Experience 3–6 yrs (3–5 years)
About the role
structured by ORIAbout Revolte Revolte is building AI for Software Engineering. We are creating an AI-native platform that helps engineering teams execute the software delivery lifecycle with speed, quality, and control — from planning and implementation to testing, release, governance, and production feedback.
What you will do
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable, reliable, and production-ready backend services.
- Build REST APIs, microservices, integrations, and event-driven backend systems.
- Own backend features end to end, from technical design and implementation to testing, deployment, and production support.
- Design and optimise data models, database queries, caching, and asynchronous workflows.
- Work on distributed systems with a focus on scalability, performance, reliability, and security.
What they are looking for
- 3–5 years of professional experience in backend software engineering.
- Strong experience building and operating production-grade backend systems.
- Strong understanding of system design, APIs, databases, distributed systems, and software architecture.
- Strong programming and problem-solving skills.
- Experience taking ownership of complex features and technical initiatives.
- Ability to make sound engineering trade-offs around scalability, performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Strong debugging and production troubleshooting skills.
- Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional engineering and product teams.
- Strong proficiency in Python, Go, Java, or Node.js/TypeScript.
- Experience building scalable RESTful APIs and microservices.
- Experience with PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, or similar databases.
- Experience with message brokers or event-driven systems such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, or similar.
Nice to have
- Experience mentoring or supporting junior engineers is a plus.
- Interest in AI, developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, and modern software engineering.
- Experience with AI/LLM APIs, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, or AI agents is a strong plus.
