Role summary

We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join a remote R&D team building high-performance remote desktop software for enterprise customers. You will be responsible for operating and evolving the core backend systems powering authentication, permissions, admin tooling, telemetry, and network relays. The role involves designing and implementing secure, multi-region APIs to support millions of users and leading complex refactors of the server codebase. The ideal candidate has 7-15 years of backend experience, a strong track record of shipping secure and performant services, and is comfortable owning significant product areas. Experience with Go is preferred, but engineers with backgrounds in Java, Django, Rails, or C# are also encouraged to apply.

ABOUT THE TEAM

We build remote desktop software for high-performance workstations. The product must be

invisible, ultra-fast, and production grade for enterprise customers. We’re a small, senior R&D

team obsessed with squeezing milliseconds out of systems, shipping products that scale to

millions of users, and delivering engineering work you can be proud of.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

  • Operate and evolve the core backend powering authentication, permissions, admin tooling, telemetry, and high-performance network relays.
  • Design and implement secure, multi-region systems and APIs that support millions of users with enterprise-grade security.
  • Lead refactors and additions to a complex server codebase (monolith → clean architecture preferred).
  • Partner closely with product, support, and infrastructure to ship features end-to-end and iterate with customers.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS

  • 7–15 years building backend systems in startups or scale-ups (enterprise SaaS a big plus).
  • Strong track record of shipping secure, reliable, and performant backend services.
  • Comfortable with owning large areas of a product and making pragmatic tradeoffs.
  • Happy to go deep: prefer building the right low-dependency solution rather than bolting on the latest library.
  • Product- and customer-focused. You care about fit & finish and good UX for admins and IT users.

NICE TO HAVE

  • Experience with API/permissions modeling, complex admin/enterprise features, telemetry/event systems, or large refactors of monoliths.
  • Go experience preferred but we’ll hire Go-curious engineers coming from Java, Django, Rails, or C# backgrounds.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

  • $180,000 to $250,000 USD base salary per year
  • Equity
  • Comprehensive healthcare benefits
  • Generous PTO
  • And more...
