&lt;p&gt;We&#39;re looking for a &lt;strong&gt;Senior Backend Software Development Engineer (SDE 3)&lt;/strong&gt; with deep technical expertise in building and operating production systems at scale. You&#39;ll &lt;strong&gt;own entire components/services&lt;/strong&gt; within microservices and data pipelines that handle &lt;strong&gt;~200K queries per second and process petabytes of data daily&lt;/strong&gt;. This role demands hands-on coding excellence, strong Low-Level Design (LLD) skills, and complete ownership—from component architecture through infrastructure management to cost optimization. You&#39;ll architect solutions, lead technical decisions, and drive operational excellence while shipping code daily.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Responsibilities:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Component Ownership:&lt;/strong&gt; Own one or more critical components/services end-to-end—responsible for architecture, development, deployment, operations, and evolution&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Technical Ownership:&lt;/strong&gt; Own the entire lifecycle of your components—design, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low-Level Design:&lt;/strong&gt; Create detailed technical designs (LLD) for complex systems—defining data models, APIs, concurrency patterns, and failure modes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hands-on Development:&lt;/strong&gt; Write production-grade code daily—this is not a purely architectural role; you&#39;ll be deep in the codebase&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Infrastructure Ownership:&lt;/strong&gt; Own and operate the infrastructure your components run on—capacity planning, scaling, reliability improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost Management:&lt;/strong&gt; Drive cost optimization for owned components—analyze spending, identify waste, implement efficient architectures&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scale &amp;amp; Performance:&lt;/strong&gt; Build and optimize systems handling 200K+ QPS and petabyte-scale data processing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Observability:&lt;/strong&gt; Design and implement comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and debugging capabilities for owned components&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Incident Leadership:&lt;/strong&gt; Lead incident response for your components and related services, conduct post-mortems, drive systemic improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On-Call Excellence:&lt;/strong&gt; Participate in on-call rotations and ensure your components are operationally sound (runbooks, alerts, dashboards)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Technical Roadmap:&lt;/strong&gt; Define and drive the technical roadmap for your owned components—balancing feature development, tech debt, and operational improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Technical Mentorship:&lt;/strong&gt; Guide junior and mid-level engineers on system design, code quality, and production best practices&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cross-functional Collaboration:&lt;/strong&gt; Work with product, infra, and other eng teams to define requirements and deliver solutions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Agile Execution:&lt;/strong&gt; Break down complex projects, deliver incrementally in daily cadence, iterate based on feedback&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required Qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Experience:&lt;/strong&gt; 4-5+ years building and operating backend systems in production environments at scale&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Education:&lt;/strong&gt; B.E./B.Tech in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Component Ownership:&lt;/strong&gt; Proven track record of owning significant components or services from inception to maturity—demonstrable end-to-end ownership&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low-Level Design (LLD):&lt;/strong&gt; Proven ability to create detailed technical designs—data structures, algorithms, API contracts, concurrency models, failure handling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Programming Mastery:&lt;/strong&gt; Expert-level proficiency in at least one modern language (Go, Python, Java, etc.) with track record of writing maintainable, performant production code&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Databases:&lt;/strong&gt; Deep hands-on experience with SQL and NoSQL databases—schema design, query optimization, indexing strategies, operational troubleshooting&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microservices at Scale:&lt;/strong&gt; Extensive experience building, deploying, and operating microservices handling high throughput and large data volumes&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Data Pipelines:&lt;/strong&gt; Strong background designing and running data processing pipelines at scale (batch and/or streaming)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Observability:&lt;/strong&gt; Expert understanding of metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting—you know how to make systems debuggable&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Production Operations:&lt;/strong&gt; Significant experience with incident response, on-call rotations, debugging live issues under pressure&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Infrastructure Knowledge:&lt;/strong&gt; Hands-on experience managing infrastructure, understanding resource utilization, capacity planning&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cost Consciousness:&lt;/strong&gt; Experience analyzing and optimizing infrastructure costs at scale&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Distributed Systems:&lt;/strong&gt; Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, concurrency, consistency models, and failure scenarios&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accountability:&lt;/strong&gt; Track record of taking full ownership—from design through deployment to ongoing operations and improvements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Preferred Qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) including cost management tools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kubernetes and container orchestration at scale&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Streaming data systems (Kafka, Pub/Sub, Kinesis, Flink, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SRE principles and reliability engineering practices&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience with FinOps or infrastructure cost optimization&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Performance profiling and optimization (CPU, memory, I/O)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Technical leadership experience including mentorship of teams and driving multi-component initiatives&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open source contributions or recognized technical writing&lt;/li&gt;
