Senior Product Engineer, Backend

Zūm, Hybrid Remote/ Redwood City, CA

What you will do

Own one or more product verticals within backend engineering, building customer-facing features end-to-end.
Build microservices and APIs using our stack: Kubernetes, Kafka, PostgreSQL, gRPC, and related tools consuming the platform primitives (auth, data access, shared services) our platform team provides rather than building them yourself.
Work closely with Product and Design to translate requirements into technical designs and shipped functionality.
Write high-quality, maintainable, testable code, and participate actively in code review.
Instrument what you build for visibility and traceability using tools like Datadog, Rollbar, and Segment.
Contribute to engineering practices within your team, but the platform's shared standards and infrastructure are owned by the Platform Infrastructure team, not you.

You care about shipping features that customers actually feel, and you measure your work by the business outcomes it drives.
