Software Engineer, Distributed Systems
LucidLink, Sofia Office
About the job
Hi, I'm Georgi, Engineering Manager at LucidLink. We're looking for a Software Engineer with strong backend fundamentals, a research-informed approach to system design, and a clear focus on work that holds up under real scale. This is a chance to help rebuild one of the most foundational parts of our product from the ground up. In our team, ownership, craft and real reliability matter a lot.
We're looking for someone who's comfortable working from an open problem to a working system - helping decide the architecture, the database, and the protocol, not just building to a spec someone else already wrote. This work sits in a complex, data-intensive product space, with connected services, integrations and technical depth that make the engineering challenges especially interesting. Experience or interest in distributed databases and high-throughput systems is a strong plus.
What You'll Do
- Own outcomes on the metadata service rebuild - turning scale and reliability research into concrete architecture and database decisions
- Partner with Platform Engineering and SRE to balance reliability, performance and delivery speed
- Use data, benchmarks and engineering judgment to improve outcomes
