As a Sr Backend Software Engineer on the Real-Time Pricing team, you will build innovative products and scalable systems that power our global marketplace. Our systems produce real-time decision signals and sophisticated algorithms that other critical systems depend on every second. The problems here are complex, the systems are massive, and the stakes are immediate. ## What you'll do 1. Own the implementation of complex optimization decision problems and handle low-latency microservices at scale at millions of QPS. 2. Understand and integrate with prediction systems, unifying pipelines into a combined real-time serving architecture. 3. Own the software lifecycle end-to-end: from design docs through production rollout, debugging live issues, and managing incidents. 4. Collaborate across disciplines — Product, Applied Science, UX Design and Ops — to translate ambiguous marketplace problems into robust system designs. ## Basic Qualifications 1. 5+ years of professional software engineering experience in backend development, distributed systems, or real-time data processing. 2. Proficiency in one or more object-oriented or functional programming languages (e.g., Go, Java, Python). 3. Track record of leading the design and delivery of complex, multi-quarter projects across team boundaries. 4. Experience designing and operating high-throughput, low-latency production services. 5. Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. ## Preferred Qualifications 1. Experience with marketplace, pricing, dispatch, forecasting, or other real-time decision systems where algorithm behavior has direct business impact. 2. Experience partnering with data scientists or applied scientists to productionize models and experimental systems. 3. Familiarity with real-time data streaming (e.g., Kafka, Flink) or large-scale time-series forecasting. 4. Demonstrated technical leadership: mentoring engineers, driving design reviews, and raising operational standards in high-load systems. 5. Proven ability to thrive in high-ambiguity problem spaces, exercising sound judgment on trade-offs with imperfect information.
