Informacje o stanowisku

We are growing fast as a company and do our best to bring our SaaS cloud-based backup services to the global audience. 

We are seeking an experienced Engineering Manager - Backend (C++) to lead and mentor a team of backend engineers in developing scalable, high-performance software solutions. In this role, you will oversee technical execution, drive architectural decisions, and ensure best engineering practices while collaborating with cross-functional teams. You will play a crucial role in both hands-on technical leadership and people management to deliver robust backend services.

Our platform is designed to provide customers with an immutable historical archive of their primary data in systems such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, Entra ID, Dynamics 365, and Zendesk. It aims to protect them against everything, starting from ransomware to simple accidents.

Most of our back-end components are written in clean, modern C++ using mainly purpose-built components and STL. Several components that deal with business processes and data mining are built using Common Lisp. Everything runs on Linux. 

Backing up billions of objects over foreign APIs using imperfect networks on systems with finite memory and making it all happen in as little time as possible is no small feat.
