What drives us is the shared motivation to make an impact and actively shape the future of eCommerce.

#### Job Description

#### Qualifications

- **5+ years** of hands-on experience in **backend engineering**, with a strong focus on **modern PHP (8+)** and frameworks like **Symfony or Laravel**
- Deep experience writing **clean, idiomatic Go** and leveraging its native **concurrency primitives** (goroutines, channels) to build high-throughput, low-latency APIs.
- Solid grasp of core engineering principles (**SOLID, clean architecture**) and distributed system design
- Strong experience **optimizing data and caching layers** using **MySQL** (indexing, query tuning) and **Redis** (caching patterns, data structures)
- Hands-on experience or active interest in using **GenAI tools** to streamline development workflows or build modern product features
- **Proactive problem solver** capable of tackling complex technical tasks independently from initial design to production deployment
- **Collaborative team player** with **strong English communication skills**, dedicated to code quality, peer mentorship, and elevating overall team performance
