Join the Incogni engineering team and help us build the next-generation backend platform powering Incogni and Ironwall at scale.

We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who thinks in systems, designs for growth, and enjoys building reliable, scalable services.

• Drive the evolution of our service platform together with senior and lead engineers;
• Identify performance bottlenecks and scalability challenges, and propose pragmatic, long-term solutions;
• Own complex technical initiatives end-to-end, from design to production rollout;
• Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code while raising engineering standards across the team.

• Strong experience building production-grade backend systems
• Solid understanding of software design principles, distributed systems, and API design
• Experience with databases, messaging systems, and service-oriented or event-driven architectures
• Ability to reason about concurrency, performance, and reliability
• Confidence participating in architectural discussions and technical decision-making
