Backend Engineer

Integrate is building a real-time, cross-boundary project management platform for complex government and commercial programs. The Backend Engineer will build and scale the platform’s infrastructure layer, focusing on distributed systems, data federation, APIs, storage, performance, and production reliability.

Responsibilities

Design and scale distributed backend systems handling high-throughput, real-time data across a complex dependency graph

Own performance profiling and debugging across our Go and Rust services — identify bottlenecks and ship fixes

Contribute to our data federation architecture, including S3 integration, graduation pipelines, and downstream data services

Build and evolve gRPC service interfaces and REST/JSON APIs consumed across internal and external surfaces

Work across SQL and NoSQL data stores — schema design, query optimization, and durability patterns

Drive infrastructure decisions in collaboration with platform engineers and technical leads

Instrument, observe, and debug production systems — on-call, root cause analysis, and incident follow-through

Preferred

Familiarity with gRPC and REST/JSON API design at scale

experience with gRPC design patterns, binary serialization, or API gateway-layer GraphQL

Exposure to cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure), particularly around compute, storage, and data services

Terraform or other IaC tooling

experience with load testing or chaos engineering

Background in ecommerce, fintech, or other consumer-scale SaaS
