Backend Engineer

Full timeRemoteEngineeringUS$100,000 per year

Own the data layer behind 600,000 questions: schema, queries, imports and the jobs that keep it all current.

Apply for this role

The catalogue is large and keeps growing, and almost every interesting problem here is a data problem — importing banks, de-duplicating questions, keeping counts correct, making a page that joins five tables return in under a hundred milliseconds.

What you will do

  • Design schema and queries for a catalogue in the hundreds of thousands of rows.
  • Build and maintain the import pipelines that bring new question banks in.
  • Own the scheduled jobs: retention, reconciliation, notifications.

What we are looking for

  • Deep SQL, ideally Postgres. You read EXPLAIN without flinching.
  • Experience with data imports that have to be re-runnable and idempotent.
  • Careful about migrations against a live database.

What we offer

  • Fully remote, and genuinely worldwide — we hire where you already are.
  • Flexible hours. We ask for a few hours of overlap, not a timezone.
  • A small team, so the person who wants the work is the person you talk to.
  • Short feedback loops: what you ship reaches people sitting an exam next month.
