Integrate Backend Engineer builds and scales distributed backend systems handling high-throughput, real-time data for Integrate’s project management platform. The role involves performance profiling and debugging of Go and Rust services.
Responsibilities
We’re hiring a Backend Engineer to join a small, high-ownership engineering team building the infrastructure layer of Integrate’s platform. This isn’t a maintenance role — you’re coming in to help us scale.
The problems you’ll work on are real and immediate: distributed system performance, data federation at scale, and building the architecture that lets Integrate grow with its increasing customer base. You’ll work closely with engineers who care deeply about craft, move fast, and aren’t afraid to make hard calls.
If you’ve built systems that handle serious consumer or commercial load — cloud migrations, microservice transitions, distributed data pipelines, event-driven architecture — this is the role for you.
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
You’ll be working primarily in Go, with Python for tooling and data workflows. Our stack includes gRPC, REST/JSON, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL stores, and Kubernetes-managed infrastructure. We use Terraform for infra-as-code.
We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in distributed backend systems — though we don't expect you to check every box. Here's the kind of background that sets you up well:
Qualification
Required
You operate well with autonomy and ambiguity. You’re the kind of engineer who runs toward hard problems, and you’re comfortable in an environment where the right answer isn’t always obvious on day one.
You’re excited to learn and grow in all facets. You’re joining a team that’s building in the open — that means context-sharing, code review that actually teaches something, and the expectation that everyone is leveling up together.
