Futurefit AI Senior Backend Engineer (Integrations & Platform) at Futurefit AI to design and maintain scalable backend systems for complex data integrations. Focus on async workflows, operational automation, and observability.
Responsibilities
We’re seeking a Senior Backend Engineer (Integrations & Platform) to build the backbone our platform runs on. You’ll design scalable backend systems that power complex data integrations with government and enterprise partners, remove manual operational work, and help the team move faster with less friction.
This is a build role and an operate role: when a sync fails or a record looks wrong, you can trace it back to the cause and fix it.
Our integration footprint has grown quickly, and the most demanding piece is a bidirectional data sync with an external partner that requires sophisticated error handling, async workflows, and operational automation. You’ll start there, then turn what you build into the patterns and infrastructure we use for integration reliability across the platform.
This is hands-on, high-impact work where you’ll see results quickly: fewer production issues, faster support resolution, and systems that scale with confidence.
Complex data integrations: Design, build, and maintain deep, bidirectional data integrations with government and enterprise partners, including partners with limited documentation.
Asynchronous workflows: Build reliable async processing using queues, retries, idempotency, and eventual consistency patterns, handling duplicates, missing dependencies, and validation failures defensively.
Operational automation: Eliminate categories of manual support work through backend services, Lambda functions, and internal tools that let non-technical teammates diagnose and resolve issues themselves.
Observability: Implement structured logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting so issues surface before support tickets do.
Production reliability: Stay close enough to running systems to debug them, including code you did not write.
Reusable patterns: Establish integration standards the rest of the team can build on.
Partner collaboration: Work with external vendors on API changes and coordinated deployments.
