About this role
Role Overview
Designing and maintaining the TRR backend — ride matching, station queueing, request lifecycle management, and fare calculation
Building and operating services on top of PostgreSQL, Redis, and RabbitMQ in a Kubernetes environment
Improving system observability — tracing, metrics, alerting — so we catch problems before riders do
Collaborating on API design with our frontend, mobile, and operations teams
Participating in incident response and post-mortems
Requirements
Deep fluency in at least one backend language (TypeScript/Node.js, Go, Python, or Java)
Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL (query optimization, indexing strategies, schema migrations) and Redis (caching patterns, pub/sub, rate limiting)
Familiarity with message broker patterns — RabbitMQ preferred, but Kafka or NATS experience translates well
Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: consistency models, failure modes, backpressure, idempotency
Experience with Kubernetes in production — not just deploying, but debugging networking issues, resource contention, and pod lifecycle surprises
Strong debugging instincts
