Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client.

- Deep knowledge of distributed systems on the backend.

- A university degree in computer science, computer engineering or a related electrical engineering field, ideally from a highly regarded institution.

- At least 1.5 years of experience working at a startup.

- A collaborative style and comfort speaking up with ideas for improvement.
