About the company
Our client is a fast-growing software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Design and build backend and distributed services for a no-code product aimed at non-technical users.

- Weigh long-term design tradeoffs so that services stay robust, maintainable and able to handle growth.
