As the Lead Backend Engineer, you’ll be hands-on in Kotlin every day, designing platform services, integrating workflow orchestration frameworks, and enabling GenAI-powered intent parsing and decision nodes. You need to understand complexity, trade offs and scaling.

Responsibilities: 

• Design and build backend platform services in Kotlin for ingestion, orchestration, RBAC, monitoring, and developer tooling.
• Implement and optimize workflow orchestration frameworks (e.g., Temporal, Cadence, Camunda, Argo).

• Deep knowledge of distributed systems, API design, and event-driven architectures.
• Practical experience integrating GenAI/NLP into backend systems.
• Experience with RBAC/security models in multi-tenant or enterprise environments.
