About the Backup Team

At NinjaOne, the Backup Engineering team is solving one of IT’s hardest problems: protecting millions of endpoints, servers, and cloud-managed applications reliably, at scale, and from a single console. Our work spans three squads (Server Backup, Endpoint Backup, and SaaS Backup), covering everything from image-based bare-metal recovery to identity restore for Microsoft Entra.

Responsible for implementing design patterns and working on enterprise level software challenges in a startup environment. Impact product more hands-on than at other companies, building software of scale that runs on millions of endpoints.
• Debugging and Profiling: Debug and profile production Java services using tools like New Relic and structured log analysis; identify and resolve performance bottlenecks before they reach customers.
• Database Optimization: Design and optimize relational database schemas and queries for performance at scale, including index tuning, query planning, and storage efficiency improvements.
• Mentoring: Support the growth of engineers across the team through knowledge sharing, targeted feedback, and coaching to help build a stronger, more aligned engineering culture.
• Code Reviews: Conduct thorough peer code reviews, providing constructive, specific feedback and contributing to architecture discussions and key technical decisions.
• Documentation: Document system architecture, design tradeoffs, and operational procedures so that knowledge is shared and decisions are traceable across the team.
• Cross-team Collaboration: Collaborate with engineers across backend, infrastructure, and product teams to drive system reliability, integration, and long-term platform improvements.
• Other duties as needed
