Weekend Backend Engineer information

What is a weekend backend engineer?

Weekend Backend Engineers are software developers who specialize in building and maintaining the server-side components of web or mobile applications, and specifically work during weekends. Their responsibilities typically include managing databases, developing APIs, optimizing application performance, and ensuring the backend infrastructure is robust and scalable. Weekend Backend Engineers are often employed to provide continuous support, handle emergency fixes, or accelerate project timelines during non-standard business hours.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a weekend backend engineer?

To thrive as a Weekend Backend Engineer, you need strong programming skills (often in languages like Python, Java, or Node.js), a solid understanding of server-side frameworks, and experience with databases, typically supported by a degree in computer science or equivalent experience. Familiarity with tools such as RESTful APIs, cloud platforms (like AWS or Azure), and version control systems (e.g., Git) is essential. Excellent problem-solving, time management, and communication skills are crucial for working independently and collaborating with remote teams during off-peak hours. These skills ensure reliable system performance, quick issue resolution, and seamless integration with other services, all vital for supporting business operations outside regular hours.

What are the typical work expectations and team dynamics for a weekend backend engineer?

As a Weekend Backend Engineer, you’ll often be responsible for maintaining system stability, addressing urgent issues, and implementing updates outside of standard business hours. You’ll typically work independently, but you’ll also collaborate with on-call engineers, DevOps teams, and sometimes customer support to resolve incidents quickly. Communication is key, as you may need to document your work clearly for weekday teams to ensure smooth handovers. This role can offer valuable experience in incident response and system reliability, which are highly regarded skills for backend professionals.

Job description

New York, United States

At OneCloud, we're building an automation platform designed to empower the business user.  Data integration and transformation are a big part of that, and we set out to make this process easy, intuitive, and most importantly, code-free.  We're hiring an engineer dedicated to backend systems to help with performance, data processing, infrastructure, monitoring, and a plethora of new features we have planned.  

What you'll be doing:

  • Writing backend systems in Golang, Elixir, and Ruby:  We have an architecture that can loosely be defined as "microservices" without completely abusing the methodology.
  • Improving the performance and architecture of our GraphQL APIs
  • Building a data processing pipeline to enrich unstructured data and derive insights from an event stream (we won't call it AI...yet)
  • Helping shape architectural decisions throughout the platform


More about you:

  • 3-5+ years developing with a web language:  Golang, Elixir, and Ruby are our favorites, but we try to use the best tool for the job.  
  • Strong grasp of relational database concepts (we use Postgres primarily)
  • Familiarity with Docker, modern cloud infrastructure and microservices patterns
  • Nice to have:  Experience with AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, infrastructure monitoring, and DevOps in general - you won't have to be a sysadmin, but we like to make sure our developers understand how their code is deployed


More about the role:

  • You'll be the first engineer dedicated to backend systems on the team.  This is a great opportunity to step into a role where you can make major architectural decisions and help lead a growing team
  • We use an agile model for development, but we're mindful of our engineers being overburdened.  High-quality, well-tested code is more important than rushing out features to meet arbitrary deadlines.
  • Almost as important as high-quality code is time away from the monitor, so we won't guilt you into working through the weekend.  We also like to do team lunches, impromptu happy hours, and monthly outings - we're open to suggestions!


Compensation Structure:

  • Base Salary + variable compensation as a function of initial sales and expansions
  • Full benefits including medical, dental, and 401K plan
