Job Description

The Team
Cint Technology team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the methodology team, which owns the core product customers interact with. This role is for a backend engineer who enjoys working on high-volume, performance-sensitive systems and complex technical challenges. The team works across two main areas: Recruitment, which consumes third-party survey responses and evaluates them with backend algorithms, and Lift, which is being migrated from HTTPS/API REST toward event-driven integrations. The broader platform is also moving from a legacy monolith toward a domain-based architecture.

What You Will Do
You will work on systems that are write-heavy, asynchronous, and critical to the customer experience. The product is Tier 1, so reliability, scalability, and performance are key.

What You Will Do

• Design, implement, scale, and maintain backend systems that process large volumes of data.
• Work on event-driven and API-based integrations.
• Contribute to migration efforts toward a more domain-based and scalable architecture.
• Build and optimize software for performance-sensitive workflows.
• Investigate technical problems and propose solutions together with the team.
• Collaborate closely with data science and engineering colleagues on technical solutions.
• Participate in a collaborative development model where work is shared rather than handled alone.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of backend software engineering experience, with strong technical depth.

• Solid understanding of algorithms (HashTables, Maps, etc.), data structures (Anomaly Detection, Dynamic Routing, etc.), Big O notation, Architecture (event-drive-architecture).
• Familiarity with heavy data processing tools and technologies such as Spark, Apache ecosystem tools, Delta Lake, Parquet, Kafka, and Avro.
• Experience with Python and/or PySpark
• Experience building or maintaining complex, high-volume systems
• Experience with Docker, SQL, and NoSQL databases.
• Experience with REST APIs and event-driven integrations.
• Comfortable working in performance-oriented, production-critical environments with high-throughput & low talency systems

Soft Skills:

• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive, collaborative working style.
• Ability to communicate well with engineers and data science partners.

Academic Background:

• Computer science, computer engineering or a related field is preferred.
