FutureFit AI is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Integrations & Platform team! You'll play a critical role in building the backbone of our platform. You’ll design smart, scalable backend systems that power complex integrations with government and enterprise partners, eliminate manual operational work, and set our team up to move faster with less friction. Your initial focus will be on our most technically demanding integration: a bidirectional sync system that requires sophisticated error handling, async workflows, and operational automation. You'll build the infrastructure and patterns that not only solve this specific challenge but become the foundation for how we approach integration reliability and operational excellence platform-wide. It's a hands-on, high-impact role where you'll see immediate results — fewer production issues, faster support resolution, and systems that scale confidently — while building expertise that positions you to drive platform initiatives across our growing infrastructure. #
Your Skills
Your Experience
5–8+ years in backend, platform, or integration engineering roles with focus on building reliable systems for complex external integrations
Built and maintained bidirectional sync systems between internal platforms and third-party APIs, handling edge cases like duplicate records, missing data dependencies, and validation failures
Designed and implemented event-driven architectures using serverless technologies (Lambda, Step Functions) for async workflows at scale
Integrated with legacy or government systems where API documentation is incomplete and error handling must be defensive
Worked extensively with both SQL and NoSQL databases — using document databases for state management and SQL for data validation and analytics
Built operational automation and internal tools that reduced manual support work, enabling non-technical teams to self-serve and resolve issues
Implemented comprehensive observability for integration pipelines: structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and alerting for proactive issue detection
Worked in environments with strict SLAs, compliance requirements, or high operational load where reliability and correctness are non-negotiable
Collaborated with customer support and success teams to understand pain points, prioritize fixes, and build solutions that reduce escalations
Experience with multi-tenant architectures and tenant-specific configurations
