NewsBreak is seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer to lead the architecture upgrade of our AI-native backend services. This hands-on role will untangle legacy boundaries, define clean interfaces, and deliver observable, scalable systems for a high‑volume recommendation platform. You will build infrastructure that enables AI agents to operate safely in production, and you will automate high-toil engineering workflows into reliable, self‑serve systems. You’ll deliver backend capabilities for product initiatives, such as experiments and growth systems, and own reliability through observability, safe rollback, and knowledge sharing. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of backend experience with strong Java, Kubernetes, and CI/CD, and has designed backend architectures for high‑QPS, large‑scale recommendation, search, or ads systems. Experience refactoring live production systems with incremental migrations and safe rollouts is highly valued. Bonus: exposure to LLM agents or AIOps. This position is based in Mountain View, CA, United States, and the base pay range is $118,000–$212,000 USD, depending on experience and skills.
