Role overview

Mrsool is one of the largest delivery platforms in the MENA region, utilizing Generative AI to provide an 'order anything from anywhere' experience. We are seeking an experienced Software Development Engineer III (SDE-3) - Backend to join our core engineering team to drive technical excellence, lead end-to-end project execution, and contribute to the growth and success of our highly scalable system architecture.

Responsibilities

Lead project execution by driving RFCs, design docs (HLD/LLD), and execution plans for the product development team, ensuring strict adherence to best practices and standards in engineering.
Design, build, and maintain highly concurrent, low-latency backend systems capable of processing massive transactional throughput.
Influence technical decisions and project direction based on your backend expertise utilizing Ruby on Rails and Go (Golang), but not limited to them.
Write clean, performance-optimized, and maintainable code.
Optimize database performance, query execution tuning, and cache-layer strategies (using PostgreSQL, Redis, etc.) while safeguarding data consistency across microservices.
Collaborate effectively with product managers, designers, DevOps, and other engineering squads to deliver seamless integrations and exceptional user experiences.
Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers (SDE-1/2), fostering their professional growth, reviewing complex pull requests, and raising the bar for the engineering culture.
Proactively identify and address system bottlenecks, address the root causes of persistent infrastructural issues, and champion automated testing, observability (tracing/metrics), and CI/CD automation.
Identify opportunities for organizational enhancements, propose structural technical alternatives to optimize team execution, and balance short-term feature delivery with long-term architectural stability.

Requirements

5 to 8+ years of intensive, non-internship professional software development experience in fast-paced product startups or high-scale tech enterprises.
Adequate knowledge of the Ruby on Rails framework along with robust experience/proficiency in Go (Golang), focusing on building high-performance APIs and multi-threaded systems.
A strong grasp of computer science fundamentals when it comes to dealing with distributed systems, networks, concurrency control, and the trade-offs of the CAP theorem.
Strong proficiency in database ecosystems and architectural patterns like PostgreSQL, RESTful APIs, gRPC, and MVC architecture.
A knack for problem-solving, thinking from first principles, and a strong track record of delivering high-quality software while gracefully balancing Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) like reliability, scaling, security, and usability.
A bias towards shipping early and iterating; a strong belief in making small, incremental changes to existing systems instead of large, multi-quarter undertakings.
Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, set clear technical expectations, handle stakeholders, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science or an equivalent technical field.

Nice to have

Familiarity with other backend technologies and frameworks.
Experience with database design, optimization, and query performance tuning.
Experience in driving technical decisions and implementing positive organizational changes.

Benefits

Inclusive and diverse workplace that values innovation and offers remote environments.
Competitive compensation packages including potential share options for certain roles.
Personal and professional growth support including regular training and an annual learning stipend.
High degree of autonomy in your role, supported by mentorship and ambitious goals.
