Senior Backend Engineer, Backend Platform (PHP and Python)
Manychat, Inc, Barcelona, Spain +1
What you will do
- Lead company-level technical projects end to end, from design and planning to rollout and support, such as completing our Auth Service development and shaping authorization as a separate layer for PHP and Python.
- Shape the shared PHP and Python platform, and decide where each module should live based on the needs of the whole system.
- Build the foundations that let new Python products launch and scale without being wired through PHP each time.
- Define clear ownership of technical components across the backend, including who owns monitoring and knowledge for each.
- Improve how we spot and handle problems: bug and incident management, less noise in alerts and error tracking, and Grafana Cloud dashboards for how services interact.
- Find root causes across PHP and Python services using metrics, logs, and distributed tracing.
- Make performance part of everyday work, not something we fix after incidents: clear performance metrics, tools that show where things slow down, and analysis of unusual user behavior that causes degradation.
