About the Position

Are you interested in building backend systems where scalability, reliability, and architecture actually matter?

About the Product

Forma Pro develops and integrates complex software systems for digital businesses across marketplaces, advertising, logistics, PropTech, and other industries. Our backend work includes high-throughput APIs, microservices, event-driven systems, real-time processing, external integrations, and infrastructure that supports AI and machine learning applications. The problems vary between projects, but the common requirement is the same: systems have to work reliably in production, not only during a demo.

Technologies that We Use

Go
Python
PostgreSQL
Redis
Kafka and event-driven systems
REST and asynchronous APIs
AWS
Docker
Kubernetes
CI/CD and infrastructure automation

We do not expect candidates to match every technology. Strong backend fundamentals matter more than knowing a particular framework.

About You

You enjoy designing systems, not simply implementing tickets
You are comfortable making architectural decisions and explaining the trade-offs behind them
You care about reliability, maintainability, and performance
You can work independently with little supervision
You are willing to investigate unfamiliar systems and integrations
You take ownership of what happens after software reaches production
You have a proactive approach and are comfortable working in a small senior engineering team

Required Skills and Competencies

Spoken English - upper-intermediate or above
5+ years of professional backend development experience
Strong experience with Go, Python, or another backend language and willingness to work with both Go and Python
Solid understanding of distributed systems and microservice architectures
Experience designing REST APIs and service contracts
Strong SQL and relational database knowledge
Experience with asynchronous processing, queues, or event-driven systems
Experience with cloud environments
Unit and integration testing experience
Understanding of performance, security, and production reliability

Would Be a Plus

Experience with high-throughput or real-time systems
Kafka or similar streaming technologies
Kubernetes
Observability and distributed tracing
Infrastructure as Code
Experience integrating ML models, LLMs, or AI services into production applications
Experience with marketplace, advertising, attribution, or logistics systems
Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical initiatives

Responsibilities

Design and implement backend services and distributed systems
Design APIs, database structures, and service contracts
Build reliable integrations with external platforms and data sources
Develop event-driven and asynchronous processing workflows
Integrate AI and machine learning capabilities into existing products
Improve scalability, performance, observability, and fault tolerance
Write automated tests and improve engineering practices
Participate in architecture and product discussions
Review code and contribute to engineering standards
Diagnose complex production issues
Take end-to-end ownership of features from technical design through deployment and further iteration

We Offer

No micromanagement - no tracking of working hours, breaks, or activity
Freedom to choose how to solve technical problems, with responsibility for the result
Flexible working hours
Fully remote work
Interesting production engineering problems across different domains
An opportunity to influence architecture instead of simply receiving implementation tasks
Collaboration with experienced backend, data, ML, and AI engineers
Company support when you need it
Direct communication with Forma Pro's CEO and CTO
