## Job description

Join the Incogni engineering team and help us build the next-generation backend system that powers our products, Incogni and Ironwall, at scale. We’re looking for a senior backend engineer who thinks in systems, designs for growth, and is comfortable working across multiple technologies.

Our mission is to build a scalable, secure, and reliable service platform that supports rapid business growth and evolving product needs. You’ll work on core application systems and service architectures that sit at the heart of our platform.

### IF YOU WANT TO:

- Design, build, and evolve high-traffic, business-critical backend services with a focus on scalability and reliability;

- Lead and influence architectural decisions — from domain modeling and service boundaries to infrastructure and deployment strategies;

- Drive the evolution of our next-generation service platform together with senior and lead engineers;

- Identify system bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements to support long-term growth;

- Own complex technical initiatives end-to-end, from design to production;

- Write clean, well-tested code while raising engineering standards across the team.

### AND YOU CAN CHECK OFF:

- Strong experience as a backend engineer building production-grade platforms and distributed systems;

- Solid understanding of software design patterns, microservice architecture, and RESTful API design principles;

- Confidence working with different programming languages and stacks, and picking the right tool for the problem;

- Experience working with databases, messaging systems, and distributed components;

- Comfort participating in code reviews, design discussions, and technical decision-making.

### BONUS POINTS IF YOU:

- Have experience building or scaling platforms that serve millions of requests;

- Proficiency in at least two backend programming languages (e.g., PHP, Go, TypeScript/JavaScript);

- Designed systems with reliability, observability, and operational concerns in mind.

### HERE'S THE DEAL:

- Growth and learning opportunities: time dedicated to learning, conferences, online learning platforms, and books for your professional development;

- Health and wellness: we want you to feel and be your best. That's why we offer various benefits, from online workouts, a physical coach and a gym to regular mental health checks;

- Tools of your choice: choose technical equipment and the tools you need to do your best;

- Community and celebrations: get ready for long-lasting traditions such as yearly workation, Friday get-togethers, various team buildings and company celebrations;

- Convenient commuting: traveling from point A to point B can be a pain. That’s why, depending on your unique circumstances, we compensate part of your public transport costs;

- Work-life balance: We encourage working in the office, with the possibility of up to two remote days per week. Plus, with our WFA policy, you can work from almost anywhere in the world;

- Premium Surfshark accounts: for you, your family, and friends;

- Gross salary: 5600 - 7200 Eur/month for the Lithuanian market, 23800-33400 PLN/month for the Polish market. It may vary depending on your skills and experience.

**Live in Surfshark’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
