About the role:

The SDE-3 Backend will work as part of the Digitization and Automation team to help Sun King design, develop,

and implement intelligent, tech-enabled solutions to help solve a large variety of our business problems. We

are looking for candidates with an affinity for technology and automation, curiosity about advances in products

and strong coding skills for our in-house software development team.

### Responsibilities

● Minimum 4+ years of experience in Java and Python, with hands-on expertise in frameworks such as

Spring Boot and Django/FastAPI.

● Expertise in AWS, with working experience in Lambda, SQS, S3, EC2 (Linux-based VMs), Load Balancer,

and RDS

● Expertise in SQL: query plans, indexing, locking, primary–replica architecture, and schema changes on

live tables

● Prior experience working with Redis

● Experience with microservices and distributed, event-driven system design: webhooks, queues, and

third-party API integrations

● Observability experience with Grafana and Prometheus/Loki, or an equivalent stack

● Experience running Docker in production (images, Compose, and runtime configs)

● Working experience with message brokers and event-streaming systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ

● Hands-on experience with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) in

day-to-day development

### Skills

● Lead incident RCAs, reasoning from what changed against a baseline rather than from snapshots

● Write design docs and architecture maps

● Mentor engineers through code review and pairing

● Own systems after launch, including on-call, runbooks, and cost

● Use AI coding assistants every day, applying the judgement to review, test, and take ownership of the

code they help generate

● Design and build applications and systems from wireframes and product requirements documents

● Identify and fix bottlenecks and bugs according to operational requirements

● Design and develop logical and physical data models that meet application requirements

● Build for scalability, performance, service robustness, and cost trade-offs

● Create prototypes and proofs of concept for iterative development

● Take complete, end-to-end ownership of projects and their development cycle

### Benefits

- Professional growth in a dynamic, rapidly expanding, high-social-impact industry
- An open-minded, collaborative culture made up of enthusiastic colleagues who are driven by the challenge of innovation towards profound impact on people and the planet.
- A truly multicultural experience: you will have the chance to work with and learn from people from different geographies, nationalities, and backgrounds.
- Structured, tailored learning and development programs that help you become a better leader, manager, and professional through the Sun King Center for Leadership.
