About the role

Octal Labs is looking for a Mid-level Software Engineer to join our core engineering team. We focus on building high-performance, scalable systems that solve complex infrastructure challenges. As a member of a lean, high-output team, you will work closely with product and design to bridge the gap between technical requirements and user experience. This is an onsite position for engineers who thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy tackling ambiguous problems with clean, maintainable code.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and deploy production-grade services and APIs.
• Own end-to-end feature development, from architectural design to testing and deployment.
• Optimize system performance and scalability to handle increasing data loads.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and technical specifications.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to internal engineering standards.
• Debug and resolve complex production issues across the entire stack.

What we're looking for

• 3+ years of professional software development experience in a product-driven environment.
• Proficiency in at least one modern backend language (e.g., Go, Python, Java, or Node.js).
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and RESTful API design.
• Strong experience with relational and non-relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB).
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• A degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience with front-end frameworks like React or Vue.js.
• Contributions to open-source projects or a history of technical writing.
• Previous experience working in a high-growth startup environment.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipeline automation and monitoring tools.
