Senior Backend Engineer (Platform Team)

Kombo builds the integration infrastructure that HR tech products are built on, offering a unified API, a large-scale data synchronisation engine, an observability platform and an embedded integration configuration UI to other software companies. The Platform team is a horizontal team that serves the whole engineering organisation, working on scaling infrastructure, finding and fixing application and database bottlenecks, improving CI and developer workflows, and evolving on-call and incident response. This is explicitly not a traditional infrastructure or SRE role: the engineer works where application code meets infrastructure, on scalability bottlenecks, Postgres performance, reliability, high-risk migrations, developer tooling and production incidents. Part of the mandate for the next one to two years is enabling product engineering teams to own and operate more of their own infrastructure. The role is on-site in Berlin.
