Our backend team members are the architects and the backbone of our product, maintaining infrastructure across multiple secure and scalable interconnected services. We're looking for engineers who are able to provide enterprise-grade solutions to non-standard problems on a large scale.

What’s a non-standard problem? How about building a version-control system from scratch, for multi-dimensional design files? Which works seamlessly with a real-time collaboration system, which can accept and resolve offline changes from multiple clients?

These are the types of tough challenges our backend engineers work on.
