Senior Backend Engineer - Tools and Automation

Gametime is a marketplace that connects people to live experiences across mobile and web platforms. The Tools and Automation team builds internal systems and automation to scale operations and streamline workflows; they are looking for a senior backend engineer (IC3) who will design reliable APIs, workflow systems, and AI-assisted automation to reduce manual work and enable cross-functional teams to move faster.

Skills

  • Experience building workflow automation and orchestration systems (e.g., Temporal or similar).
  • Strong backend development skills (Golang preferred; proficiency in Python, Java, Ruby, C#, Rust, etc. acceptable).
  • Solid system design experience for distributed, scalable, and reliable systems.
  • API design and versioning for composable integrations.
  • Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
  • Database experience with relational (Postgres, MySQL) and NoSQL stores (MongoDB, DynamoDB).
  • Observability, testing, and performance optimization best practices.
  • Practical familiarity with AI-assisted development and when to apply LLMs for automation.
  • Experience building tools and internal platforms that support engineering and operations.

Responsibilities

  • Design and deliver automated workflows that map and reimagine manual operational processes in partnership with ops and product teams.
  • Own and extend foundational systems that enable composable, reliable, and observable automation capabilities.
  • Design and build well-structured, versioned APIs for integrations across internal and external systems.
  • Build, test, instrument, and monitor systems powering behind-the-scenes processes for the marketplace.
  • Identify and advocate for automation and system improvements that align with strategic objectives.
  • Collaborate with teammates through pair programming, design reviews, and code reviews to raise engineering quality.
  • Leverage AI-assisted tools and LLM helpers to accelerate delivery while maintaining clarity and maintainability.
  • Apply AI/LLM solutions judiciously—use them where they provide leverage and avoid them when traditional engineering is more effective.
  • Work cross-functionally to balance human judgment with automated efficiency and support operational teams.
  • Contribute to team culture, mentoring, and continuous improvement of how the team learns and delivers.

Education

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field (required).

Benefits

  • Flexible PTO
  • Competitive salary and equity package
  • Monthly Gametime credits for events ($1,200/yr)
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance and disability benefits
  • Diverse family-forming benefits (Carrot Fertility)
  • 401(k), HSA, and pre-tax savings programs
  • Company off-sites and meet-ups
  • Wellness programs
  • Tenure recognition
