Interested? Role Overview We are looking for a strong backend engineer with solid experience in API design and distributed systems, who is ready to own and scale GraphQL APIs in production. While direct GraphQL ownership is highly valued, we are open to candidates who have: Strong backend/API ownership experience Exposure to GraphQL (even if not leading it yet) Proven ability to design scalable systems and quickly ramp up This role requires engineers who can take ownership of API design decisions, performance, and scalability, not just implement tasks. Key ResponsibilitiesGraphQL & API Ownership (Core Focus) Design, develop, and evolve GraphQL APIs for performance and scalability Define schemas, resolvers, and data models across distributed systems Own key decisions: Schema design and governance Backwards compatibility API evolution strategies Integrate multiple backend systems into a unified GraphQL layer Collaborate closely with frontend/client teams consuming the API 👉 Candidates without deep GraphQL experience are expected to ramp up quickly and take ownership within the role. .NET Backend Development Build scalable backend services using C# .NET Apply clean architecture and best practices Ensure maintainability and performance Cloud & Distributed Systems (Azure) (Core Focus) Deploy and operate distributed systems in Microsoft Azure Ensure reliability, observability, and scalability Troubleshoot and optimize production systems Event-Driven Architecture (Secondary) Support event-driven workflows when needed Kafka is a plus, not a requirement Must-Have (Non-Negotiable) 5+ years in backend or API engineering Strong experience with C# .NET Proven experience owning APIs in production Solid understanding of: Distributed systems API performance and scalability Data modeling (SQL/NoSQL) Experience with Microsoft Azure GraphQL (Flexible Entry Point) We are open to candidates with either: Option A (Ideal): Strong experience designing and owning GraphQL APIs in production Option B (High Potential): Hands-on exposure to GraphQL OR Strong REST/API design experience with understanding of: Over-fetching / under-fetching challenges Client-driven data needs API abstraction layers 👉 Candidates in this category must demonstrate the ability to quickly transition into GraphQL ownership. What We Are Specifically Looking For (Refined Signal) Strong candidates typically have: Owned APIs end-to-end in production Made architectural or design decisions Worked with multiple consumers (frontend, mobile, external clients) Experience integrating multiple data sources into a unified API GraphQL-specific experience is a strong plus, but not the only signal of success. Less Suitable Candidates Only implemented APIs without ownership No experience with performance or scalability challenges Limited exposure to multi-team environments No understanding of API design trade-offs Nice to Have GraphQL in production environments Kafka / event-driven systems Docker / Kubernetes Observability tools (Azure Monitor, App Insights) 🚀 Integration into global brands and disruptive startups. 🏡 Remote work / Home office. 📍 If a hybrid or on-site modality is required, you will be informed from the first interview. ⏳ Schedule aligned with the assigned project or work cell. 📅 Monday to Friday work schedule. 🎉 Day off on your birthday. 🏥 Major medical expenses insurance (applicable in Mexico). 🛡️ Life insurance (applicable in Mexico). 🌎 Multicultural work teams. 🎓 Access to courses and certifications. 📢 Meetups with special guests from the IT industry. 📡 Virtual team-building events and interest groups. 📢 English classes. 🏆 Opportunities across our different business lines. 🏅 Proudly certified as a Great Place to Work.
