Backend Engineer

Prelude, founded by former Zenly team members, is revolutionizing user verification and onboarding through their authentication platform. As a Backend Engineer, you'll be integral to developing their flagship product that optimizes OTP delivery across multiple channels while preventing spam attacks. The role combines distributed systems design, full-stack development, and infrastructure management using cutting-edge technologies like AWS, Go, and Next.js.

You'll work directly on the Prelude Dashboard and API, the primary interfaces for customer interaction. The position offers significant growth potential in a small, skilled team with a flat hierarchy, based in their Opera, Paris office. The role demands expertise in Go programming, distributed systems, and a passion for building scalable solutions.

Key responsibilities include building distributed systems with AWS technologies, developing full-stack applications, improving API functionality, and ensuring system reliability. You'll also be involved in fraud prevention model deployment and customer interaction for feature development. The ideal candidate brings 4+ years of experience in large-scale systems, strong Go programming skills, and a preference for elegant, simple solutions.

The company offers a competitive package including equity (BSPCEs), flexible hybrid working arrangements, and regular team offsites. Their interview process is comprehensive but focuses on practical skills and problem-solving ability rather than perfect technical knowledge. The role presents an excellent opportunity to shape the future of user verification while working with a dynamic, product-focused team.
