About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Backend Infrastructure team. In this high-impact role, you will be pivotal in shaping the foundations that enable all of Agora's developers to build and ship software effectively. You will be responsible for designing, building, and owning the scalable backend services that form our core infrastructure—such as authentication, data pipelines, public APIs, and asynchronous job systems. You will also champion our Developer Experience (DevEx) by creating common libraries, building internal tools, and setting engineering best practices. This role requires leading complex technical projects from architecture to deployment, driving improvements in platform scalability and performance, and collaborating closely with other engineering teams, DevOps, and Product to deliver foundational solutions that move the needle.
