About the role
Archer in San Jose is seeking a Senior Staff Backend Engineer to power the Platform Core team. You will build services that drive the Entity Registry, change tracking, and connectors, with a focus on Go and PostgreSQL, delivering durable infrastructure for application teams. You will design typed APIs, implement event patterns, optimize queries, and collaborate across platforms to ensure production readiness and scalable, observable systems that support AI-assisted workflows.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
