About the role
Medal seeks an experienced backend engineer to design and build scalable, low-latency services powering live in-app communications and media storage. You will collaborate with product, infra, and data teams to craft robust APIs and evolve our backend infrastructure for millions of users. You should bring 5+ years in production-grade backend systems, deep Java skills, and a strong grasp of distributed architectures, cloud platforms, and security best practices.
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.
