About the role

Metropolis Technologies in Los Angeles is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join our Advanced Technologies team. You will design, develop, and maintain scalable backend systems that integrate hardware with ML to understand the behavior of objects in the real world. You'll work with a modern stack (AWS, Java, Scala, gRPC, Redis, MySQL, Kubernetes, Kafka) to deliver high-performance services. The role emphasizes real-time data processing, distributed systems, and collaboration across hardware

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.
