About this role

Tailor develops Tailor Platform, a development platform that cuts the build time of business systems used by large companies to a tenth. The Backend Engineer in the Global Engineering department works on the platform layer or on the BFF (Backend for Frontend) layer of individual applications. BFFs must be launched quickly for each customer, so the team builds agile frameworks using code generation and templates. The tech lead acts as a playing manager.

Duties are designing and developing microservice applications in Go, designing interfaces for the BFF layer and between microservices (Protobuf and gRPC, GraphQL), and implementing directory services, proprietary databases and gateways needed for ERP systems. The environment includes MongoDB, Cloud Pub/Sub, Okta, Terraform, TypeScript, Go and CUE.

Applicants need experience designing and developing web applications in Go or similar, interface design for BFF and microservices, application design and development to requirements with performance tuning, experience developing standard or open-source products, and experience leading a team as a tech lead or as a specialist contributor. Remote work is possible. Written and spoken Japanese is needed; English requirements depend on the role and are not a knockout factor.
