About this role
LINE Yahoo is hiring a Messaging Backend Engineer who specializes in distributed systems for the LINE Platform. The role sits in the Messaging Platform team, which runs backend services handling tens of billions of messages a day, and concentrates on storage and data infrastructure.
The engineer builds server-side features and data structures for large-scale storage and optimizes the use of distributed databases such as Redis, Apache HBase and next-generation systems like YugabyteDB. Work with SRE and other backend teams aims to improve consistency, reliability, scalability and observability, and the engineer contributes to long-term designs such as multi-datacenter active-active architectures and NewSQL integration. On-call duty may apply.
Applicants need solid computer science fundamentals, three or more years of server-side development, team development experience, a strong interest in distributed storage middleware, written English for technical communication and daily conversation in English or Japanese. Prior experience with HBase, Redis or YugabyteDB is not required; it is preferred, along with SRE practice and Docker and Kubernetes.
