Senior Backend Engineer, Messaging & Notifications

Requirements

• 6+ years of backend development experience (Java 17, Kotlin, Spring / Spring Boot)

,

• At least 4+ years of experience building and operating distributed systems in production environments

,

• Strong understanding of event-driven architectures, async processing, and message-based systems

,

• Solid knowledge of high-load SaaS architecture, scalability, and reliability patterns

,

• Some experience with streaming/messaging platforms, notifications or feed-like systems (email, in-app, push, or similar)

,

• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS, and production observability practices

What the job involves

• We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join the Messaging team

,

• The Messaging team owns Miro’s notification platform, ensuring users receive relevant, timely, and trustworthy notifications that help them stay informed and improve their Miro experience

,

• This includes email notifications, in-app notifications, and the underlying systems that power them

,

• Our mission sits at the intersection of product experience and platform reliability

,

• We enable Miro teams to communicate with users at the right moment, across channels, at scale – while avoiding noise, duplication, and overload

,

• By building robust, scalable, and observable messaging system, we help Miro teams drive retention, engagement and clarity for millions of users

,

• We’re looking for a Backend Engineer who will help us evolve and scale Miro’s messaging and notification capabilities

,

• You’ll work on high-throughput, event-driven systems that operate under strict reliability, latency, and correctness requirements

,

• The role requires strong software engineering fundamentals, experience with distributed systems, and a product mindset – understanding that every notification affects user trust

,

• You’ll take ownership of critical services, collaborate closely with Product and Platform teams, and help define stable, extensible interfaces that enable Miro teams to deliver meaningful user notifications safely and efficiently

,

• Design and implement scalable, fault-tolerant backend services for email and in-app notifications

,

• Build and evolve event-driven, asynchronous pipelines that process high volumes of product and user events

,

• Create high-quality technical designs and write clean, maintainable, self-documented production code

,

• Ensure correctness, idempotency, deduplication, and delivery guarantees across notification flows

,

• Optimize performance, latency, and scalability while maintaining reliability under peak load

,

• Take long-term ownership of features and subsystems, including production health and evolution

,

• Collaborate with Product and Platform teams to deliver relevant and timely user notifications
