Senior Software Engineer - Platform

As a Senior Software Engineer, Platform, you'll build the technical foundation that enables every engineering team at Choco to build, ship, and operate software reliably at scale. You'll help improve the backend architecture, infrastructure, and developer tooling that keeps systems scalable, reliable, and maintainable while making engineers across the company more productive.

What you'll do

• Design and build scalable backend systems, platform capabilities, and shared services used across Engineering.
• Improve developer experience through reusable tooling, frameworks, APIs, and automation.
• Operate and continuously improve distributed production systems with reliability, observability, and maintainability in mind.
• Partner closely with Product Engineering teams to solve complex technical problems and remove platform bottlenecks.
• Drive technical initiatives from architecture through implementation, rollout, and operational adoption.
• Make pragmatic engineering decisions that balance long-term quality with business priorities.
• Help prepare Choco's platform for the next stage of enterprise-scale growth.

What you'll need

• Significant experience building and operating backend systems at meaningful production scale.
• Strong experience with distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures, scalable APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
• A track record of owning complex technical problems from discovery through implementation and production operation.
• Sound engineering judgement—you know when to improve existing systems, when to simplify, and when not to redesign.

Nice to have

• Experience with TypeScript is a plus. We're equally excited to meet exceptional engineers from Go, Java, Kotlin, or similar ecosystems who are motivated to work in TypeScript.

What they offer

• Competitive compensation, health and wellbeing support, and long-term benefits like a sabbatical (all localized by office).
• Real ownership and equity.
• Work on digitalizing core operating systems for food distributors in a system that still largely runs on calls and spreadsheets.
