Full Job Description

Reimagine commerce at the edge—where distributed systems meet the real world

At Voyix, we are building a next-generation retail platform that operates at the edge, inside thousands of stores, where latency, resilience, and real-world constraints redefine traditional cloud design.

Our platform is composed of distributed microservices orchestrated via Kubernetes, running in constrained, high-uptime environments and integrating seamlessly with global commerce ecosystems. This is not typical backend work—this is systems engineering at scale in unpredictable environments.

We’re looking for engineers who think in systems, obsess over reliability, and take end-to-end ownership of complex, high-impact software.

What You’ll Work On

  • Architect and build distributed systems that run reliably in-store across heterogeneous environments
  • Design fault-tolerant microservices that handle intermittent connectivity, data consistency, and edge synchronization
  • Own services end-to-end: design → implementation → production → observability → iteration
  • Build and operate systems deployed via Kubernetes at the edge
  • Define and evolve service contracts (Protobuf/gRPC) and integration layers with third-party systems
  • Drive engineering excellence through code reviews, design reviews, and operational rigor
  • Improve system performance, scalability, and resilience under real-world constraints
  • Debug and resolve complex, cross-layer issues spanning hardware, networking, and distributed services
  • Mentor engineers and influence technical direction and best practices

What You Bring

Minimum Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience building production-grade distributed systems
  • Strong fundamentals in systems design, concurrency, and data consistency models
  • Proven experience designing and operating microservices architectures
  • Proficiency in at least one systems/backend language:
    • Go (preferred), or similar (Java, C++, Rust)
  • Experience with modern API and data interchange paradigms:
    • gRPC / REST / Protobuf
  • Strong understanding of databases (NoSQL and/or distributed data systems)
  • Demonstrated ability to own problems end-to-end and operate independently
  • Experience debugging complex issues across multiple system boundaries
  • Clear, concise communicator able to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience running workloads in:
    • Kubernetes (including edge or hybrid environments)
    • Docker / containerized systems
  • Experience with event-driven architectures and eventual consistency
  • Familiarity with:
    • CouchDB or similar distributed/replicated data stores
    • Observability tooling (metrics, logging, tracing)
  • Experience with developer productivity tooling:
    • GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, SonarQube, Playwright
  • Experience with AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., GitHub Copilot)
  • Background in retail systems (POS, inventory, pricing, tax) or other high-transaction domains
  • Experience in high-availability, offline-capable systems

What Sets This Role Apart

Operate Where Cloud Assumptions Break

Most distributed systems assume stable infrastructure. Ours don’t. You’ll design for:

  • Intermittent connectivity
  • Local-first processing
  • Edge synchronization
  • Real-time customer interaction

Real Ownership

You are not a ticket-taker. You:

  • Define the problem
  • Design the solution
  • Ship to production
  • Own outcomes

High Technical Bar

We value:

  • Thoughtful system design over quick fixes
  • Deep debugging skills over surface-level fixes
  • Engineers who challenge assumptions and raise the bar
