Cloud Backend Engineer (Azure) — AI-Assisted Development (Claude Code + Copilot)
XOGO is entering a new phase of growth, and we're expanding our cloud engineering team with someone who loves solving complex problems in Azure and building clean, scalable backends.
This role joins a strong, experienced team and will collaborate closely with senior engineers in the US, India, Ecuador, and Mexico. It's a hands-on position with room to contribute architectural guidance as we continue to scale — and we build fast using AI-assisted development (Claude Code as the primary driver, GitHub Copilot as a helper), with you owning the final quality through strong code review and refactoring.
What You'll Do- Collaborate with senior engineers to refine and optimize our Azure SQL architecture (performance, maturity, and cost control).
- Strengthen and modernize our Azure App Services and PaaS-first environment.
- Improve performance and design clarity in our internal APIs, and contribute to future external developer APIs.
- Enhance our SignalR real-time infrastructure powering thousands of devices.
- Use Claude Code + Copilot to accelerate delivery, then review, harden, and refactor AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability.
- Contribute to AI/ML integrations (Azure + Foundry).
- Support multi-region planning and EU data residency readiness (GDPR / EU Data Act considerations).
- Bring DevOps awareness to CI/CD, observability, reliability, and cost optimization.
- Work with our Stripe subscription backend as we upgrade billing architecture (monthly/yearly plans, in-app purchases, and more flexible payment flows).
Who You Are- Strong experience with Azure architecture, SQL tuning, API optimization, and distributed PaaS design.
- A strong hands-on coder and code reviewer — you can guide AI output and quickly spot issues (edge cases, security pitfalls, performance traps, architecture drift) and turn it into production-quality code.
- Comfortable partnering with other senior engineers — you collaborate, share ideas, and elevate the whole team.
- You think in terms of efficiency before scale and enjoy simplifying complex cloud systems.
- You've refactored or shaped cloud platforms before in a SaaS or IoT-like environment.
- Bonus: experience with or strong interest in Stripe subscriptions (Prices, Subscriptions, Customers, webhooks).
- Familiar with designing for regional data residency and compliance expectations.
Why Join Us- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with a capable engineering team building a global digital signage platform.
- Help shape the next evolution of XOGO's cloud — with room to lead initiatives without owning everything.
- Fully remote to start; India candidates will transition to hybrid in our upcoming Kochi office.
- Fast-moving environment with real impact and direct collaboration with US leadership.
If you enjoy building smart, efficient cloud backends and want to help scale a real-world platform with a strong team (and modern AI-assisted workflows), we'd love to talk.
