Job Description

The Role

You will own the backbone of 8club. From designing scalable APIs to architecting the infrastructure that powers invitations, social feeds, and real-time event data for millions of users — this is the most critical engineering hire we're making.

Why This Role Matters

8club's current stack was built to get to 200K users. The next phase demands fault-tolerant, horizontally scalable systems that can handle viral spikes when a sold-out event hits the platform. You are the person who makes that happen.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build scalable REST and GraphQL APIs serving the core 8club experience (invites, events, social feed, connections)
  • Own database architecture — schema design, query optimisation, and indexing strategies
  • Build reliable, observable systems with proper logging, alerting, and error handling
  • Collaborate closely with the frontend and AI engineers to ship full product features end-to-end
  • Lead code reviews, establish engineering standards, and mentor junior engineers
  • Drive infrastructure decisions: cloud provider choices, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment strategy
  • Ensure the platform stays up during high-traffic moments (event launches, viral moments)

What We're Looking For

  • 4+ years of backend engineering experience with strong fundamentals in system design
  • Production experience with Python (FastAPI), or Go — and strong opinions about why
  • Deep understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred) and caching strategies (Redis)
  • Experience building and scaling APIs consumed by mobile clients at meaningful scale
  • Comfortable with cloud infrastructure — AWS, GCP, or equivalent
  • Strong grasp of authentication, security best practices, and data privacy
  • You have shipped things that real people use and broken things responsibly

Bonus Points

  • Experience with real-time systems (WebSockets, push notifications, live feeds)
  • Prior work at a consumer social or marketplace startup
  • Familiarity with event-driven architecture (Kafka, SQS, or similar)

AI & Tools We Use

  • Claude Code for AI-assisted development
  • Datadog / Sentry for observability
  • Linear for sprint management
