  • We're building a next-generation orchestration and automation platform to support thousands of business processes across the enterprise. This isn't about coding one-off automations - it's about creating the platform, APIs, and orchestration primitives that other developer teams will use to define, run, and scale their business processes.
  • As the Lead Backend Engineer, you'll be hands-on in Kotlin every day, designing platform services, integrating workflow orchestration frameworks, and enabling GenAl-powered intent parsing and decision nodes. You need to understand complexity, tradeoffs and scaling.

  • Implement and optimize workflow orchestration frameworks (e.g., Temporal - preferred, Cadence, Camunda).
  • Provide scalable Alts and abstractions that empower other teams to build workflows on the platform.
  • Integrate GenAI / NLP pipelines for intent parsing, process matching, and intelligent decisioning.
  • Champion developer experience (X) through tooling, CI / CD improvements, and observability.
  • Mentor backend engineers, lead design reviews, and guide technical decisions.
  • Collaborate closely with frontend, product, and process analysts to ensure platform adoption and impact.
  • Qualifications :

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science. Engineering, Data Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of backend engineering experience, with strong Kotlin / JVM expertise.
  • Proven track record building platforms, frameworks, or orchestration services (not just applications).
  • Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration systems (Temporal, Cadence, Camunda, or similar).
  • Excellent knowledge in graph algorithms.
  • Deep knowledge of distributed systems. API design, and event driven architectures.
  • Practical experience integrating GenAI / NLP into backend systems.
  • Experience with RBAC / security models in multi-tenant or enterprise environments.
  • Strong bias for action, ability to thrive in lean teams inside large organizations, and passion for delivering value quality.
  • Natural mentor with excellent communication skills, collaborates across functions and knows when to push back.
  • Compensation / Salary Range : The typical pay range for this role is : USD $80,000 / Yearly - $100,000 / Yearly. Factors that may affect pay within or outside of this range may include but not limited to geography / market, skills, education, experience, and other qualifications of the successful candidate.

    Benefits : Medical, dental, Vision, Life, PTO, Holidays, 401(k) benefits and ancillaries may be available for eligible WCT employees and may vary depending on the nature of your employment.
