Staff Software Engineer at Wrike

This role is designed for a senior-level engineer with a deep fascination for system internals and high-scale reliability. You are an ideal candidate if you have mastered the Java/JVM ecosystem and possess a strong architectural background in distributed systems, specifically focusing on how complex infrastructures fail and recover. The "Backend Reliability" (BRE) team operates as an internal task force rather than a standard product squad. You will focus on high-impact initiatives like building rate limiters, circuit breakers, and optimizing PostgreSQL and Redis at scale. Wrike offers a robust European benefits package, including 5 weeks of vacation, hybrid flexibility in Prague, and a culture that encourages the use of AI-powered development tools to automate repetitive tasks. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have extensive experience with Java and managing high-load PostgreSQL/Redis environments. * Prefer "deep work" on core infrastructure and reliability tooling over high-volume feature ticket cycles. * Are comfortable leading incident investigations and setting technical standards for other engineering teams. * Enjoy working in a containerized environment using Kubernetes, Docker, and Kafka/RabbitMQ.
