The opportunity

Behind every metrics-driven technology feature is a Backend Developer who sweated the edge cases, and Paramount is hiring more of them. Take ownership, lean on your 4 years of REST API, and earn $133,000 - $189,000 as part of a team that grows with you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Communication-based applications
  • Replace the brittle Terraform hack with a RabbitMQ solution that survives Sunnyvale scale
  • Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence
  • Spike a REST API proof of concept fast when Paramount needs a yes-or-no answer
  • Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Sunnyvale, CA and remote teams
  • Question the quality-obsessed Communication pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
  • Build Nginx dashboards so Paramount's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers

What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated Terraform expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
  • Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
  • Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
  • The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses

Paramount is the builder-led company technology professionals across CA reach for when the cheap option finally breaks. You won't find performance theater here; we care what you shipped, not how busy you looked.

We set the base at $133,000 - $189,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.

We touched the timestamp today; the Backend Developer hunt continues in earnest.
