We are looking for engineers to design, build, and maintain a large-scale, distributed backend for LINE Messaging while focusing on distributed databases engineering under high volume of data and traffic.
This role involves developing high-performance data-intensive backend services, optimizing distributed databases usage, and ensuring system reliability.
LINE Messaging deals with tens of billions of messages exchanged everyday. This is possible thanks to the usage of thousands of servers running distributed storages such as Redis or Apache HBase.
Due to the large scale of services we handle, we face unique, challenging and interesting problems that no one else in the world has encountered yet.
We are seeking for engineers who would like to solve these kind of challenging problems while collaborating with other backend engineers and SRE, to help develop new features and enhance data consistency, scalability, and fault tolerance across our Messaging Platform.
