We’re looking for a skilled Senior Backend Engineer (Contractor) to join Reddit’s International org.
In this role, you’ll focus on migrating a legacy Python service to Go within our GraphQL API services. Experience with GraphQL, including GraphQL Federation and Apollo Router, is a strong plus. You'll use internal tools and processes developed by the GraphQL team to accelerate our migration from Python to Go. We're seeking someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, excels at solving complex problems, and collaborates effortlessly across teams. Responsibilities include:
  • Migrate and refactor existing Python logic into Golang within GraphQL API services.
  • Rapidly learn and adapt to internal tools, systems, and processes to speed up migration.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers across teams to ensure smooth delivery.
  • Debug complex issues quickly and provide clear, actionable solutions.
  • Maintain high-quality, well-tested code with thorough validation.
  • Identify and implement improvements in our migration tooling.
What We’re Looking For:
  • 5+ years of experience in backend development, ideally in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong expertise in Golang and Python.
  • Familiarity with GraphQL APIs, GraphQL Router and Federation are a plus.
  • Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills.
  • Quick learner with the ability to pick up unfamiliar tools or systems quickly.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, able to work effectively in distributed teams.
Additional notes from Client:

The engineer will help migrate GraphQL APIs from one of our existing Python services to a Golang microservice. Strong experience in Python and Golang, plus some familiarity with GraphQL Federation or Apollo router will be a strong plus. Prior experience leading or contributing to a similar migration is a plus, but not required.
