Whether you are junior or senior doesn’t matter and what matters is your ability to move faster and think deeper than the average engineer. We operate with extreme ownership. Problems don’t belong to teams or tickets where they belong to whoever sees them. The right person for this role doesn’t walk past a broken system. If something is failing, you fix it even if it’s not “your job.”\nWhat You Will Work On\nMicroservices & Distributed Architecture\n Design and operate high-throughput, event-driven pipelines across a 100+ microservice ecosystem handling billions of data points \n Build and scale distributed messaging systems with RabbitMQ, backpressure management, consumer scaling, and queue health \n Develop and maintain API gateway layers with advanced routing (multi-upstream, traffic splitting, environment isolation) \n Architect SSO and identity federation for enterprise clients, supporting multi-IdP routing with zero coupling to core services \n Define clean service boundaries across ingestion, processing, and delivery pipelines spanning Ruby and Python \nPerformance & Systems\n Diagnose and resolve complex production issues (e.g., deadlocks, queue exhaustion, connection pool saturation) - and eliminate root causes \n Optimize PostgreSQL for heavy write workloads, contention management, schema design, triggers, and connection scaling \n Design and tune Elasticsearch for search, indexing, and real-time Arabic relevance at scale \n Make informed trade-offs between multi-process and async architectures based on workload characteristics \nObservability & Reliability\n Build and maintain observability across a large-scale system using Grafana, Loki, distributed tracing, and SLOs \n Own production incidents end-to-end, tracing failures across queues, search systems, and external integrations \n Lead root cause analysis and implement preventative measures across multi-service pipelines \n Build internal tooling that improves engineering velocity, automation, deployment gating, and review enforcement \n Turn architectural principles into enforceable standards and guardrails, not just documentation \nPlatform Evolution\n Drive platform decoupling and service isolation across the system \n Contribute to Kubernetes migration and infrastructure modernization \n Standardize and improve CI/CD pipelines across services\nStack\nRuby on Rails · Python · PostgreSQL · Elasticsearch · Redis · RabbitMQ · Kubernetes · AWS / GCP · APISIX · Grafana + Loki\nWhat We Are Looking For\nStrong foundation in distributed systems. You understand failure modes before you write the first line\nHands-on experience with event-driven architecture and message queues in production\nDeep comfort with concurrency, backpressure, and fault tolerance\nTrack record debugging complex production issues - not just fixing them, preventing them\nExperience with Rails or Python backends at meaningful scale\nYou improve systems you weren’t asked to touch\nThis Role is a Strong Fit If You…\nRead and understand an existing codebase by week one\nSee a broken system and fix it before anyone asks you to\nHave strong opinions about architecture and can back them up with data\nThink in systems: latency, throughput, failure modes, and cost at scale\nTreat documentation, tests, and observability as non-negotiable defaults and not afterthoughts\nShip fast and without breaking things. Speed and quality are not a trade-off for you\nConsistently exceed expectations where meeting the bar is a floor, not a target\nAre hungry for hard challenges and actively seek problems at the edge of your limits\nFeel a sense of urgency that doesn’t require external pressure\nHave rebuilt or stabilised something significant and can talk about it concretely\nWhy Lucidya\nReal scale with billions of events and not just toy systems\nDirect impact at CTO and executive level\nPre-IPO with clear trajectory and your work has real impact on clients","description_format":"text","description_chars":4380,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Saudi Arabia","iso":"SA","kind":"country"},{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"},{"name":"Egypt","iso":"EG","kind":"country"},{"name":"Turkey","iso":"TR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Jordan","iso":"JO","kind":"country"},{"name":"Portugal","iso":"PT","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Social Media Marketing","Conversational AI","Contact Center Software","Social Media Analytics & Listening"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-04-12T00:00:00Z"}],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.22,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":167,"expected_fill_days":25,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-29T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lucidya-10x-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lucidya-10x-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-30T05:11:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3572,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1428,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}}
