Built for teams and organizations looking to collaborate, create, and exceed every day, Wrike brings everyone and all work into a single place to remove complexity, increase productivity, and free people up to focus on their most purposeful work.\nWrike is our people, not a place. As a distributed team, we own our growth, stay globally connected, and rely on the product we build to deliver impactful work alongside brilliant minds. You'll have real ownership over meaningful work, a global team that has your back, and the flexibility to do your best work your way. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.\nOur vision: A world where everyone is free to focus on their most purposeful work, together. \nAbout the Role: \nYou'll help build the very AI-powered platform you use every day, with real autonomy over the features you ship. Wrike’s Backend Reliability (BRE) team is the backbone of our backend infrastructure and the guardian of our uptime. Our mission is to achieve and sustain 99.99% availability while building the tools, components, and safety nets that the entire engineering organization relies on. As a Senior / Staff Backend Engineer on this team, you won’t just close tickets - you’ll architect core reliability solutions that shape how Wrike scales, performs, and recovers from failure.\nYour Impact: \nDesign, build, and maintain critical reliability components such as HTTP rate limiters, internal DB schema migration tools, circuit breakers, and distributed Redis-based caching. \nTroubleshoot complex production issues, optimize PostgreSQL usage, and ensure our distributed systems remain performant and stable under high load. \nLead preliminary investigations during severe production incidents: identify likely root causes, assess impact, and propose mitigation options. The long-term fixes are then implemented by the owning team, based on your findings. \nCreate scalable, reusable tools and frameworks that help other engineering teams build more resilient services. \nLeverage AI-powered tools and coding agents to accelerate development, analyze architectures, and automate repetitive or error-prone tasks. \nInfluence reliability best practices across engineering by sharing knowledge, reviewing designs, and setting high technical standards.\nYour Qualifications: \nStrong expertise with Java/JVM, building scalable, high-performance backend systems; open to leveraging other languages when appropriate. \nSolid understanding of distributed systems concepts, including high availability, CAP theorem, and fault tolerance. \nDeep experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and key-value / non-relational storages (Redis). \nPractical experience with containerization and cloud-native environments, including Docker and Kubernetes. \nHands-on experience with message brokers such as RabbitMQ or Kafka. \nAbility to work independently with minimal supervision, using critical thinking to question assumptions and validate your own decisions. \nStrong written and spoken English skills suitable for collaborating in an international engineering environment.\nStandout Qualities: \nBackground in infrastructure engineering or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), including infrastructure-as-code practices. \nExperience leading technical initiatives, driving cross-team projects, and mentoring other engineers while remaining an individual contributor. \nFamiliarity with observability and monitoring stacks (e.g., Graylog, Zabbix, Grafana) and/or data analytics tools such as BigQuery. \nA strong interest in how complex systems fail and a track record of designing them to recover gracefully.\nTeam Dynamics: \nYou will join the Backend Reliability (BRE) team, a small, highly specialized, senior group focused solely on Wrike’s reliability. The team operates as an internal “reliability task force,” partnering closely with product and platform engineering teams across the company. You’ll collaborate with other senior engineers who value autonomy, deep technical discussions, and rigorous engineering practices. The culture is ownership-driven: you are trusted to manage your time, make architectural decisions, and drive initiatives to completion.\nOur Work Style: \nThe BRE team works on core backend and infrastructure services that support millions of users. We operate in a collaborative environment that values clear communication, thoughtful design, and fast feedback loops. \nTech focus areas include: Java/JVM-based services, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ/Kafka, and observability/monitoring tools. \nWe encourage the use of modern AI-based tooling and coding agents as part of daily development and troubleshooting workflows. \nWork is organized with an emphasis on impact and reliability goals rather than ticket volume, giving you room for deep work and long-term improvements. \nHybrid work mode (Prague, Czech Republic / Nicosia, Cyprus), with flexibility to balance focused individual work and collaborative sessions.\nWhat’s next?\nInterview with a Recruiter\nTechnical interview\nSystem Design Interview\nCultural interview \nYour recruitment buddy will be Aleksandar Chernev, Senior Technical Recruiter.\n#LI-AC1 \nWho Is Wrike and Our Culture\nWe’re a team of innovators and creators who solve the complex work problems of today and tomorrow.\nHybrid work mode\nWrike is our people, not a place. With 1,000+ employees collaborating across nearly every time zone, we support talent through 10 global hubs - Australia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, France, India, Ireland, Japan, and the United States - offering flexible ways of working that include remote work, hybrid environments, and co-working spaces across many locations.\nWhile flexibility looks different across teams and regions, employees located near certain hubs - particularly in Prague (CZ), Nicosia (CY), Bangalore (IN), and Rennes (FR) - are generally expected to collaborate in person around 2-3 days per week, balancing the flexibility of distributed work with opportunities for in-person collaboration and connection.\nOur persona \n Smart: We love what we do, and we’re great at it because this is our domain. Our combined knowledge in this space is unmatched.\n Dedicated: We get up every day focused on helping our customers win. We’re committed to helping our teammates win, too!\n Approachable: We're friendly, easy to get along with, considerate, and helpful. \nOur culture and Values \nCustomer-Focused\nWe care about our customers. We understand the customer journey, experience, and value derived from Wrike. Decision-making and action-taking are done with the customer in mind.\nCollaborative\nWe work as one and win together, each bringing unique strengths that contribute to diversity of thought for better outcomes. Leveraging our own work management platform, we foster an environment of creative collaboration and shared achievement.\nCreative\nWe strive to succeed through continuous innovation. It’s our pursuit of novel concepts that helped us create a market category. We continue to cultivate a workplace that fosters creative thinking as a means of transcending conventional boundaries and empowers us to break new ground to deliver extraordinary work management solutions. \nCommitted\nWe believe in ownership at all levels of the organization, by owning workflows from start to finish. Each member of our team is an integral part of this commitment, establishing work as a platform for personal growth and transformation, as well as collective success and growth.\nCheck out our LinkedIn Life Page, Company culture page, Instagram, Wrike Engineering Team, Medium, Meetup.com, Youtube for a feel for what life is like at Wrike.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7713,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"},{"name":"Japan","iso":"JP","kind":"country"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Australia","iso":"AU","kind":"country"},{"name":"Cyprus","iso":"CY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Czech Republic","iso":"CZ","kind":"country"},{"name":"Ireland","iso":"IE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Costa Rica","iso":"CR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Estonia","iso":"EE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Lithuania","iso":"LT","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Project & Work Management Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-30T05:48:30Z"},{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T12:07:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":38,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.857,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":78,"expected_fill_days":74,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wrike-staff-software-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wrike-staff-software-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T00:47:27Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1379,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":784},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=784"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwrike-staff-software-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwrike-staff-software-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwrike-staff-software-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wrike-staff-software-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwrike-staff-software-engineer-2"}]}
