Location: Tel Aviv/Ra'anana

DriveNets is a leader in cloud-native networking software for Hyperscalers and service providers who are building the largest infrastructures in the world for network services and AI platforms. Founded in December 2015, DriveNets disrupted some of the most challenging high-scale markets, transforming the way Networks are built, scaled, and consumed. We also built the largest network in the world, with more than half of AT&T’s backbone running on DriveNets’ Network Cloud. DriveNets has raised $587 million in three funding rounds which enable us to dream big and bring on the most talented people.

**The Role

**We are establishing a new backend group that will take full ownership of a core application area.

We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer who will lead the backend effort end-to-end — from initial architecture and technology choices, through implementation and scaling, and into long-term ownership and evolution.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will design, build, and own production systems, work closely with multiple teams, influence product direction, and set the technical bar for the group.

We embrace an agile mindset – you should be comfortable with context switching, handling multiple priorities, and adapting quickly to changing requirements.

Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of the backend architecture for a major application area
• Design and implement scalable, reliable, and maintainable backend systems
• Lead technical design and decision-making, including technology and architecture choices
• Work closely with product, frontend, platform, and other backend teams
• Participate in product vision discussions, brainstorming, and planning sessions
• Translate product requirements into robust technical solutions
• Write high-quality, production-grade code
• Drive debugging and root-cause analysis of complex production issues
• Ensure best practices in performance, reliability, security, and observability
• Mentor and technically guide other backend engineers as the group grows

Requirements

• 7+ years of backend development experience
• 2+ years of hands-on NodeJs experience — or strong motivation to learn and use it in production- big advantage.
• Experience with distributed, high-scale systems.
• Proven experience designing and building high-scale, production systems
• Deep understanding of backend architecture, distributed systems, and APIs
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, including complex system behavior and production troubleshooting at scale
• Experience working with databases (relational and/or NoSQL), including schema design and performance considerations
• Solid knowledge of modern backend technologies and frameworks
• Experience collaborating across teams in a large or multi-team environment
• Strong communication skills and the ability to lead through influence

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with containerization tools (Docker/Kubernetes)
• Exposure to caching systems (e.g., Redis) or event-driven architectures
• Prior experience leading a technical area or subsystem
• Experience with Cursor

**Education And/or Relevant Experience

**BSc in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field; or equivalent hands-on experience in software development
