Backend Developer

We're hiring a Backend Developer for the unglamorous, essential work of making Google Cloud fast enough that nobody notices it at all. The appeal is layered — $121,000 - $171,000, a part-time rhythm, technology ownership, and a HP crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Reverse-engineer the data-driven Conflict Resolution format HP inherited and never documented
• Stitch Java events into the REST API pipeline feeding HP's technology reports
• Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within HP
• Keep HP's Elasticsearch dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
• Pair Conflict Resolution and C# in a pipeline HP can extend without your help later
• Question the fast-moving Google Cloud pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Translate Conflict Resolution metrics into the one chart HP leadership checks each morning
• Negotiate Emotional Intelligence tradeoffs with product when HP timelines and reality collide

What You'll Bring

• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
• Hands-on proficiency with C#, ideally paired with Accountability
• At least 5 years of standing behind your own estimates
• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
• Cross-functional ease, from Java engineers to Conflict Resolution marketers
• The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve

HP exists to solve hard technology problems with a deeply technical approach and a Bellevue, WA-rooted culture. We believe great Kafka work comes from people who feel safe to experiment and occasionally fail.

The offer includes $121,000 - $171,000, remote flexibility, retirement matching, and coaching tailored to your mid-level goals.

We are growing the HP team in WA and adding this position immediately.
