The internet doesn’t have to be loud to be meaningful. At Medium, we’re building a space where clarity, authenticity, and curiosity still matter, but that only works if the technology beneath it is as thoughtful as the writing above it. That's why we're hiring a Principal Backend Engineer to own and shape the systems that make that possible: powering reading, writing, and discovery for millions every day. It’s our most senior IC role: deeply hands-on, high-impact, and perfect for someone who finds joy in making complex systems feel simple and helping teams build with clarity, confidence, and care. Join us, and we can build a better internet together. One that rewards ideas, not division. https://lnkd.in/gEghrdGt
