Back-End Software Engineer, Event-Driven Integration Nearshore
Remote, Mexico | 6-Month Project

About the Opportunity

Our client is a large food distribution and manufacturing company in the middle of a full technology transformation. A newly built engineering organization is replacing a tangle of point-to-point system connections with a modern, centralized event-driven integration platform. Phase one supports a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) rollout that directly affects production floor efficiency and visibility.

The architecture, platform foundation, and CI/CD automation are already in place. We're looking for two strong, hands-on back-end engineers to build out the publishers and subscribers that connect legacy and new systems. You'll be a full member of the team: daily stand-ups, sprint work, and the same delivery process as the US-based engineers.

What You'll Do

- Build event publishers and subscribers that connect business systems through a pub/sub platform (Redpanda/Kafka)
- Implement reliable integrations, handling retries, idempotency, ordering, and failure scenarios
- Build and contribute to MCP servers that support the team's AI-assisted development workflow
- Use AI coding tools throughout the SDLC (planning, development, code review, and testing)



and review AI output with the same rigor as any other code
- Collaborate daily with US-based engineers and a nearshore pod, communicate progress clearly, and deliver sprint commitments

What You Bring

- Strong hands-on back-end development skills. This is an individual contributor coding role, not an architecture role.
- Experience in two or more programming languages, and the ability to ramp up quickly in a new one (C#, Go, Rust, or similar)
- Experience building event-driven integrations with pub/sub systems such as Kafka or Redpanda, especially writing publishers and subscribers
- AI-assisted development as part of your everyday workflow: tools like Claude Code, skills, MCPs, and structured plan/build processes. Personal use counts. We care that you stay current and use AI responsibly.
- Professional English communication: comfortable in stand-ups, explaining your work, and sharing ideas
- Self-directed execution and strong remote collaboration

Nice to Have

- Hands-on experience building or configuring MCP servers
- Experience with manufacturing, warehouse, ERP, or supply chain systems

Years of experience and degrees are not requirements. Skills, execution, and communication are what matter.

- Remote from home
