Tanishq Sharma

I'm a backend engineer with 6+ years of experience building and scaling backend systems, APIs, and distributed services. I've primarily worked with Java, Spring Boot, microservices, databases, messaging systems, and cloud-based infrastructure. I've worked in both fast-paced startup environments and larger engineering teams, where I've taken ownership of projects from understanding requirements and designing solutions through implementation and production support. Two achievements I'm particularly proud of are improving a billing computation system by moving it to a daily-average based approach, which improved billing accuracy by 15% and reduced manual reconciliation effort by 30%, and leading backend/database migration work to move existing portfolios to a new program with minimal disruption to existing users and workflows. I'm now looking for a remote Senior Backend Engineer role where I can take end-to-end ownership of backend systems, solve challenging scalability and distributed-systems problems, and work closely with product and engineering teams. I'm particularly interested in teams where engineers have meaningful ownership and can influence technical decisions rather than being limited to a narrowly defined part of the system.
