Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Backend engineering roles in established SaaS products often sit at the intersection of customer-facing features and platform reliability, and Wrike’s description reflects that blend. The move toward microservices and daily deployment points to a mature delivery cadence where backend work directly supports a subscription product used across company sizes, from smaller teams to enterprise buyers.
For a long-term SaaS career, this kind of environment tends to build durable strengths in service design, API evolution, and operational thinking. Working alongside cross-functional Scrum teams also supports the core SaaS pattern of shipping iteratively, measuring impact, and refining systems without large release cycles. Exposure to internal tooling, CI/CD, and developer experience initiatives can broaden a backend engineer’s scope beyond feature work into platform enablement, which is widely transferable across SaaS organizations.
Because this is framed as a talent pool rather than a single requisition, it best suits senior engineers who prefer optionality and are open to matching with future product or technical teams. It will appeal to professionals who like balancing business logic with architectural improvement, and who are comfortable contributing ideas into planning discussions with product counterparts.

Job Description
More about Wrike Team
At Wrike, everyone’s voice matters - our Scrum teams (with FE, BE, QA, UI, UX, and a PO) are at the heart of decision-making. Backend engineers in product teams handle both business logic and technical challenges, while technical teams ensure smooth internal tooling, CI/CD, and a great developer experience. We invest in our architecture, deploy daily with hardly any merge conflicts, and encourage backend engineers to change things up, work on technical improvements, and help shape product plans by sharing ideas with POs. As we move toward a microservice architecture, product teams enjoy more ownership and flexibility, with support from the technical teams. Our goal is to make clients’ lives easier by building simple, powerful solutions that work for everyone - from startups to large enterprises.
