Job Description
We're a fast-growing product company building an AI-powered platform used by thousands of teams every day. We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own critical services end-to-end — from design to production — and help us scale to the next order of magnitude. You'll join a small, senior team where your decisions have real impact.
Tasks
- Design, build and operate scalable backend services (Python / FastAPI) and REST APIs.
- Model and optimize PostgreSQL schemas; write efficient async queries.
- Own services end-to-end: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment and monitoring.
- Integrate third-party APIs and internal microservices behind a gateway.
- Improve reliability, performance and security under high concurrency.
- Collaborate with product and frontend to ship features that matter.
- Mentor mid-level engineers and raise the bar on code quality.
Requirements
- 5+ years building production backend systems in Python.
- Strong experience with FastAPI (or Flask/Django) and async programming.
- Solid PostgreSQL skills: schema design, indexing, query optimization.
- Experience designing and scaling REST APIs and microservices.
- Comfortable with Docker, CI/CD and cloud (AWS preferred).
- Good understanding of auth (JWT/OAuth), caching and message queues.
- Clear written and spoken English; pragmatic, ownership mindset.
Nice to have: Kubernetes, SQLAlchemy, observability (Prometheus/Grafana), LLM/AI integrations
Benefits
- Competitive salary + equity.
- Remote-friendly with flexible hours.
- Top-tier hardware and a yearly learning budget.
- 30 days paid vacation.
- Small senior team, real ownership, fast decisions.
Skills: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS, REST APIs, Microservices, SQLAlchemy, CI/CD, Redis
If you like owning hard problems and shipping reliable systems at scale, we'd love to talk. The process is quick: a short AI video interview, then a technical conversation with the team. Apply today.
