About the role

Senior backend engineer focusing on Python/FastAPI, building scalable APIs and distributed systems, with ownership of complex backend systems and collaboration across product, frontend, and design.

Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of complex backend systems end-to-end - from scoping and architecture to high-quality, reliable delivery
  • Design and build robust, scalable APIs and distributed systems that power our products and deliver exceptional performance
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Frontend, and Design teams to translate product ideas into well-architected backend solutions
  • Push the boundaries of what’s possible with modern backend technologies, driving innovation in both architecture and developer experience
  • Contribute to evolving our backend architecture, infrastructure, and developer tooling to support rapid iteration at scale
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve system performance, reliability, and developer experience - and drive those initiatives through to execution

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, ideally in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments
  • Deep expertise in Python and FastAPI, with a proven track record of building and scaling production systems
  • Experience designing and implementing APIs (REST, GraphQL, or gRPC) that power user-facing products
  • Strong experience working with SQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL), including schema design, query optimization, and data modeling for production systems
  • Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, ideally on GCP (e.g. Cloud Functions, Cloud Tasks, Firestore)
  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code
  • Familiarity with Vertex AI and ML specific infrastructure
  • Strong communication skills and a high sense of ownership - able to operate with autonomy while staying aligned with team goals
  • Some markers of excellence, which could also be non-work related, like having a high FIDE rating
  • Most importantly: we care deeply about working with genuinely kind, collaborative, and hard-working people who make the team better through empathy and openness
