Backend is one of the most strategic functions in the business right now, small, senior, flat team, real ownership, direct line from what you build to what thousands of customers run on.
Responsibilities:
- Own the core API layer the platform and customers run on, and the event driven pipelines that execute policy across thousands of cloud accounts
- Design and evolve the data stores behind the platform, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, and Alembic
- Build systems that reason about failure, retries, idempotency, and eventual consistency at real production scale
- Propose and compare architectural approaches, and bring the team along on the decision
- 5+ years of production backend experience in Python
- 3+ years leading initiatives and mentoring other engineers
- Hands-on experience with AWS and serverless building blocks (Lambda, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, DynamoDB, ECS)
- Experience with infrastructure as code and CI/CD (Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions)
- A real testing habit, pytest, moto, and containerized functional testing
- Computer Science background or equivalent preferred
What's in it for you:
- 100% remote, working for a well funded, high growth company at real commercial scale
- Direct ownership over the API and pipeline architecture powering the platform
- Equity compensation, excellent health benefits, and a generous time off policy
- A talented, experienced, low process team solving genuinely deep technical problems
