Job description

What we're looking for:

We need someone with 3–6 years of experience developing backend software who has designed, implemented, and owned production-facing services. You should be comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment and have a track record of building reliable, scalable systems. We're especially excited about high-trajectory engineers earlier in their careers. Bonus points if you have experience with data pipelines, distributed systems, or cloud infrastructure.

What you'll do:

• Design, implement, and own production-facing backend services that power our platform

• Take ownership of backend systems and drive reliability, scalability, and maintainability

• Work closely with product and engineering teams to translate customer requirements into durable platform designs

• Build and integrate with external APIs, relational DB backends, ETL/data pipelines, or distributed systems

• Contribute to cloud infrastructure using AWS, Terraform, and EKS

• Make thoughtful technical tradeoffs and build systems that anticipate evolving needs as the company scales
