Desired Candidate Profile
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to take ownership of key parts of the backend platform.
This is a backend-first, platform-focused role. The emphasis is on building the underlying systems that power AI applications rather than working directly on AI models.
You will design, build, and operate scalable services, APIs, event-driven systems, and data infrastructure that support production environments.
At this level, you are expected to go beyond execution owning architecture end-to-end, driving technical decisions, and raising the engineering bar across the team.
- 7+ years experience in backend or platform engineering
- Proven ownership of production-grade distributed systems
- Strong experience with event-driven systems and messaging infrastructure
- Proficiency in Java AND Python, or Go
- Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerised environments
- Strong experience with PostgreSQL at scale
- Solid understanding of distributed systems concepts (consistency, retries, idempotency, etc.)
- Experience implementing observability and reliability best practices
- Strong communication and ability to drive technical decisions
