What you will do

• Build event-driven, horizontally scalable backend services that remain reliable and correct during partial system failures.
• Develop real-time surfaces and integrations, including streaming connections, gateways, and CLIs.
• Integrate LLMs and agentic harnesses into production systems.
• Drive features end-to-end from ideation and architecture through deployment, observability, and iteration.
• Improve engineering quality through clean, tested code, thoughtful reviews, and mentorship.

Requirements

• 5+ years shipping and operating production backend systems at scale.
• Strong Python proficiency and ability to write clean, well-tested, maintainable code.
• Deep distributed-systems fundamentals, including correctness and availability under partial failure, backpressure, and load.
• Hands-on experience with event-driven, streaming, or real-time systems such as queues, pub/sub, and long-lived connections.

• Solid API and software-architecture judgment, including the ability to make and defend trade-offs in ambiguous situations.
• High agency, end-to-end ownership, reliability mindset, product focus, AI-native workflow, and excellent written communication for asynchronous work.

Nice to have

• LLM, agentic, or developer-facing product experience, including MCP, RAG, APIs, SDKs, or CLIs.
• Experience with FastAPI, Postgres, Kubernetes, or AWS; prior experience with the entire stack is not required if the technologies can be learned quickly.

• Dynamic work environment with benefits supporting work and personal life.
• Async collaboration and a focus on balancing productivity with self-care.
