Company

Early-stage (seed) company building a technically ambitious core product in a true zero-to-one environment.

What you will do

• Own backend systems from design, build, deployment, to operation
• Build Python services that form the core of the product
• Tackle non-trivial technical problems across performance, reliability, and data
• Work closely with founders and product to shape what gets built
• Continuously iterate on systems in a fast-moving environment

Requirements

• Strong backend engineers with solid Python experience
• Evidence of building and owning production systems (even small-scale)
• Ability to solve problems independently without heavy structure
• High rate of learning and adaptability
• Engineers who want to build, not just contribute

Culture & Benefits

• Zero-to-one: building foundational systems, not iterating on mature infra
• High ownership: small team, real responsibility from day one
• Technical depth: problems beyond simple CRUD or surface-level work
• Fast pace: quick decisions and immediate impact
• Strong growth curve: steep learning environment with high expectations
