About the job


Backend Software Engineer


🛠 What You’ll Do

  • Build scalable backend systems for AI-driven workflows
  • Design APIs handling complex, real-world processes
  • Develop real-time systems where performance matters
  • Integrate with external systems and data sources
  • Own the full lifecycle: architecture → build → deploy → optimise


👀 What We’re Looking For

  • Strong backend experience (Python, Node, or Go)
  • Experience with distributed/scalable systems
  • Solid API, data, and system design skills
  • Ownership mindset — not just ticket-driven
  • Interest in AI, automation, or intelligent systems


🌍 The Setup

  • Early-stage, high-ownership environment
  • Builder-focused engineering team
  • Close collaboration with ML + product
  • Real-world impact, not internal tooling


 Why Apply

  • Backend work tied directly to product outcomes
  • Build systems that actively drive decisions
  • High visibility, high impact engineering role
