I'm currently partnering with a fast-growing early-stage company that's building a next-generation platform designed to help organizations better structure and share their knowledge across teams, partners, and clients. Backed by experienced founders and showing strong early traction with enterprise customers, they're solving a big, meaningful problem—and they're doing it with the latest in AI.

As they scale, they’re looking to bring on a Senior Backend Engineer who will take ownership of the Python-based backend systems that support their core machine learning infrastructure. This is a highly technical, hands-on role working across ML services, developer tooling, and high-scale backend architecture.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead development and operation of the backend services powering ML workflows
  • Own and improve internal tools supporting the ML team and data processing pipelines
  • Be the go-to expert for building resilient, high-quality services in Python
  • Contribute to backend infrastructure that ensures observability, scalability, and performance
  • Collaborate closely with ML engineers and Go backend developers to deliver features quickly and reliably

What They’re Looking For

  • Deep experience building and maintaining production-grade Python services
  • Strong understanding of service architecture and Python best practices
  • Experience scaling web services (e.g. FastAPI, Flask, Django)
  • Background in managing data workflows and ML pipelines (e.g. Airflow, Dagster, Argo)
  • Experience optimizing performance and memory usage in real-world environments
  • Bonus: familiarity with Go, Kubernetes, or observability tools like Datadog

What’s On Offer

  • Join early and help shape both the product and engineering culture
  • Ownership through equity, plus a competitive salary
  • Fully covered healthcare, 401k, and generous PTO
  • Remote flexibility and the ability to work with a sharp, ambitious team
  • Opportunity to build in a space that’s evolving rapidly and has real-world impact

If your passionate about high quality coding, want to stay up to date with the latest tech and AI advances, this is a great oppoirtunity to join an exciting start up that can offer just that! All whilst being surrounded by a close-knit team of experts.
