  • Shape and implement key pieces of our domain model and service boundaries
  • Own integrations between internal systems and external platforms via gRPC and REST
  • Contribute to system architecture alongside the Tech Lead and CTO
  • Work with Postgres and event-driven pipelines, designing schemas and migrations as code
  • Help lay the groundwork for developer tooling, observability, and automated testing
  • Write code that’s clean, testable, and built for humans — not just machines

Requirements

  • 6–8 years of professional experience building production backend systems
  • Strong Python fundamentals, with real-world async or service-layer experience
  • Solid understanding of relational data models, schema design, and SQL optimization
  • Experience designing and consuming APIs — especially gRPC or service mesh patterns
  • Familiarity with software architecture principles, even if you're not “the architect”
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity, collaborating with other senior engineers, and shipping code that matters
  • Confident English skills to collaborate clearly and effectively with teammates

  • async-friendly culture
  • engineering-led environment
