Back End Developer

About the Company

We are building a new AI-native engineering team that leverages Vibe Coding, a cutting-edge development workflow infused with AI agent pair programming (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor AI, GitHub Copilot, CodeRabbit AI, Claude Desktop).

About the Role

As a Backend Engineer, you’ll work across modern frameworks, scalable Python microservices, and collaborate with architect to co-create intelligent, high-performing digital experiences.

Responsibilities

• Build scalable applications using Python-based backend (FastAPI)
• Develop and maintain microservices with scalable, event-driven architecture
• Work with AI coding agents (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor AI, CodeRabbit AI) to accelerate development, testing, and refactoring workflows
• Integrate robust APIs (REST & GraphQL) and optimize system performance using caching, database indexing, and asynchronous processing (e.g., Celery, RabbitMQ)
• Collaborate with DevOps and cloud teams for containerized deployments using Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS (ECS, EC2, S3, Lambda)
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and continuous improvement processes
• Work closely with data teams to support lightweight ML model integration using tools like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or HuggingFace Transformers

Qualifications

• 5-7 years of strong hands-on software development experience in building large scale distributed applications

Required Skills

• Proficient in Python and frameworks such as FastAPI, Django, or Flask
• Solid understanding of microservices architecture, messaging queues (RabbitMQ/Kafka), and orchestration using Docker/Kubernetes
• Experience with AI development tools and pair programming agents like Claude, Cursor AI, GitHub Copilot, or CodeRabbit AI
• Good knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis)
• Experience working with AWS or other cloud platforms
• Exposure to ML workflows, ETL pipelines, Airflow, model inference, API integrations
• Experience in agile teams and rapid prototyping
• Exposure to AI/ML workflows or building products that integrate AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)

Preferred Skills

• An entrepreneurial / resourceful resource that is capable of working under ambiguity
• Strong communication and collaboration across cross-functional teams
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
• Passion for clean code, automation, and scaling systems
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, AI-first development environment
