Things we’ve built so far:

  1. A global, enterprise-scale serverless platform on AWS, deployable on demand.
  2. A suite of LLM-powered applications, employing thoughtful queuing and load balancing in order to manage LLM capacity at scale.
  3. An API-first development culture, with a backend serving a growing number of frontend clients.

  • Lead the design and development of core platform features using Python and an API-first approach
  • Build scalable, reliable backend services that power our applications, integrating seamlessly with a modern cloud-based architecture
  • Collaborate with design and product teams to ensure that what we’re building is scalable, maintainable, and secure
  • Contribute to infrastructure and deployment workflows in our AWS serverless environment (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB)
  • Independently lead proof-of-concept projects and tackle complex architectural and engineering challenges
  • Leverage AI-assisted tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support day-to-day activities

  • Required Qualifications
  • At least 8 years of professional experience as a software engineer
  • Strong experience building backend services and APIs using Python in a product-focused environment
  • Proficiency in using relevant AI tools in the SDLC (Cursor, Codex, Claude Code)
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code, observability tools, and cloud-native best practices
  • Self-motivated and accountable, with a strong sense of ownership over the systems you build
