Back End Developer

About Us

The Role

What You’ll Be Doing

• Take a vague product problem, sharpen it into a clear scope, and ship it — without waiting to be told exactly what to build.
• Design and build the backend: APIs, data models, services, integrations. This is your deep craft.
• Build the frontend for the features you own, using AI assistance for scaffolding and framework-specific patterns.
• Write the tests at every layer — unit, integration, end-to-end — and use AI to expand coverage rather than skip it.
• Define the observability plan before you ship: logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and the product metric that proves the feature worked.
• Own the rollout: feature flags, gradual ramp, rollback plan, communication to stakeholders.
• Be the first person paged when your feature misbehaves, and close the loop on incidents.
• Read the metric after launch, talk to users when needed, and decide what to change next.

AI-Native Engineering

Experience

• with tools such as:
• ChatGPT
• Claude
• Claude Code
• Gemini
• AI coding agents and developer tooling
• We are especially interested in people who naturally look for ways to:
• Automate workflows,
• Reduce operational overhead,
• Improve engineering velocity,
• Leverage AI as part of their daily workflow.

Our Ideal Candidate Has

• **4+ years of backend engineering experience**
• with a strong track record of shipping production services in a mainstream language (e.g.
• Go, Python, Java, Kotlin, TypeScript, Rust, C#).
• **Solid grasp of API design, data modeling, and distributed systems fundamentals**
• — concurrency, failure modes, idempotency, backward compatibility.
• **Comfort writing frontend code**
• in at least one modern framework (React, Vue, Svelte, or similar).
• You do not need to be a senior frontend engineer — you need to be willing to own UI work end to end with AI assistance.
• **Demonstrated AI-assisted development fluency.**
• You use AI tools daily, know where they help and where they mislead, and can show concrete examples of work they accelerated.
• **Production ownership mindset.**
• You have built and operated services, written observability that you actually relied on during incidents, and treated post-launch as part of the work.
• **Product instinct.**
• You can read a spec critically, push back when it's wrong, and shape scope based on user and business goals — not just implement what's handed to you.
• **Strong written and verbal communication.**
• You write design docs, leave clear PRs, and explain trade-offs without hand-waving.

Must Have

• Python 3
• Django

• Django REST Framework

• PostgreSQL
• Docker
• AWS

• Kubernetes / AWS EKS

• Pytest
• RabbitMQ
• Nice to Have
• Selenium or browser automation experience
• React + TypeScript basics
• HTML/CSS/JavaScript
• Experience with AI-assisted development workflows
• Experience working in SaaS or high-growth startups

What We Offer

• Part-time B2B contractor agreement (up to 20h/week).
• Fully remote setup.
• Flexible working hours.
• High ownership and autonomy.
• Opportunity to work directly on impactful technical challenges in a fast-growing international SaaS company.
• Fast execution environment with minimal bureaucracy.
• A highly AI-oriented engineering culture focused on efficiency and automation.
• This role is not for you if…
• You strongly prefer to stay inside a single layer of the stack.
• You see AI tooling as a fad or refuse to integrate it into your workflow.
• You expect to hand off the frontend, the tests, or the rollout to someone else.
• You want to ship and walk away — production stability and post-launch monitoring are part of the job.
• You want a pure individual-contributor coding role with no product thinking attached.
