The Role
Are you a backend engineer who thrives at the intersection of software development and cloud platform operations? Do you take pride in designing robust systems, automating deployment pipelines, and running scalable infrastructure? Do you use AI tools to supercharge your work?

We're looking for a Backend & Platform Engineer - someone equally comfortable building backend services and maintaining modern, automated, cloud-based platforms. Someone with experience in designing, building, and operating scalable SaaS products with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and containerized environments at the core.

What You'll Do

  • Own the full development lifecycle: from ideation and design to coding, testing, deployment, and operations.
  • Build backend services and APIs using Python and Django.
  • Design, operate, and optimize infrastructure in AWS, using both managed services and cloud-agnostic tools.
  • Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable releases
  • Manage infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) frameworks such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
  • Work with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes, or similar) for deployment and scaling.
  • Monitor and optimize platform performance, scalability, and reliability.
  • Collaborate closely with developers, designers, and product managers to create innovative solutions.
  • Leverage AI tools daily to accelerate development, automate workflows, troubleshoot issues, and learn new skills.

What You Bring

  • Backend Development: Proven experience in backend engineering with Python, ideally Django.
  • Databases: Skilled with both relational and non-relational databases; able to write efficient SQL queries.
  • AWS Expertise: Solid experience designing, deploying, and maintaining solutions in AWS.
  • CI/CD Mastery: Hands-on experience setting up and maintaining modern continuous integration and deployment pipelines.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Proficiency with Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or similar tools.
  • Containers & Orchestration: Strong experience with Docker and/or Kubernetes in production environments.
  • AI Fluency: You integrate AI-assisted coding, infrastructure automation, or other AI-powered tools into your daily workflow.
  • Mindset: Collaborative, curious, and eager to learn.

What We Offer

  • A chance to work at the cutting edge of AI technology – building solutions that define the next generation of software applications
  • A meaningful role where your technical expertise directly impacts business outcomes and customer success
  • A high-performing team with modern development practices, AI-first tooling, and a culture of technical excellence
  • Strong technical foundation – proven architectures, established development workflows, and access to the latest AI technologies
  • An ambitious, innovative culture that values ownership, experimentation, and shared technical wins
  • Opportunities for growth in a fast-scaling company where AI expertise is highly valued and technical leadership is encouraged

What Makes Us Unique

We don't just build software – we create AI-powered solutions that solve real business challenges. We work with:

  • Technology as a strategic advantage – understanding that AI implementation requires both technical excellence and business alignment
  • Rapid iteration and feedback loops – connecting development efforts with measurable business outcomes
  • Long-term technical partnerships – supporting sustainable growth through scalable, maintainable solutions
