  • Collaborate across engineering and product teams to improve scalability and performance
  • Contribute to a modern backend architecture that spans multi-cloud environments

What They're Looking For

  • Proven years of backend/software engineering experience in high growth startups
  • Strong Python skills, with proven experience in data engineering and cloud-native backend systems
  • Deep expertise with AWS, Terraform, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD, data transformation, and API development
  • A problem-solver who thrives in fast-moving environments and writes maintainable, secure code

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to machine learning, particularly around model deployment or data preparation
  • Experience with GCP and multi-cloud systems
  • Previous startup or early-stage company experience
  • AWS technical certifications

Why Join

  • High-impact opportunity at a startup tackling real business pain points with modern cloud and AI tech
  • Equity in a fast-scaling company backed by top-tier investors
  • Strong engineering culture with a focus on ownership, speed, and high standards
  • Great work-life balance: hybrid in NYC, generous PTO, paid parental leave, and more
