[job_card.job_description]

Were a remote product-focused startup building AI- and algorithm-driven systems and were looking for a strong Backend Django Engineer who loves clean data models well-designed APIs and clever algorithms.

Youll own core backend features end-to-end: from modeling the data to implementing the logic and exposing it through fast reliable services that ship to users quickly working with a small distributed team across several countries.

$100 bonus: After successfully completing a second assessment. To receive the first
assessment please submit your resume to this job application. If your resume is approved youll receive the assessments afterwards.

What Youll Do

  • Design and implement backend services and APIs using Python Django (and DRF or similar).
  • Model and evolve our domain in the database with clean well-structured schemas and relationships.
  • Implement algorithmic/AI logic in the backend (e.g. scoring ranking routing decision rules).
  • Write pragmatic production-ready code thats easy to reason about and iterate on.
  • Optimize for correctness and performance: efficient queries smart indexing and lean responses.
  • Work with the team to turn product ideas into concrete technical designs and endpoints.
  • Help shape how we build things: patterns conventions and how we ship and iterate as we grow.

What Were Looking For

  • Strong experience building backend applications with Python Django.
  • Solid understanding of relational data modeling and SQL (we use PostgreSQL).
  • Comfortable designing and building RESTful APIs (bonus if youve used DRF or similar frameworks).
  • Experience working on non-trivial business logic or algorithms (e.g. decision flows scoring rules optimization logic).
  • Good instincts around performance: understanding query behavior avoiding obvious pitfalls and using caching when it counts.
  • A startup mindset: comfortable with ambiguity moving fast and iterating based on real-world feedback.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment and communicate clearly.

Bonus Points For

  • Experience in startups side projects or hackathons where youve had to ship scrappy solutions fast.
  • Background in algorithms optimization or data-heavy systems.
  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in production.
  • Familiarity with Redis (caching queues) and PostgreSQL at some scale.
  • Exposure to containers and orchestration (Docker Kubernetes) and/or serverless on GCP.

This role is a central piece of our backend roadmap and were aiming to fill it quickly once we meet the right person. If it resonates with you go ahead and apply now.

Send us your resume to start the assessment process (and get a chance at the $100 bonus).
