About HyperFi
We're building the kind of platform we always wanted to use : fast, flexible, and built for making sense of real-world complexity. Behind the scenes is a robust, event-driven architecture that connects systems, abstracts messy workflows, and leaves room for smart automation. The surface is clean and simple. The interactions are seamless and intuitive. The machinery underneath is anything but. That’s where you come in.
We’re a well-networked founding team with strong execution roots and a clear roadmap. We’re backed, focused, and delivering fast.
We're looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer to join early. Someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, knows how to balance velocity with sound engineering, and wants to build foundational systems that scale. You’ll work closely with the Tech Lead and CTO, contributing directly to architecture, implementation, and internal tooling — and have real influence over how this thing takes shape.
💥 What You’ll Do
- Build and extend core backend services in Python — everything from APIs and MCPs, to event handlers
- Shape and implement key pieces of our domain model and service boundaries
- Own integrations between internal systems and external platforms via gRPC and REST
- Contribute to system architecture alongside the Tech Lead and CTO
- Work with Postgres and event-driven pipelines, designing schemas and migrations as code
- Help lay the groundwork for developer tooling, observability, and automated testing
- Write code that’s clean, testable, and built for humans — not just machines
🧰 Tech Stack (So Far)
You'll help evolve this stack — we care about getting it right, not being dogmatic.
💻 How We Build
chaos : fixed cycles & cooldowns protect focus and keep context switching low
