Senior Backend Engineer | Python | FastAPI | Postgres | AWS | GCP | Docker | Terraform | Hybrid, New YorkMissionWe aim to help small and mid-sized blue-collar businesses grow and scale. These businesses are often the backbone of society—powering essential services like food supply, transportation, and infrastructure.Historically, these companies have been underserved by the tech ecosystem and have relied on legacy systems. A major challenge in this space is data: large volumes exist, but they are fragmented across multiple systems, difficult to access, and often unstructured. Even when available, teams may lack the time or expertise to fully utilize it. This limits data-driven growth and impacts both business outcomes and workforce development.Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) make it easier to unify and interpret complex data in ways that non-technical users can understand. Our goal is to leverage these technologies to help businesses make better use of their data and unlock growth.We are backed by leading venture investors.The RoleWe are hiring a Backend Developer to join at an early stage and play a key role in scaling the product as the customer base grows.This role is suited to someone who values autonomy, enjoys broad ownership, and wants to help shape technical architecture and engineering culture from the ground up.You will work on building modern software solutions for industries that have traditionally been underserved by technology.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and own end-to-end data pipelines (ingestion, cleaning, transformation)Build and maintain orchestration workflows (e.g., DAG-based systems) for reliable data movementIntegrate with diverse and legacy customer systems (databases, CSVs, SFTP, ERP systems)Develop ETL/ELT pipelines to power analytics and AI systemsEstablish standards for data quality, schema evolution, and observabilityOptimize data schemas, queries, and performance for scalable analyticsBuild APIs and backend services that expose insights from data pipelinesDefine and implement best practices for CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and deploymentYou will collaborate closely with the founding team to build AI-driven systems end-to-end.About YouStrong motivation to build and experiment; side projects are a plus4+ years of experience developing backend systems, ideally in fast-paced environmentsProficiency in Python (primary backend language)Experience designing workflows and working with orchestration toolsComfortable owning problems end-to-end in a dynamic environmentInterest in working with LLM-based systemsNo prior industry experience requiredTechnical SkillsRequired:PythonREST APIsData pipelines (custom or orchestration frameworks)Nice to have:PostgreSQLCloud platforms (GCP or AWS)Modern Python frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Pydantic)Data warehousing tools (e.g., BigQuery)Infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform)Containerization (Docker)CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions)How We WorkCustomer-focused: delivering reliable, high-impact productsFast-paced and execution-drivenFocused on real-world outcomes and measurable impactOpen, collaborative, and feedback-driven cultureStrong ownership mindset across the teamAmbitious in tackling challenging industry problemsSupportive environment aimed at professional growth and fulfillmentSenior Backend Engineer | Python | FastAPI | Postgres | AWS | GCP | Docker | Terraform | Hybrid, New York
