Senior Backend Engineer

About the Role

Join the founding engineering team at a Series A AI business intelligence startup building AI-native analytics tools. You will work across the product and codebase to deliver scalable systems for data-intensive analytical workloads.

What You'll Do

• Build and scale data pipelines for latency-critical analytical workloads.

• Contribute across the codebase and product rather than working in a narrow silo.

• Partner with engineering, product, company leadership, and customers to shape the product and engineering roadmap.

• Design secure, cost-efficient, scalable systems on modern cloud infrastructure.

• Help shape the team's engineering culture and technology choices.

What We're Looking For

• At least 4 years of backend engineering experience in product, platform, or infrastructure environments.

• Proficiency in Python and TypeScript, with experience building or supporting large-scale data pipelines.

• A bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, physics, statistics, mathematics, or a related field, with strong technical fundamentals.

• Experience in a startup or other fast-paced environment, and a track record of working on high-performing engineering teams.
