Backend Engineer

We're looking for a talented Backend Engineer to join our team and take ownership of key components in a growing cloud-native system. This is a perfect fit for someone with ~4 years of experience who wants to do more than just code—someone ready to influence architecture, contribute to tech decisions, and grow into a leadership role over time.

You’ll work closely with our Head of R&D, helping shape features and architecture while delivering robust, scalable backend services. Our platform integrates IoT devices, cloud infrastructure, and real-time event processing, so there’s always something challenging and meaningful to build.

What you’ll do:

• Build and maintain backend microservices using Python (Django/FastAPI)
• Design scalable APIs and data pipelines that interact with IoT devices (IP cameras, sensors)
• Contribute to architectural and infrastructure decisions alongside the R&D lead
• Participate in system design, planning, and task breakdown
• Deploy to and manage services in AWS (EKS, S3, EC2, RDS, etc.)
• Work with Kubernetes, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ
• Troubleshoot production issues and improve performance and reliability
• Collaborate with a small, driven team in a fast-moving environment
• Communicate technical decisions effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Provide mentorship to junior developers and actively assist in managing the team to ensure smooth operations and successful project delivery.

What We’re Looking For:

Experience:

• 3+ years as a backend developer/engineer with a focus on cloud technologies and system integrations.

Technical Skills:

• Strong experience with Python (Django/FastAPI) - must-have.
• Proficiency in Kubernetes and Docker for managing microservices - must-have.
• AWS infrastructure experience, including services like EC2, S3, and RDS - must-have.
• Database expertise with PostgreSQL and Redis.
• Understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP) and technologies.
• Familiarity with version control systems like Git and CI/CD pipelines.

Bonus Points:

• Experience integrating IoT devices like IP cameras and sensors.
• Knowledge of frontend basics (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) or frameworks like Vue.js.
• Exposure to video surveillance technologies or data ingestion pipelines.

Soft Skills:

• Autonomous and proactive—can own features end-to-end
• Strong technical communication skills
• Curious, responsible, and eager to grow
• Comfortable working in a small, fast-paced environment

Languages, Frameworks, and Tech Stack:

• Python (Django/FastAPI)
• Django Rest Framework
• PostgresSQL
• Redis
• RabbitMQ
• Docker
• Kubernetes
• AWS EKS, ECR, EC2, CloudFront, S3, Amazon MQ, RDS, ElastiCache

Why Join Us?

• Get in early on a core team working on impactful cloud + IoT tech
• Be mentored directly by the Head of R&D
• Clear path to grow into a lead role
• Modern stack, exciting tech challenges, and no endless bureaucracy
• Because debugging in production is better with a team that actually cares 😉
