Senior Backend Engineer

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to own core infrastructure that powers our platform - from the pipelines that move and process data at scale, to the systems that keep our engineering org shipping fast and reliably. This is a technical leadership role: you'll set architecture direction, raise the bar on engineering practices, and mentor other engineers, while staying deeply hands-on.
You'll operate in an organization that expects AI-native ways of working. Using tools like Claude, Cursor, Hermes or LangGraphor isn't a bonus here - it's the baseline for how we build, and we expect you to help the rest of the team level up on it too.
What Youll be Doing:
Own core backend infrastructure - design and build scalable, reliable Node.js/TypeScript/Python/Go services that other teams and systems depend on.
Build and scale data pipelines - architect the infrastructure that processes and moves large volumes of data reliably, efficiently, and at scale.
Elevate test & validation infrastructure - build the automation, tooling, and CI/CD systems that let engineering ship fast without breaking things, and that make quality and reliability measurable.
Set technical direction - make architecture decisions with company-wide impact, drive design reviews, and establish engineering standards and best practices.
Mentor and multiply - level up other engineers technically, and help shape a fast, high-ownership engineering culture as the team grows.
Lead with AI-native workflows - use AI-assisted development tools daily to move faster without sacrificing architectural quality, and champion their adoption across the team.
