Backend Engineer

We Are:

On a mission to ensure businesses never fail due to a third-party incident.

A stealth startup backed by tier 1 VCs, already working with paying customers, and aiming to triple our team size in the next two years.

Driven by transparency - we give top talent the full context to own their work.

We value spontaneous discussions over formal meetings and believe working together in the same room is the fastest (and most fun) way to solve complex challenge

Disrupt a market that’s been stagnant for years - and shape it with a solution the industry has never seen before.

We move fast, building on a modern, scalable stack designed for high-performance data processing and ML/LLM operations - Golang, Huggingface, LangSmith, gRPC, ConnectRPC, Bufstream (Kafka-like, streaming platform), Redis, Kubernetes, Terraform, and ArgoCD. We heavily invest in DevEx with tools like Cursor and Okteto (read our case-study here: https://www.okteto.com/customers/lema-ai/) to ensure engineers can focus on delivering value.
