Backend Engineer – Build the Core System (Early Stage)

I'm working with a fast-growing, venture-backed startup that is rebuilding a complex, real-world industry from the ground up using AI and modern backend systems.

They've already hit strong early traction and are now hiring an engineer to help define and build the platform at the center of the business.

What you'll be doing

This role sits right at the core of the company.

You'll be:

Building backend systems that power real-world operations
Designing APIs, services, and data models from scratch
Owning database design and performance (PostgreSQL)
Working with AWS or GCP in a production environment
Shipping quickly and iterating on live systems
Integrating AI-driven workflows into core product logic

You won't be handed tickets.

You'll be expected to figure things out and build.

What they're looking for

Strong backend engineering experience (Python preferred)
Experience shipping production systems end-to-end
Solid understanding of system design and data modeling
Comfortable working across APIs, infrastructure, and data layers
Experience with PostgreSQL and cloud platforms (AWS or GCP)
Someone who takes ownership and moves without waiting

Nice to have:

Exposure to LLMs, RAG pipelines, or AI-driven products
Experience in early-stage or high-growth environments

Why this role stands out

You'll build systems that directly impact the business from day one
Real ownership of architecture and technical decisions
Fast-moving environment with minimal bureaucracy
Strong early traction and backing
Competitive compensation and equity
