We're hiring a Backend Engineer to join one of our product teams. This is a hands-on backend role for someone early in their career who's already shipping code professionally and wants to grow into a Backend Engineer — fast. You'll be supported by experienced engineers and a strong team culture, but we'll expect you to own your work, ask good questions, and actively drive your own development. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit at this level for years. We want someone with their eye on what's next.
What you will be doing
- Building, testing, and shipping backend services that power products used by our customers every day
- Writing clear, well-tested code that you and your teammates will be happy to maintain
- Reviewing other engineers' code and learning from theirs
- Pairing with senior engineers on harder problems and levelling up along the way
- Asking questions, seeking feedback, and taking ownership of the things you don't yet know
- Using AI tools as part of your daily workflow — and helping the team get better at using them
About you
We don't mind which language you've been writing in. What matters is that you've been actively developing software in a professional setting and have solid programming fundamentals — data structures, basic algorithms, OOP, testing, version control. Our stack is mostly Python, and you'll pick it up quickly if you don't already know it.
What we really care about:
- Growth mindset: You treat gaps in your knowledge as opportunities, not weaknesses. You go and find what you don't know rather than waiting to be told.
- Curiosity about AI: You're already experimenting with AI tools in your work, or you're hungry to. You see them as leverage.
- Hunger to progress: You want to be a Senior Engineer, and you want to get there as fast as you reasonably can. You're up for putting in the work.
- Initiative: You don't wait around for the next task or the next learning opportunity. You go looking.
- Good communication: You can explain what you're working on, ask for help when you're stuck, and give useful feedback in code reviews.
