Backend Software Engineer

We are hiring: Backend Software Engineer (Python / Polymath)

Do you have fun diving deep into backend architecture, building bulletproof APIs, and exploring diverse programming paradigms?

We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer who identifies as a polymath someone with deep core expertise but an insatiable curiosity for how different systems and languages solve complex problems.

-Bring up a novel solution and we could implement it, this is a high impact role.

& this is a heavy backend role. There is zero frontend work required. If you find joy in clean code, robust API design, and an elegant data flow, you’ll fit right in.

Our Tech Ideals & Your Toolkit

The Core Fundamentals

• Deep Python Expertise: You understand the language intimately, from its memory management to its async capabilities and ecosystem.
• API Architecture: You have a proven track record of designing, building, and scaling high-performance APIs.
• LLMs as a tool not a crutch: You know what the tools are actually good for, you know when something is common and simple enough that “Ai” can knock it out Vs. Allowing a tool to run off into the woods

The Extras (Nice-to-Haves)

We value polyglot mindsets. You don't need to know all of these, but familiarity or excitement about them is a massive plus:

• C# is a strong plus.
• Rust or Go (Golang) experience.
• Elixir (we find it interesting!).
• Ruby is perfectly okay by us.

What This Role Is Not

To save your time, this position is not a good fit if your recent experience or primary stack relies on:

• NodeJS or Java (we do not use either in our ecosystem).
• Frontend Frameworks (this is 100% backend/systems focused).
• PHP (unless it’s a distant memory from 15 years ago!).

Why Join Us?

We don’t use a single framework. We prefer polymaths intellectuals who look at a problem and choose the right tool for the job rather than just the tool they know best. You will have the autonomy to solve hard problems, optimize deep backend infrastructure, and influence our technical direction.
