We’re a remote, product-focused startup building AI- and algorithm-driven systems, and we’re looking for a strong Backend Django Engineer who loves clean data models, well-designed APIs, and clever algorithms.
You’ll own core backend features end-to-end : from modeling the data to implementing the logic and exposing it through fast, reliable services that ship to users quickly, working with a small distributed team across several countries.
What You’ll Do
- Design and implement backend services and APIs using Python + Django (and DRF or similar).
- Model and evolve our domain in the database with clean, well-structured schema s and relationships.
- Implement algorithmic / AI logic in the backend (e.g., scoring, ranking, routing, decision rules).
- Write pragmatic, production-ready code that’s easy to reason about and iterate on.
- Optimize for correctness and performance : efficient queries, smart indexing, and lean responses.
- Work with the team to turn product ideas into concrete technical designs and endpoints.
- Help shape how we build things : patterns, conventions, and how we ship and iterate as we grow.
What We’re Looking For
Strong experience building backend applications with Python + Django .Solid understanding of relational data modeling and SQL (we use PostgreSQL).Comfortable designing and building RESTful APIs (bonus if you’ve used DRF or similar frameworks).Experience working on non-trivial business logic or algorithms (e.g., decision flows, scoring rules, optimization logic).Good instincts around performance : understanding query behavior, avoiding obvious pitfalls, and using caching when it counts.A startup mindset : comfortable with ambiguity, moving fast, and iterating based on real-world feedback.Ability to work independently in a remote environment and communicate clearly.Bonus Points For
Experience in startups, side projects, or hackathons where you’ve had to ship scrappy solutions fast.Background in algorithms, optimization, or data-heavy systems.Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in production.Familiarity with Redis (caching, queues) and PostgreSQL at some scale.Exposure to containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) and / or serverless on GCP.This role is a central piece of our backend roadmap , and we’re aiming to fill it quickly once we meet the right person. If it resonates with you, go ahead and apply now.
