Develop APIs, data pipelines, and audit engines that drive automation
Collaborate with AI/ML teams to productionize model outputs
Implement observability, performance monitoring, and logging across services
Help shape engineering best practices in a fast-paced, early-stage environment
Make frontend updates as necessary
What We’re Looking For
5+ years experience building backend systems in production
Strong programming skills in Python, Node.js, or Flask
Deep understanding of REST APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures
Hands-on experience with Postgre SQL, Mongo DB, or other SQL/No SQL systems
Comfort working in cloud environments like AWS, using Docker/Kubernetes
Strong communication and collaboration skills in a remote-first team
Self-starter mindset—you take ownership and move fast
Nice to Have
Experience in freight, logistics, fintech, or document-heavy domains
Exposure to AI/ML workflows and integrating model outputs into backend systems
Familiarity with message queues (e.g. SQS, Kafka)
Background in building secure, enterprise-grade software
Familiarity with frontend javascript tech
What We Offer
Competitive salary
Fully remote
️ Chance to shape foundational systems at an early-stage startup
Work on real-world problems with massive impact
