What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, including production Python (FastAPI, Flask, or Django).
• Strong PostgreSQL expertise: Deep, hands-on PostgreSQL experience — schema design, indexing, query optimization, and migrations in a production system, not just CRUD access.
• Solid AWS experience: Real ownership of AWS infrastructure — you've built and operated services on Lambda, RDS, and/or App Runner (or close equivalents), and are comfortable with IAM, networking, and cost trade-offs, ideally with Terraform.
• Experience designing, versioning, and documenting REST APIs (OpenAPI/Swagger) consumed by multiple client platforms.
• Comfortable with containerized local development (Docker / Docker Compose).
• Startup mindset: A self-starter who works well independently and is genuinely comfortable with ambiguity — you don't need a fully-scoped ticket to make progress, and you're willing to make a call and adjust rather than wait for perfect clarity.
• Strong instincts for testing, code review, and pragmatic architecture trade-offs in a fast-moving product org.
• Excellent written communication — you document decisions and can work asynchronously.

Nice to Have

• Experience with ML/data tooling (Pandas, NumPy, time-series forecasting) or working alongside data science teams.
• Experience integrating LLM APIs or agentic tooling (Claude, Bedrock, MCP) into production products.
• Familiarity with Next.js/React/TypeScript, enough to collaborate across the stack on API design.
• Background in workforce management, scheduling, HR tech, or other vertical SaaS.
• Prior experience at an early-stage startup, where you owned infrastructure and data decisions with little existing precedent.
• Experience mentoring engineers or leading technical design for a small team.
