Data and integrations

• Design PostgreSQL schemas, write migrations, and improve queries where needed.
• Integrate usage reporting, billing, and external services.
• Build background jobs and handle retries, duplicate events, and failed requests safely.
• Use caching and queues where they solve a concrete problem.

Reliability and quality

• Write automated tests for important workflows and failure cases.
• Diagnose issues using logs and metrics, and fix their underlying causes.
• Keep code readable, document key decisions, and contribute to code reviews.
• Work with infrastructure and inference engineers to connect product services with model-serving systems.

• Ability to write useful automated tests and troubleshoot production issues.
• Clear communication and the ability to turn product requirements into working backend features.

05. NICE TO HAVE

• Go experience is strongly preferred, including the ability to read, maintain, or build services in Go.
• Experience with Redis, message queues, or background workers.
• Familiarity with payments, usage-based billing, or webhook integrations.
• Experience with Docker and CI/CD workflows.
• Experience building SaaS products or developer-facing APIs.
• Familiarity with AI APIs, streaming responses, or long-running requests.

06. WHAT WE OFFER

• Ownership of meaningful backend features used across the product.
• A direct voice in technical decisions and close collaboration with product and engineering.
• The opportunity to build experience in AI products and infrastructure.
• A small team with short decision cycles.
