You do not need to be a frontend specialist.**Nice to Have**PostHog or other product analytics tools, with the habit of checking whether a featurewas actually adopted after launch.Experience with geographic or time-series data.Caching, pre-computation and data packaging for high-traffic applications.** Description / Responsibilities:****What You'll Do**Our client is the leading source of housing market data for homebuyers and real estateinvestors in the US, with more than 2 million users. The platform processes data across30,000+ ZIP codes, 3,000+ counties and 50+ data points, with datasets going back decades,and runs one of the most accurate housing forecasting systems in the industry. The companyis profitable and growing.**You will own:**\\* Python backend systems and APIs\\* ETL and data-processing pipelines\\* Advanced SQL and BigQuery workloads on large historical and geographic datasets\\* Scheduled jobs, queues, background processes and asynchronous workflows\\* GCP infrastructure: Compute Engine, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub, monitoring andload balancing\\* How data is precomputed, packaged, cached, compressed and served efficiently\\* Performance, reliability, scalability and monitoring\\* Frontend changes in React/Next.js/TypeScript, using AI tools to build components andconnect them to backend systems\\* Selected features end to end, from technical planning to launch, analytics and iterationA typical feature runs architecture, data pipeline, database, API, frontend, launch,analytics review and iteration.**What We're Looking For:**This is a hands-on role. You will write code, investigate bugs, deploy solutions andtroubleshoot production systems yourself. Backend and data engineering stay your primaryresponsibility, but the client wants someone who takes a feature across the finish lineinstead of stopping once the API is done.Shipping is not the finish line. You should care whether users actually adopted thefeature, how it performs, and what to improve next.This role is not a fit if your experience is mainly data engineering without buildingAPIs, if your backend work has been mostly CRUD without large-scale data, or if frontendis your strongest skill.
