About the role

This role offers the chance to lead backend development and shape a next‑generation AI‑powered platform. You’ll build scalable Python systems, contribute across the stack, and collaborate directly with product and leadership to turn complex business needs into impactful technical solutions.

• Collaborate with product & CEO: work closely with stakeholders to understand business needs and turn them into technical solutions.
• Prototype quickly & iterate: deliver functional, scrappy prototypes for fast learning and adjust based on feedback.
• Work with production feedback: build features that can be tested with real users, monitor performance, and iterate rapidly.
• Take ownership: make sound engineering decisions independently, ensuring alignment with product goals.
• Support a culture of speed and experimentation: balance technical quality with business value, optimizing for learning and time‑to‑market.

Must haves

• Proven experience of 4+ years as a Senior Python back‑end engineer.
• A strong product‑focused mindset and genuine interest in solving user and business problems.
• Proactive nature with a habit of asking questions and seeking to understand the bigger picture.
• Ability to think quickly, make strong engineering decisions, and adapt to changing requirements.
• Independence, ownership, and comfort working with minimal supervision.
• Must be based in Europe time zones (GMT+0 to GMT+5).
• Upper‑Intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

• Experience with Python web frameworks such as Django or FastAPI.
• Experience in an early‑stage startup environment.
• Experience with building LLMs or building agentic AI systems.
• Front‑end experience with frameworks like Vue.js or React.
• Leadership experience.

• Professional growth: Accelerate your professional journey with mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
• Competitive compensation: We match your ever‑growing skills, talent, and contributions with competitive USD‑based compensation and budgets for education, fitness, and team activities.
• A selection of exciting projects: Work on modern solutions for Fortune 500 enterprises and leading product brands.
• Flextime: Tailor your schedule for an optimal work‑life balance, with options to work from home or in the office.
