The Role

As a Software Engineer II, you will own backend services and web interfaces across Seito's product portfolio — from schema design and APIs through deployment, AI feature integration, and ongoing operation. This is a backend-heavy, full-stack role in an active 0-to-1 build phase.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement backend services in Python, Go, or TypeScript, including REST APIs, event consumers, and scheduled workloads.
• Build and maintain web interfaces in Next.js and React, integrated with the services behind them.
• Model and evolve relational schemas and deliver migrations that execute safely against live production data.

• Integrate with third-party systems including payment gateways, lending partners, and CRM platforms.
• Participate in design and code review and contribute to engineering standards and technical documentation.

Must-Have Requirements

• Proficiency in at least one backend language in production — Python, Go, or TypeScript (Java as primary is not applicable to the current stack).
• Working knowledge of React or an equivalent frontend component framework; open to owning both backend and frontend work.
• AI/LLM exposure in a real project — RAG pipelines, evaluation harnesses, tool-calling flows, or similar applied AI work.
• CI/CD pipeline experience — build automation and release management using GitLab CI or equivalent tooling.

Good to Have

• Go as primary backend language.
• Next.js experience for frontend development.
• Apache Kafka or equivalent event-driven architecture in production, including failure handling and replay.
• Kubernetes operations — deploying, monitoring, and troubleshooting containerised services on GKE.
• Relational database ownership — schema design, indexing, transaction isolation, and zero-downtime migrations.
• Terraform and infrastructure as code on Google Cloud Platform.
• ClickHouse, Apache Spark, Elasticsearch, or vector databases.
• Django, Django REST Framework, or FastAPI exposure.
• Hands-on experience with Anthropic Claude or OpenAI SDKs.
