Job description

Fully Remote | Profitable Product Company | Small Elite Team

We’re working with a profitable, product-led tech company building a mission-critical platform used by paying customers today – no VC pressure, no growth-at-all-costs chaos.

Founded by an ex-Meta engineer, this is a genuinely high-calibre environment where engineering quality, commercial thinking and product impact matter.

They’re looking for a senior backend-focused engineer who enjoys ownership, making pragmatic decisions, and building software that directly moves the business forward.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing and building scalable backend systems in Python (TypeScript experience also welcomed)
• Working closely with product and leadership to shape features end-to-end
• Making commercially aware engineering decisions – balancing speed, quality and long-term value
• Owning services in production and improving them over time
• Contributing to a small, high-trust, senior engineering team

What they’re looking for

• 5–10 years’ experience as a backend or full-stack engineer
• Strong Python experience (TypeScript acceptable as a secondary stack)
• A product-minded mindset – you care about outcomes, not just code
• Experience working in commercial, customer-facing products
• Comfortable in a senior role without layers of process or management overhead

Why this role?

• Fully remote, async-friendly culture
• Small, elite team – real influence from day one
• Already profitable – no VC runway anxiety
• High engineering bar, low ego environment
• Opportunity to work directly with an ex-Meta founder

If you’re a senior engineer who wants impact, autonomy and quality over hype, this is one worth a conversation.
