Backend Engineer

We’re hiring a Senior Python Backend Developer who actively uses AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code) as part of their daily workflow. You’ll be taking ownership of a complex FastAPI backend powering a consumer-facing geospatial platform — managing integrations, data processing, and fulfilment orchestration.

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve a FastAPI backend with multiple API routes, database models, and external service integrations
• Implement features and resolve bugs using AI coding tools as your primary workflow
• Work with geospatial data — ship tracking (AIS), route processing, coordinate transformations
• Maintain and extend integrations with Stripe, Shopify, Supabase Auth, print fulfilment APIs
• Navigate and improve an existing codebase — architecture, dependencies, tech debt
• Write and maintain tests (pytest), follow TDD: write tests first, validate failure, implement, verify
• Maintain per-feature documentation (MD files)
• Ship fast, iterate, communicate blockers

Requirements:

• 4+ years of production Python experience (FastAPI or similar async frameworks)
• Strong SQLAlchemy / PostgreSQL skills (complex queries, ORM patterns, performance)
• Experience integrating third-party APIs (payment, e-commerce, webhooks)
• Mandatory: daily working experience with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools
• Mandatory: demonstrated ability to leverage AI effectively — prompt engineering, reviewing AI output, steering implementations toward production quality
• Comfortable with AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager — or equivalent cloud)
• Strong debugging skills — catch and correct AI-generated mistakes
• Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar codebases and spot issues
• Self-driven, proactive, no hand-holding needed
• English: working proficiency (async team communication)

Nice to Have:

• Geospatial/GIS experience (Shapely, GDAL/Fiona, GeoJSON)
• Experience with Shopify API or Stripe integration
• Familiarity with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code
• Docker and container orchestration (ECS Fargate)
• Understanding of multi-agent AI systems

Recruitment Process:

1. HR and Final Interviews
2. Job Offer

We Offer:

• Fully remote — work from anywhere
• AI-first engineering culture
• Ownership of a complex, real-world product backend from day one
• Generous time off — 20 vacation + 15 sick days annually
