Senior Backend Engineer | Python | FastAPI | Postgres | AWS | GCP | Docker | Terraform | Hybrid, New York

Mission

We aim to help small and mid-sized blue-collar businesses grow and scale. These businesses are often the backbone of society—powering essential services like food supply, transportation, and infrastructure.

Historically, these companies have been underserved by the tech ecosystem and have relied on legacy systems. A major challenge in this space is data: large volumes exist, but they are fragmented across multiple systems, difficult to access, and often unstructured. Even when available, teams may lack the time or expertise to fully utilize it. This limits data-driven growth and impacts both business outcomes and workforce development.

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) make it easier to unify and interpret complex data in ways that non-technical users can understand. Our goal is to leverage these technologies to help businesses make better use of their data and unlock growth.

We are backed by leading venture investors.

The Role

We are hiring a Backend Developer to join at an early stage and play a key role in scaling the product as the customer base grows.

This role is suited to someone who values autonomy, enjoys broad ownership, and wants to help shape technical architecture and engineering culture from the ground up.

You will work on building modern software solutions for industries that have traditionally been underserved by technology.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and own end-to-end data pipelines (ingestion, cleaning, transformation)
• Build and maintain orchestration workflows (e.g., DAG-based systems) for reliable data movement
• Integrate with diverse and legacy customer systems (databases, CSVs, SFTP, ERP systems)
• Develop ETL/ELT pipelines to power analytics and AI systems
• Establish standards for data quality, schema evolution, and observability
• Optimize data schemas, queries, and performance for scalable analytics
• Build APIs and backend services that expose insights from data pipelines
• Define and implement best practices for CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and deployment

You will collaborate closely with the founding team to build AI-driven systems end-to-end.

About You

• Strong motivation to build and experiment; side projects are a plus
• 4+ years of experience developing backend systems, ideally in fast-paced environments
• Proficiency in Python (primary backend language)
• Experience designing workflows and working with orchestration tools
• Comfortable owning problems end-to-end in a dynamic environment
• Interest in working with LLM-based systems
• No prior industry experience required

Required:

• Python
• REST APIs
• Data pipelines (custom or orchestration frameworks)

Nice to have

• PostgreSQL
• Cloud platforms (GCP or AWS)
• Modern Python frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Pydantic)
• Data warehousing tools (e.g., BigQuery)
• Infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform)
• Containerization (Docker)
• CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions)

How We Work

• Customer-focused: delivering reliable, high-impact products
• Fast-paced and execution-driven
