About the Role

As a Senior Backend Engineer you will work on backend and infrastructure systems to design, build and maintain a fast and reliable experience for customers. You will collaborate with other engineers to develop the APIs, data models and services that power their products at scale. This role requires a strong understanding of databases, query optimization and distributed systems along with comfort integrating third-party vendors into existing first-party code.

The Stack

Python, Flask, SQLAlchemy, TypeScript, React, Kubernetes and AWS. They are open to candidates willing to learn these technologies quickly.

What They Are Looking For

Strong understanding of databases, query optimization and distributed systems. Experience designing and building scalable APIs and backend services. Comfort working across a modern cloud-based stack. Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work closely with other engineers across the organization.

What Is In It For You

Hybrid flexibility with 3 days a week in SF, NYC, Boston or Denver. A culture built around the quality of work you put out and the value you bring, not where you sit.


If you are a builder who wants to work on a product that genuinely matters to the engineers using it every day, this one is worth a conversation.
