We’re hiring a full-time remote Software Engineer to work across backend systems, AI workflows, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing technical problems.

What you’ll do

- Develop APIs, internal tools, workflow automation systems, and AI-enabled product features
- Debug production issues across application logic, data pipelines, cloud services, APIs, and integrations
- Improve system reliability, performance, observability, and maintainability
- Work with customer-facing issues: understand the underlying problem behind specific customer requests, reproduce issues, and build durable product or engineering fixes
- Collaborate closely with a small engineering team and take ownership of implementation from problem definition to deployment
What we’re looking for
- Strong proficiency in Python
- Strong backend engineering fundamentals
- Experience building and shipping production software
- Experience working with AWS and/or GCP
- Ability to debug complex technical issues independently
- Ability to reason through customer-reported problems and identify underlying root causes
- Experience designing clean APIs, services, data flows, and system abstractions
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; high ownership, reliability, and attention to detail
- Clear communication and ability to document and explain technical decisions
- Familiarity with atleast one of Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, or Codex for day-to-day use
Nice to have
- Experience with TypeScript
- Experience with LLMs, VLMs, RAG, document processing, OCR, structured extraction, or agentic workflows
- Experience with cloud infrastructure, queues, background jobs, serverless systems, containers, or distributed systems
- Experience with observability, logging, monitoring, and production debugging
- Experience building enterprise SaaS products or internal tools used by operational teams
Compensation: 20K-35K USD/yr (depending on experience and fit)
Commitment: 40hrs/week
