The Role: We’re looking for a backend engineer to own our core data products from architecture through production. The role centers on building new customer-facing APIs, AI services, and a native workflow builder. This is a high-autonomy role for someone who can work directly with the founders to make architectural decisions and own product implementation end to end. Responsibilities: API development: lead the development of our new external API from end-to-end: API design: researching industry leading APIs and problem solving with founders on final openapi spec Architecture: deciding where to host what frameworks to leverage Implementation and deployment: building out optimized SQL queries that support dynamic filtering AI microservices Building, deploying, and testing agentic microservices that convert natural language / free-text queries into deterministic filters / permalinks Modernizing our MCP to leverage updated API routes and implement customer-scoped authentication and auditable credit charging Workflow builder: Build our workflow product end to end, similar to n8n, so customers can create recurring automations using our data Architecture design: Work with founders to define the workflow schema, execution model, and deployment architecture Implementation and deployment: Build scheduling, execution, persistence, retries, deduplication, and integration suite Requirements: Strong backend engineering experience building production systems from scratch Strong TypeScript/Node.js or Python skills, plus SQL and Postgres experience. Experience designing APIs, data models, and distributed jobs with authentication, idempotency, retries, and observability Understands how to use AI tooling (e.g., Claude, Codex) to build maintainable, modular systems without sacrificing quality Practical experience with LLM-backed systems, agentic frameworks, RAG, structured outputs, evaluations, and deterministic validation Clear product judgment and communication in ambiguous, fast-moving environments Deployed production systems using cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure) Nice to Have: Experience working with open-source LLMs Search, entity resolution, workflow engines, or complex data products Experience working with GCP services (e.g, Google Cloud Run) React/Next.js experience and the ability to ship customer-facing product flows Experience with Supabase, Vercel, Clerk, and Stripe
