How We Work

We don’t separate backend and frontend. Engineers here own problems end to end.

This role is primarily backend focused using Python and Flask, but you will also work on server-side rendered frontend using HTMX and GraphQL APIs.

You’ll spend a significant portion of your time building and shipping features, debugging customer issues, and working on integrations across a complex system.

You’ll regularly switch between building new features and resolving real customer issues, often with evolving requirements. This is a high-ownership environment where priorities can shift quickly, requiring strong problem-solving, adaptability, and decisive execution.

About You

You are a product-minded engineer who focuses on solving problems, not just writing code.

You are comfortable working in ambiguity and take ownership of figuring things out. Whether it is unclear requirements, customer pain points, or a complex codebase, you are able to break things down and move forward.

You ask the right questions, think in systems, and care about outcomes over output.

• Ability to work through ambiguity and clarify direction before execution

Qualifications:

• 5 to 8+ years of software engineering experience at an enterprise level

• Strong backend fundamentals and system design experience

• Experience working in high-ownership, fast-paced environments

• Comfortable managing multiple priorities and switching context

Bonus Points:

• Experience with server-side rendered frontend (HTMX, Turbo, or similar)

• Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

• Experience in fintech, accounting systems, logistics, or operational software

• Experience working on complex, domain-heavy products

• Experience mentoring or supporting other engineers

Perks & Details:
