Senior Backend / Data Engineer
Greetings, future tech savant:
You will build and architect the complete backend and data foundation for sophisticated, multi-tenant AI-driven platforms. Your focus will be on robust database schema design, multi-tenant architectures, asynchronous API services, and data pipeline orchestration.
Your approach: contract-first backend development. You write the OpenAPI specs as the backend takes shape, ensuring seamless integration with frontend and AI components. You will architect data isolation patterns, design complex data processing workflows, implement pipeline stages, and build the core data infrastructure that allows the system to operate securely end-to-end.
Key ResponsibilitiesBackend
-
Design and implement advanced PostgreSQL schemas with row-level security (RLS) for multi-tenant applications.
-
Build and maintain async-heavy backend services using Python frameworks (e.g., FastAPI) with Pydantic validation.
-
Architect scalable data pipelines and orchestrate complex multi-stage data processing workflows.
-
Implement and enforce data isolation patterns in shared database environments.
-
Design and manage complex data workflows (e.g., additive data changes, diff detection, and selective re-processing).
-
Write and maintain OpenAPI contracts that serve as the development spec for cross-functional teams.
-
Collaborate with AI/LLM Leads on output validation, deterministic data integration, and system reliability.
Cross-functional
-
Craft code that is performant, testable, scalable, and secure
-
Provide accurate status tracking, reporting, and estimation
-
Collaborate with fellow engineers and product leadership to understand requirements
