Senior Backend Engineer – Python

Your mission

You'll be responsible for the technical backbone of our product—shaping architecture decisions, evolving production systems, and setting the engineering standard as our team grows:

• Define and evolve our backend architecture—making strategic decisions on service boundaries, data flows, and scaling patterns.
• Design and build high-throughput content ingestion and transformation pipelines that reliably process thousands of articles daily.
• Own the full lifecycle of our core API services (FastAPI)—from design through deployment to operational excellence.
• Establish backend engineering standards: code quality, testing strategies, documentation practices, and review processes.
• Drive infrastructure decisions—evaluate trade-offs between cloud services, optimize costs, and ensure our systems are observable and resilient.
• Mentor and guide future engineering hires as the team scales.
