Back End Developer

Datasent is building the infrastructure layer for a privacy‑first data economy. We help companies train, analyze, and monetize data without moving or exposing raw data using edge computing, cryptographic verification, and decentralized AI workflows. We work at the intersection of backend systems, data engineering, ML pipelines, and deployment infrastructure, and we’re looking for engineers who want to grow into that space while shipping real software used by real customers.

Location: Austin, TX or Remote (U.S.)

Company: Datasent

Type: Full-time

We’re hiring a junior‑to‑mid‑career Backend Engineer with a strong foundation in Python or systems‑level programming and a genuine interest in deployment, Dev Ops workflows, and production systems.

You’ll work closely with a small, senior team on:

• Core backend services
• Data and ML processing pipelines
• Containerized deployments
• Client‑facing B2B implementations

This is a hands‑on role with meaningful ownership and exposure to real customer problems.

• Design and implement backend services in Python, Rust, or similar low‑level languages
• Build and maintain data processing and ML pipelines
• Develop and deploy containerized applications using Docker
• Work with SQL (Postgres or equivalent) and/or No
  
  SQL (Mongo
  
  DB) databases
• Support B2B client implementations, including requirement assessment and customization
• Collaborate closely with product, operations, and leadership in a remote‑first, small‑team environment
• Improve reliability, observability, and deployment workflows as the platform scales

• Proficiency in Python or Rust (or another systems‑oriented language)
• Experience with Postgre
  
  SQL or other SQL databases, and/or MongoDB
• Familiarity with common ML and data science libraries, such as Num Py, Pandas or Polars, Scikit‑Learn, OpenCV (or similar)
• Experience building and deploying applications using Docker or container technologies
• Exposure to B2B software development, including working with real client requirements
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable working on a small, remote team with direct ownership and responsibility

• Experience with implementation‑heavy client engagements
• Ability to turn bespoke client solutions into reusable frameworks or internal tools
• Background in cryptography‑adjacent or security‑minded systems
• Experience with AWS, especially ECS / EKS, S3, RDS
• Exposure to embedded or edge computing, including ARM or RISC‑V

• Work on hard, meaningful problems in privacy‑preserving data and AI
• Real ownership and impact—your code will ship and be used
• Learn from senior engineers and founders with deep systems experience
• Flexible, remote‑first culture focused on trust and execution
• Opportunity to grow into senior backend, platform, or systems roles
