Backend Software Engineer

About The Job

We are looking for a staff software engineer who builds great products and has figured out how to use AI to do it fast. You will orchestrate agents, build feedback loops, and ship features end‑to‑end in a fraction of the time it used to take.

• Backend:
  Scala, GCP services
• Frontend:
  React + Type Script
• We value stack‑agnostic thinking. Build with Go, Python, Java, or any other language if you pick things up fast.

• Identify and execute improvements to the codebase that make it easier for both humans and AI agents to move fast and ship safely.
• Work with a group of senior engineers in a low‑process environment powered by trust and autonomy.
• Drive decisions and consensus asynchronously with thoughtful documentation and specs.
• Own features end‑to‑end — from backend systems to partner‑facing surface. Use AI tooling across the stack as needed.
• Architect scalable solutions and foundational patterns that launch new partner experiences efficiently.
• Collaborate with PMs and business partners to define and refine the roadmap. Your voice and technical vision matter.
• Collaborate with a diverse group of people, giving and receiving feedback for growth.

• Natural drive to dive into an unknown codebase and deliver results fast.
• Strong product thinking anchored in customer experience.
• Ability to direct AI agents and automated workflows, knowing when to intervene.
• Experience designing guardrails and feedback loops for AI‑assisted development.
• Mastery‑level willingness to learn or experience with distributed system development in Scala.
• Ability to articulate solutions, tradeoffs, and reasoning.

• Well‑funded startup with competitive salary, pre‑IPO equity.
• Employee premiums fully covered for group insurance via Vitality Health.
• Automatic Smart Pension contributions.
• Generous parental leave above industry standards.
• On‑demand coworking space via Flex Desk and work‑from‑home stipend.
• Travel stipend.
• Unlimited PTO.
• Entrepreneurial culture with risk‑taking and open communication.
• Small, dynamic teams for massive impact.
