Senior Backend Engineer (Python)
Remote — Ecuador or Peru
We’re hiring a true senior engineer with real startup experience to help scale production systems used by paying customers.
This is not a role for someone who prefers structured enterprise environments. We operate lean, move quickly, and expect engineers to think and act like owners.
What You’ll Do- Design, build, and deploy backend services in Python
- Own features end-to-end (architecture → implementation → deployment → monitoring)
- Improve system reliability, scalability, and performance
- Participate in architecture decisions and influence technical direction
- Raise engineering standards across the team
- 7–10+ years building production backend systems
- Strong Python experience in real-world deployments
- Proven experience working in startups or early-stage product companies
- Designed and shipped APIs or backend systems from scratch
- Deep understanding of Postgres (schema design, performance tuning)
- Experience with async processing, background jobs, queues
- Docker + cloud deployments (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- Fluent English
You have:
- Worked in small teams where ambiguity was normal
- Shipped without perfect specifications
- Made architectural decisions with limited information
- Dealt with production issues directly
- Balanced speed with technical quality
- Independent problem solvers
- Engineers who bring ideas forward and challenge assumptions constructively
- Comfort with open debate backed by reasoning
- Ownership mindset — you care about the long-term health of what you build
- Experience with RAG pipelines or LLM integrations
- Experience with vector search or AI-powered systems
- You prefer large enterprise environments with rigid processes
- You require detailed task breakdowns before starting work
- You are uncomfortable pushing back on technical decisions
