Design and implement high-performance APIs for frontend-backend communication. Data Management:
Ensure efficient data storage, retrieval, and processing using technologies like PostgreSQL, Redis, or others. AI Integration:
Collaborate with AI engineers/researchers to integrate AI-driven insights into backend systems and own API authentication/authorization frameworks. Data Visualization:
Develop intuitive interfaces for time-series and topological data visualization. Requirements
3+ years of software engineering experience with a focus on full-stack systems. Proven ability to lead in fast-paced startup environments with limited resources and shifting priorities. Strong experience with Python and web frameworks such as FastAPI. Hands-on experience with React, TypeScript, Next.js, and TailwindCSS to build fast, responsive frontends. React experience is essential; we support learning other tools. Experience deploying applications on AWS, with ECS or Kubernetes, PostgreSQL for data storage, and S3 for large-scale object storage. Note: You don’t need to meet every requirement. If you have deep experience in a subset, we encourage you to apply. Nice to Have
