• Support the design and implementation of databases, messaging systems, and data integrations
• Collaborate with ML and frontend teams to integrate models and features into production
• Help monitor system performance, debug issues, and contribute to reliability
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and improving backend best practices

Requirements

• 0–2 years of professional Python experience (internships, open source, or strong personal projects count)
• Strong knowledge of algorithms and data structures, with a solid grasp of time and space complexity
• Clean, idiomatic Python and a good sense for choosing the right tool for the job
• Familiarity with version control (Git) and writing testable code
• A genuine curiosity for how things work under the hood

Nice to Haves

• Participation in competitive programming contests
• Olympiad background in informatics or mathematics
• Exposure to backend development, REST APIs, or databases
• Familiarity with Docker or CI/CD workflows
• Open-source contributions

Why You Should Join

• Competitive equity & pay: get in early and own what you build
• Growth opportunities. Learn directly from senior engineers, take on increasing ownership, and grow into a senior role as the company scales
