About the role

This role offers the chance to lead backend development and shape a next-generation AI-powered platform. You’ll build scalable Python systems, contribute across the stack, and collaborate directly with product and leadership to turn complex business needs into impactful technical solutions. Working in a fast-paced, experiment-driven environment, you’ll prototype, iterate, and take ownership of features that deliver real user value. With a culture that values speed, independence, and collaboration, this role lets you make significant technical and product impact while growing as a senior engineer.

What you will do

• Lead backend development: design, implement, and maintain scalable backend systems in Python;

• Contribute across the stack: while backend is the main focus, be open to occasional frontend contributions (Vue.js, React, etc.) when needed;

• Collaborate with product & CEO: work closely with stakeholders to understand business needs and turn them into technical solutions;

• Prototype quickly & iterate: deliver functional, scrappy prototypes for fast learning and adjust based on feedback;

• Work with production feedback: build features that can be tested with real users, monitor performance, and iterate rapidly;

• Take ownership: make sound engineering decisions independently, ensuring alignment with product goals;

• Support a culture of speed and experimentation: balance technical quality with business value, optimizing for learning and time-to-market.

Must haves

• Proven experience of 4+ years as a Senior Python back-end engineer;

• A strong product-focused mindset and genuine interest in solving user and business problems, not just delivering code;

• A proactive nature, with a habit of asking questions and seeking to understand the bigger picture;

• Ability to think quickly, make strong engineering decisions, and adapt to changing requirements;

• Independence, ownership, and comfort working with minimal supervision;

• Must be based in Europe time zones (GMT+0 to GMT+5);

• Upper-Intermediate English level.

  
  

Nice to haves

• Experience with Python web frameworks like Django or FastAPI;

• Experience in an early-stage startup environment;

• Leadership experience.
