Senior Backend Engineer - Team Atlas

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our engineering team and focus on building the data infrastructure that powers our feature computation platform. In this role, you'll own critical systems end-to-end and have real authority over how things are built. You'll work directly with Product and Design to shape what we build next.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of leading complex projects in a senior capacity (2+ years).
• Deep expertise in Python and building backend systems on cloud platforms (we use AWS).
• Strong system design skills — you're comfortable making architectural trade-offs and defending them.
• Depth in at least one of these areas: data pipelines and storage, event-driven architectures, caching and performance, or serverless systems.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders on a shared vision.

Benefits

• Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you and help you grow.
• Experience a truly flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members.
• Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth.
• Get access to a self-development budget you can use to e.g. attend conferences, buy books or take classes.
• Receive a new Apple MacBook Pro, as well as meaningful home office set-up.
• Top-of-market equity and cash compensation package.
