About Discovr AI

Discovr AI is building an AI-native infrastructure layer for creator advertising, enabling brands and agencies to automate creator discovery, campaign execution, content intelligence, brand safety, measurement, and reporting. We are building production-grade AI systems and agentic workflows that operate across large volumes of creator, campaign, content, audience, and brand data.

We’re a startup, not a ticket factory. Engineers here get ownership, ambiguity, and the opportunity to build systems from the ground up.

What you'll do

• Build and scale backend systems and microservices using Golang
• Design scalable, event-driven architectures and backend infrastructure
• Build APIs, workers, real-time services, and distributed backend components
• Own features end-to-end, from problem statement to production
• Work with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and AWS
• Design efficient data models, indexing strategies, and MongoDB aggregation pipelines
• Collaborate closely with Product, AI, and Frontend teams
• Debug, optimise, and improve systems as we scale

What we're looking for

• 2–3 years of backend development experience at an AI / B2B SaaS startup
• Strong hands-on experience with Golang
• Experience building and working with microservices
• Experience designing scalable, event-driven architectures
• Good understanding of API design, workers, WebSockets, and asynchronous processing
• Experience with Redis and message queues such as RabbitMQ, Kafka, or AWS SQS
• Strong understanding of databases, indexing, query optimisation, and MongoDB aggregation pipelines
• Hands-on experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and AWS
• Good understanding of DSA and core computer science fundamentals
• Exposure to TypeScript / JavaScript
• Experience with Docker, CI/CD, and automated testing
• Experience working in a startup or high-ownership environment
• Someone who has built systems from 0→1, preferably owning significant parts independently
• Strong logical thinking, problem-solving, and engineering fundamentals

Bonus points

• Python / FastAPI experience
• Exposure to LLMs, AI agents, RAG, or AI-powered products
• Experience with distributed systems, caching, observability, or cloud infrastructure
