- Architect APIs, services, and data models that support complex, evolving workflows
- Write production code daily and stay directly involved in all critical backend paths
- Set and evolve technical direction through pragmatic architectural tradeoffs
- Establish backend engineering best practices around testing, reviews, deployments, and observability
- Work closely with product, scientific, and frontend collaborators to translate real needs into reliable backend solutions

Requirements
- Experience designing systems that progressively transform messy, real-word inputs (data, documents, workflows) into reliable, structured representations
- API and service design skills to support customer-facing reporting workflows and downstream consumers
- Experience deploying and operating model-serving systems that integrate ML outputs into product features
- Deep fluency with Python and TypeScript in production, including testing, maintainability, and performance tradeoffs
- Experience with data modeling - relational databases, object storage, and search/indexing for document-heavy systems
- Comfortable building on GCP with practical knowledge of deployment, stability, cost, etc.
Qualifications
- Experience as a backend engineering lead who owns architecture and execution while writing a large amount of production code.
Nice to Have
