Software Engineer (Sunnyvale)

Backend Engineer – Build the Core System (Early Stage)

I’m working with a fast-growing, venture-backed startup that is rebuilding a complex, real-world industry from the ground up using AI and modern backend systems.

They’ve already hit strong early traction and are now hiring an engineer to help define and build the platform at the center of the business.

What you’ll be doing

This role sits right at the core of the company.

You’ll be:

• Building backend systems that power real-world operations
• Designing APIs, services, and data models from scratch
• Owning database design and performance (PostgreSQL)
• Working with AWS or GCP in a production environment
• Shipping quickly and iterating on live systems
• Integrating AI-driven workflows into core product logic

You won’t be handed tickets.

You’ll be expected to figure things out and build.
