Sr Python Engineer
Role Summary
They’re hunting a senior Python Engineer who owns fast-paced, high-stakes battlegrounds. Engineers here aren’t code monkeys—they’re master builders, crisis crushers, and sharp collaborators hooked on the chaos of real impact. You’ll command the design and scaling of backend empires, slamming features out weekly, wielding data like a blade, and gripping projects from blueprint to battlefield.
You’ll engineer the ironclad cores fueling a fintech juggernaut that thousands devour daily. Forget rote backend drudgery—you’ll fuse in AI firepower, from dev turbochargers and code oracles to customer spellwork automations. They’re primed to deploy LLMs and agent hordes, supercharging speed and smuggling intelligence into every vein.
If ownership fuels your fire, relentless iteration is your rhythm, and smashing limits with backend grit plus AI edge is your arena, you’ll rule this domain.
What you'll do
Sync with the dev crew to architect, forge, and fortify razor-sharp Python solutions that dominate.
Weaponize LLMs and AI accelerators to blitz through coding, testing, and docs—like a force multiplier for your daily grind.
Spin up and embed AI-fueled pipelines (agents, RAG beasts, automations) straight into backend strongholds and front-line features.
Craft and guard backend architectures and APIs that marry classic engineering precision with AI-enhanced dominance.
Shape database schemas and tango with relational titans via ORMs like SQLAlchemy.
Deploy and sharpen unit/integration tests with Unittest, pytest, and Behave to keep code unbreakable.
Craft crisp tech docs, steer code reviews, and dive into pair-programming duels.
Lock arms with the squad and grill technical interviews to spot coding sharpshooters.
Jump into debates, dropping intel on business maneuvers, tech calls, and project pulses.
Step up as the tech alpha in your crew and across the empire.
What we're looking for
5+ years slinging production-grade backend Python (FastAPI, Tornado, Flask) like a pro.
Battle-tested in sculpting REST APIs and wrangling databases.
Deep command of relational databases and ORMs (SQLAlchemy).
Rock-solid grip on algorithms and OOP mastery.
Proven track record harnessing LLMs and AI sidekicks (ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot) to amp dev output.
Hands-on with—or burning curiosity for—sliding LLMs and agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI functions, etc.) into live systems and flows.
Street smarts with monitoring, logging, alerting arsenals (Datadog, Sentry, CloudWatch).
Sharp eye for data-driven moves: experiments, instrumentation, metrics dissection.
Elite handling of testing suites like Unittest, pytest, and Behave.
Fluent in GitHub versioning warfare.
Killer comms chops and remote-first collab finesse.
A relentless operator with laser focus on details.
Bachelor's in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or kin.
Nice to have
Battle scars from elite LLM ops—think multi-agent symphonies, orchestration engines (LangChain, LlamaIndex), or self-driving code/test bots.
Insider knowledge of RAG rituals and vector vaults (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS).
Proven tweaks for AI pipelines: slashing latency, trimming costs, locking in reliability at scale.
Comfort with AWS via boto, plus IaC blades like Terraform or CloudFormation.
Docker mastery and containerized dev ops.
Scar tissue from third-party hookups (Plaid, Unit, Finix, etc.).
Fintech trenches or financial product skirmishes under your belt.
Startup scars and a career mosaic of wild roles get bonus points.
Who you are
They want an engineer blending tech supremacy with shape-shifting grit, ironclad ownership, and insatiable hunger— the type who pivots on a dime, devours duty, and charges frontiers without flinching. You’ll conquer high-velocity chaos, devour feedback like fuel, and geek out on AI-augmented futures.
You obsess over code that’s clean, bulletproof, and scales like wildfire.
You seize projects end-to-end, from spark to surveillance, no handoffs.
You solo like a boss but thrive in elite, blistering squads.
You morph to weekly release frenzy and crave the rush of non-stop refinement.
You hunt feedback as growth nitro—and dish it back with surgical precision.
You’re a curiosity machine, flexing fast, devouring fresh tech like LLMs and AI evolutions.
You prize crystal-clear comms and crush remote collab like it’s face-to-face.
How we work
They’re a lean, warp-speed crew hooked on precision, independence, and audacious moves. Boundaries get bulldozed, velocity rules, and creation is yours to claim. Their vibe pulses with:
Ownership & Accountability—You claim your builds. Drive features from vision to victory, trusted fully.
Speed & Adaptability—Blitz weekly with endless tweaks. Flux is fuel; they surf it.
Feedback Culture—Raw, real exchanges—delivered sharp, absorbed eager.
Data-Driven Thinking—Product plays or perf probes, metrics mandate the truth.
High Appetite for Risk—Bold swings, swift tests, lessons extracted hot.
Continuous Learning—Curiosity reigns; they stalk bleeding-edge, especially AI and LLMs.
Team Collaboration—Remote core, but welded tight: comms razor, duties shared.
What we offer
Flexible hours that bend to your rhythm.
Generous paid vacation to recharge your edge.
Full work-from-home freedom.
Prime slot as an early engineering trailblazer, seizing massive stakes in a product poised to rewrite thousands of lives.
Yearly squad escapes to epic frontiers—from Thai shores to Brazilian wilds.
