Responsibilities

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

We are a remote-first business.
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help us turn long-range product vision into robust, scalable infrastructure. You’ll work closely with our Lead Developer and collaborate across product, QA, and design to build high-impact features and shape our technical roadmap.
This is a deeply technical role with a strong social component. You’ll spend ~90% of your time coding and ~10% in meetings. You’ll mentor teammates, contribute to architectural decisions, and help us manage technical risk while keeping our codebase fresh and performant.
We’re remote-first, and we care deeply about your growth. Expect plenty of opportunities to stretch your muscles in machine learning, geospatial data, and complex systems.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Care about maintenance. You worry about the person who’ll inherit your code nine months from now—and you write accordingly.
  • Build and optimise backend services supporting 7 API endpoints
  • Wrangle large datasets for accuracy, robustness, and speed
  • Collaborate with QA, product and design to deliver high-impact features
  • Design, deploy, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure (Heroku, Docker and GCP)
  • Help shape a collaborative, mission-driven engineering culture
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers
