Description

Tasks

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs for our content platform using Python, and FastAPI
  • Build reliable pipelines that transform raw and heterogeneous data into structured, production-ready content
  • Develop and integrate production-grade LLM workflows, including prompting, structured outputs, embeddings, similarity search, and evaluation
  • Build resilient integrations with third-party APIs, REST services, and webhooks
  • Design and maintain asynchronous processing workflows using queues, and Redis
  • Contribute to our TypeScript services where needed
  • Contribute to architecture, code quality, technical standards, and continuous improvement of our backend stack

Requirements

  • 6+ years of professional backend engineering experience
  • Strong Python expertise, including FastAPI and pydantic
  • Working knowledge of TypeScript — enough to read, debug, and contribute to our TypeScript services
  • Experience with AI automation — building systems that integrate, govern, or orchestrate LLM-driven workflows, not just calling an API
  • Experience with Redis and message queue based asynchronous processing
  • Strong testing discipline (pytest) and track record of owning features end-to-end, from architecture through delivery

Nice-to-have

  • TypeScript/Node.js experience, e.g. with frameworks such as NestJS
  • AWS or other cloud infrastructure experience
  • Experience with data pipelines handling heterogeneous/unstructured input
  • Familiarity with vector search / embedding stores
  • Prior experience integrating with third-party content or media APIs

Benefits

  • Creative Freedom and Responsibility: You’ll have genuine freedom to actively help shape and further develop our digital products, workflows, and formats
  • Meaningful Work: The opportunity to contribute to a challenging environment
  • Secure Future: Permanent employment with a trust-based work schedule and a high degree of personal responsibility
  • Work in the heart of Berlin: A modern office right on Alexanderplatz with an impressive view of the city and excellent public transportation connections
  • Appreciative corporate culture: An open, collegial atmosphere where individual perspectives matter and teamwork is a way of life
  • Personal and professional growth: Opportunities for growth and the chance to take on more responsibility and develop new skills

We look forward to receiving your application!
