About this role
\nKey Responsibilities
What We're Looking For
\n
- Design, build, and operate the backend services and APIs that power talent matching in production
- Build asynchronous, event-driven APIs and pipelines that stay fast and reliable under load
- Partner with Data Science to take their matching and language models from prototype to reliable production services
- Use AI-assisted development daily to design, write, test, and review code, and help set our standards for it
- Own quality for what you ship: testing, monitoring, latency, and cost
- Collaborate with Product and Operations to turn real recruiter and candidate needs into shipped features
- 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong Python skills
- Hands-on experience designing and operating production APIs and backend services at scale
- Experience designing asynchronous APIs (queues, events, webhooks, or streaming) and reasoning about concurrency
- Comfortable in a stack like ours: Python on AWS, infrastructure as code using CDK, asynchronous services over SQS, and Postgres (with VectorChord for vector search)
- Fluency with AI-assisted development: building with coding agents and LLM tools is part of your normal workflow
- Strong fundamentals in testing, observability, and debugging across distributed systems
- Nice to have: experience with small language models (SLMs), including fine-tuning, evaluation, or serving them in production
- Nice to have: experience close to AI/ML systems, such as model serving, retrieval, or evaluation harnesses
- Staffing, recruiting, or HR tech experience is a plus
$160,000 - $182,000 a year
