Senior Python Backend Engineer

 Full Stack Engineer (AI Systems) – Remote (Global)

We’re working with a well-established, tech-led business that is building a new AI product focused on handling real-world tasks, workflows and decision-making.

This is a small, high-calibre team building systems where AI capability is translated into reliable, structured product behaviour, with a strong emphasis on execution and consistency in real usage.

The product focuses on:

• Long-running workflows
• Persistent context
• Multi-step task execution
• Integration with external systems
• The core challenge is designing systems that can apply model capability in a structured and reliable way, even when behaviour is non-deterministic.

The Role

This role sits at the product layer, connecting backend systems, AI capability and the end-user experience.

The focus is on building systems that enable:

• AI workflows to run end-to-end within the product
• User-facing features that behave consistently under real usage
• Real-time interaction with AI-driven systems

You’ll be working on:

• End-to-end product features across frontend and backend
• Agent workflows, including planning, tool usage, failure handling and recovery
• Integration of LLMs, memory and external systems into user-facing flows
• Real-time interactions, including streaming responses and partial updates
• Reliability and fallback behaviour within the product experience

What They Care About

The hiring bar is centred around real production experience:

• Whether you have built and shipped features end-to-end
• Your experience working with AI-powered applications beyond simple API usage
• Your ability to handle practical challenges such as:
• ambiguity in product requirements
• failure and recovery in AI workflows
• maintaining consistent behaviour in real-world usage

Tech Environment

• Next.js / React
• Python and Node.js
• SQL / NoSQL databases
• LLM ecosystem (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• Docker and Kubernetes
• AWS, Azure or GCP is fine

The emphasis is on how you design and ship product features, rather than any single technology.

Team & Working Style

• Remote-first
• Small, highly capable engineering team
• Strong emphasis on ownership and delivery
• Comfortable working across frontend, backend and evolving systems 

• Rebuild and enhance existing CRM features within a live production system
• Work end-to-end across Front End and Back End systems
• Partner closely with engineering leadership to understand product direction and priorities
• Turn business problems into pragmatic technical solutions
• Ship iteratively, build, share, improve
• Contribute to technical direction as the team scales

• Senior/Staff-level Full Stack Engineer with strong product mindset
• Experience working in brownfield systems and modernising existing platforms
• Comfortable operating beyond code, able to engage with the business and explain trade-offs
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with non-technical stakeholders
• Pragmatic approach: focused on outcomes, not perfection first time

• React (modern Front End development)
• .NET (back-end/APIs)
• Exposure to Agentic AI/AI-assisted development (eg Claude Code)
• Cloud experience: Azure and/or AWS

The Role

As a Golang Engineer, you will be part of an agile engineering team focused on designing and developing Golang‑based microservices and APIs. You will contribute across the full software development lifecycle, ensuring high‑quality, scalable, and resilient backend services.
