Who You Are
Were looking for a peer who is a bullshit-free problem solver and isnt afraid to challenge assumptions. You should bring:
Strong professional experience in backend engineering within a production environment.
Advanced knowledge of Python (or a similar backend language) and a solid understanding of relational databases.
A balance of hands-on execution and strategic thinking specifically in designing REST APIs and operating backend services.
Experience with AI coding tools and a proven track record of owning features through their full lifecycle.
A proactive and empathetic approach to communication and cross-functional collaboration.
Bonus points for:
Experience with distributed systems messaging and cloud-based architectures.
Familiarity with Docker CI/CD pipelines or infrastructure tooling.
A passion for mentoring junior engineers or acting as a technical point of contact.
What Success Looks Like
Within 3 Months: Youll build a strong understanding of our backend architecture and start delivering changes independently as a reliable contributor to the team.
Within 6 Months: Youll own larger features end-to-end and begin improving existing systems through refactoring or performance tuning.
Within 12 Months: Youll act as a go-to engineer for specific backend areas helping shape technical direction and raising the engineering bar across the MAT team.
