About the company
Our client is a software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build and grow the server-side infrastructure that logs customer activity and supports invoicing. The work centers on data accuracy when records arrive delayed, reordered or repeated, on steady service response times across interactive and offline workloads, and on reporting screens that stay quick as stored history expands.
What you'll do
- Engineer counting logic so each usage record is captured one time despite delayed, reordered or duplicated inputs.
- Tune service response times for both interactive calls and large offline workloads so neither degrades the other.
- Verify that invoiced amounts line up with the usage actually logged for each account.
- Improve the speed of usage dashboards as stored history grows larger.
- Contribute to server-side infrastructure alongside the company's technical and executive leadership.
Requirements
What we're looking for

- Hands-on experience with Python and a relational or cache data store.
- Working knowledge of Next.js or React.
Bonus points
- Prior experience as a startup founder.
- Experience with AI systems, payments integrations, or developer-facing APIs or SDKs.
