We’re on the hunt for a hands-on Principal Python Engineer to design and build the backbone of our data-driven systems. This is not a maintenance role — you’ll be shaping architecture from the ground up, solving tough scaling problems, and driving engineering excellence.
You’ll start as a key individual contributor, owning critical backend and data infrastructure. As we grow, you’ll have the chance to mentor, lead projects, and help build a world-class engineering culture.

Why this role rocks:
Full ownership: from architecture to implementation to optimization.
Solve open-ended technical challenges where your decisions shape the product.
Work with a modern Python stack (FastAPI, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Docker).
Build systems designed to scale, last, and evolve.
Opportunity to mentor engineers and step into leadership as the team grows.

What you’ll do
Architect and deliver high-performance backend systems (Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Docker).
Own end-to-end data flows: ingestion, transformation, storage, and querying.
Partner with product + data teams to solve real business problems with technical creativity.
Optimize performance & scale while keeping developer experience smooth.
Write clean, tested, maintainable code with clear interfaces & solid architecture.
Set engineering standards, documentation, and practices.
Grow into a technical leadership role while mentoring others.

You should have
7+ years of Python engineering experience with strong systems-level thinking.
Built and scaled production systems from scratch.
Architecting and deliver high-performance backend systems experience
Deep relational database expertise (PostgreSQL performance tuning a plus).
Strong background in data workflows: design, debugging, scaling.
Clear, collaborative communication in a remote-first team.

Bonus points for
Experience productionizing ML pipelines.
Out-of-the-box problem-solving chops for complex technical challenges.


If you’re an engineer who wants ownership, scale, and impact, this is the role for you.

About our recruitment process

We don’t expect a perfect fit for every requirement we’ve outlined. If you can see yourself contributing to the team, we want to hear your story. You can expect up to 3 interviews.
