About Peec AI

Peec AI is the analytics platform for AI search. People increasingly discover products and make buying decisions through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews instead of traditional search, and most brands have no idea where they show up in those answers. Peec gives marketing, SEO, and growth teams the data to see exactly that: how visible their brand is across AI platforms, how they compare to competitors, and where to win.
We are defining this category, and the market is moving with us. Peec is a Series A company backed by 20VC and Singular, past $15M ARR, with a 80+ person team across our Berlin HQ and our new New York office.

What you’ll do
  • Take ownership of complex backend systems end-to-end - from scoping and architecture to high-quality, reliable delivery

  • Design and build robust, scalable APIs and distributed systems that power our products and deliver exceptional performance

  • Collaborate closely with Product, Frontend, and Design teams to translate product ideas into well-architected backend solutions

  • Push the boundaries of what’s possible with modern backend technologies, driving innovation in both architecture and developer experience

  • Contribute to evolving our backend architecture, infrastructure, and developer tooling to support rapid iteration at scale

  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve system performance, reliability, and developer experience - and drive those initiatives through to execution

What we’re looking for
  • 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, ideally in fast-paced startup or high-growth environments

  • Deep expertise in Python and FastAPI, with a proven track record of building and scaling production systems

  • Experience designing and implementing APIs (REST, GraphQL, or gRPC) that power user-facing products

  • Strong experience working with SQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL), including schema design, query optimization, and data modeling for production systems

  • Familiarity with cloud-native architectures, ideally on GCP (e.g. Cloud Functions, Cloud Tasks, Firestore)

  • Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code

  • Familiarity with Vertex AI and ML specific infrastructure

  • Strong communication skills and a high sense of ownership - able to operate with autonomy while staying aligned with team goals

  • Some markers of excellence, which could also be non-work related, like having a high FIDE rating

  • Most importantly: we care deeply about working with genuinely kind, collaborative, and hard-working people who make the team better through empathy and openness

Tech Stack
  • Languages: Python, TypeScript

  • Backend: GCP, Vertex AI, Cloud Functions, Cloud Tasks, RabbitMC, Firestore, PostgreSQL, Clickhouse

  • AI Models: OpenAI, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Llama, etc.

Bonus Points
  • You’ve personally built and scaled a system (e.g. side project, startup, open-source) that handled significant traffic or complexity, and learned real lessons from it

  • Background working on AI products or data-heavy applications

  • Academic background in Computer Science or a related technical field

  • Experience in starting a company or working at a top-tier high-growth startup

What we offer
  • Exciting and challenging work with real impact and ownership at one of Europe’s fastest-growing Series A startups

  • Regular team events and off-sites

  • Aggressive equity compensation package

  • Paid Dinner & Uber home when working late

  • The most beautiful office space and work environment in Berlin

  • Deep expertise in Python and FastAPI
  • Experience designing and implementing APIs
