About the Role
Software Engineer — Backend
Hybrid in Seattle (in-person collaboration each week)
Full-time
What You’ll Do
Design, build, and operate backend services and APIs that power AI-driven test generation and execution.
Own projects end-to-end: architecture, implementation, observability, and iterative improvements.
Optimize data flows, queues, and storage for performance and reliability.
Harden security, auth, and multi-tenant controls across our platform.
Collaborate with founders and product to translate customer needs into shippable software.
Raise the bar on code quality through reviews, testing, and documentation.

Has cloud experience (required) — AWS preferred. (e.g., Lambda/ECS, API Gateway, DynamoDB/Postgres, S3, CloudWatch).
Is strong in one or more backend languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript/Node, Go) and modern API design (REST/GraphQL).
Understands distributed systems, reliability, and observability (tracing, metrics, logging).
Is comfortable with containers, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code (Docker, Terraform/CDK, etc.).
Communicates clearly, ships pragmatically, and enjoys fast iteration with real users.
Nice to Have
AI application development experience (LLM tooling, prompt/agent orchestration, vector search, model evaluation).
Background in developer tools, testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright), or security-minded systems design.
Our Tech Stack (Representative)
Python + TypeScript/Node
AWS (Lambda/ECS, API Gateway, DynamoDB/Postgres, S3, CloudWatch)
