Backend Developer ( Python, NodeJS, AWS, Postgres)

Summary

We're looking for a skilled and adaptable Backend Developer to join our engineering team and help build robust, scalable backend systems using an AI-first development approach. The ideal candidate is comfortable leveraging AI code generation tools — particularly Claude's coding tools — to accelerate backend development, from API design to database architecture. You'll bring strong hands-on expertise in Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, and AWS, along with sharp prompt engineering skills and the ability to independently break down complex backend problems into clean, well-architected solutions.

Responsibilities

• AI-First Backend Development: Use AI code generation tools (especially Claude's coding tools) to design, build, and ship backend services and APIs, starting from detailed, well-structured prompts
• Prompt Engineering: Apply advanced prompt engineering techniques and strong written English to precisely define requirements and generate high-quality, production-ready backend code
• Core Backend Engineering: Build and maintain performant, secure backend services using Node.js and Python
• Database Architecture: Design efficient, scalable schemas and queries in PostgreSQL, with attention to indexing, optimization, and data integrity
• API Design: Architect clean, well-documented RESTful (or GraphQL) APIs that are easy to consume, extend, and maintain
• Cloud Deployment & Monitoring: Deploy, manage, and monitor backend infrastructure on AWS (e.g., Lambda, EC2, API Gateway, S3, RDS), ensuring high availability and reliability
• Problem Decomposition: Break down complex backend and system-design problems into clear components, and translate them into effective prompts for AI-assisted code generation
• Documentation & Communication: Maintain clear documentation of AI-generated code, architectural decisions, and system design; communicate effectively with cross-functional teams
• Research & Innovation: Stay current with advancements in AI-assisted coding, prompt engineering, backend frameworks, and AWS services
