About the Role
Join a small, fast-moving engineering team building the backbone of an AI-powered supply chain platform for Consumer Packaged Goods companies. As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll own backend systems end-to-end — turning messy, real-world logistics data into programmable, reliable infrastructure that scales globally.
What You'll Do
-
Design and implement backend systems that power AI-driven supply chain planning and execution decisions.
-
Architect data models and pipelines to ingest and organise complex, real-world supply chain data.
-
Ensure user requests and supply plans are processed in real time with high reliability.
-
Build scalable, high-performance SQL queries and data access patterns over large datasets.
-
Ship production-grade services using modern backend frameworks and rigorous testing practices.
-
Collaborate closely with product and engineering to translate logistics workflows into software.
-
Operate and improve deployment and runbook processes to maintain 24/7 system availability.
What We're Looking For
-
5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience with a track record of shipping real products.
-
Strong Python expertise and experience with modern backend frameworks such as FastAPI and testing tools like pytest.
-
Proficiency with AI-assisted code generation and management tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex), including experience parallelising instances for continuous operation.
-
Proven ability to design scalable data architectures and own backend systems end-to-end, including real-time request processing.
-
Strong SQL skills and experience writing high-performance queries across millions of records.
-
Experience ingesting and organising unstructured, messy real-world data.
-
Familiarity with DevOps practices and cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).
-
Bonus: experience with frontend frameworks and their testing.
-
Comfortable working with minimal supervision in a small, fast-paced startup environment.
