About the Role:
We are looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to join a fast-growing, well-funded Silicon Valley–based startup. This role offers a high level of ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to work in a collaborative, high-performance environment with competitive compensation.

Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop and deploy backend services with a focus on high availability, low latency and scalability

-
- Architect Distributed Systems: Design and implement robust microservices using Golang and Django that can handle concurrent processing of high-volume research data (e.g., video, audio, and large-scale text datasets).
- Optimize AI Workflows: Build and refine asynchronous task queues (using tools like Celery or Redis) to manage long-running AI inference tasks without impacting the responsiveness of the user-facing API.
- Database Performance: Design and maintain productive schemas for both relational databases (PostgreSQL) and specialized storage (Vector databases for AI search),



ensuring millisecond-level query performance as data scales into the millions of records.
- Load Management: Implement caching strategies and rate-limiting to protect service integrity during traffic spikes from global enterprise customers.
- Build and operate infrastructure, toolset and deployment pipelines

-
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Own and automate the provisioning of cloud resources on AWS (using Terraform or CloudFormation) to ensure environments are reproducible and scalable.
- CI/CD Optimization: Streamline the path from "code commit" to "production" by building automated testing and deployment pipelines that allow the team to ship multiple times a day with high confidence.
- Observability & Monitoring: Implement comprehensive logging, tracing, and alerting (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog) to proactively identify performance bottlenecks and system health issues before they affect users.
- Developer Experience: Create internal CLI tools or scripts t
