Kuvaka builds open-source AI solutions for healthcare, manufacturing, and enterprise — and delivers customisation into client businesses through senior engineering pods in fixed 7-day sprints. Every solution we ship is production-grade, every engagement is transparent, and every engineer on our team works with full ownership of what they build.
We are an AI-first company with real products, real clients, and a culture built on reliability and craftsmanship. If you want to build systems that run at scale, this is the right place.
The Role
You're building systems that power AI workflows — REST APIs that handle concurrent requests, databases that don't lose data, deployments that don't wake you up at 3 AM. You understand that backend isn't just about making things work; it's about making them work reliably.
You won't be writing microservices in a vacuum. Your APIs feed mobile apps, web interfaces, and integrations. Your database decisions matter. Your deployments get reviewed. Your code runs in production, and you're the one who fixes it when it breaks.
Frontend work exists, but you're being hired because the backend is the constraint. Frontend will evolve. The API is permanent.
What You Will Do
Design and build REST APIs using Python, Django, and Django REST Framework.
Write effective SQL queries, optimise indexes, and manage relational databases under load.
Implement secure authentication, authorisation, and role-based access control.
Deploy backend services using Docker and containerised workflows.
Build CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
Debug production issues and ship fixes with minimal ceremony.
Collaborate closely with frontend teams on API contracts and data flow.
Write clean, testable code and participate in code reviews.
Participate in sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives.
What We Are Looking For
1+ years of production experience with Python and Django — non-negotiable.
Demonstrable experience building
