About ApplyRyt:

ApplyRyt is a technology-enabled job application platform that manages the end-to-end job search process on behalf of its clients. Our platform combines automated application processing with a dedicated operations team, and supports the complete client lifecycle including onboarding, subscription billing, application tracking, and internal workforce management.

Position Summary:

We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to take technical ownership of our document generation and job qualification pipeline — a distributed Python system that processes application volume continuously and produces tailored resume and cover letter documents at scale.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the reliability, performance, and cost efficiency of this pipeline, and will lead its consolidation into a unified, well-instrumented platform. This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Founder, with full ownership of the backend processing domain.

Key Responsibilities:

Assume end-to-end ownership of the Python processing pipeline,



comprising multiple FastAPI services and long-running background workers deployed as containerised applications.
Consolidate the existing services into a unified, modular codebase with shared internal libraries, standardised configuration, and a single source of truth for common components.
Lead the architectural refactoring of high-complexity processing modules to improve maintainability, testability, and throughput.
Design and implement structured logging, metrics, monitoring, and alerting across the worker fleet, replacing ad hoc instrumentation with production-grade observability.
Own the concurrency and scheduling model of the worker pool, including job prioritisation, retry and backoff behaviour, stuck-job recovery, and graceful shutdown.
Manage integration with third-party LLM providers, including API key pooling, rate limit handling, quota management, and monitoring of per-unit processing cost.
