Backend Engineer

Mannelly Recruitment

Backend Engineer - San Francisco, California Job#16869689

A well-funded, early-stage AI company in San Francisco, backed by a top-tier accelerator and respected investors, is hiring ten Backend Engineers as its engineering team grows. The company uses artificial intelligence and group purchasing to help businesses cut their cloud bills, and it is about to launch a new large language model product. In this onsite role, you will own backend projects from start to finish on a flat team with no silos, design, build and scale the services and infrastructure behind the savings platform, help create the new LLM product, work every day alongside the founding engineers and a CEO who codes with the team, and raise the bar through code reviews, better development workflows, CI/CD and system reliability.

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer, Senior Backend Engineer, Software Engineer or Senior Software Engineer
  • Undergraduate degree in computer science or engineering from a top university
  • Experience at a fast-paced B2B startup, at AWS, or at a larger technology company
  • Excellent system design skills
  • Current authorization to work in the United States; visa transfers (TN or H1B) are considered, but new visa sponsorship is not available
  • Helpful: Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, DynamoDB, cloud cost tooling or large language models
Location
  • San Francisco offers hiking, beaches and waterfront trails just minutes from downtown. Neighborhoods from the Mission to the Sunset give renters and buyers many housing choices, and UCSF, the University of San Francisco and San Francisco State anchor the local education scene. It is also one of the nation's busiest hubs for AI and software startups, so engineering jobs and investors are close by.
