Senior Software Engineer

WHAT TO EXPECT:

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a strong backend foundation and a startup mindset to join our fast-growing Growth & Insights team—this time with a new challenge. You won’t just be building products from scratch; instead, you’ll step into a pivotal role supporting and evolving two actively growing SaaS platforms: ASAI and Press Play. This is an opportunity to shape product maturity, scale features, and reduce incidents—without compromising on creativity or autonomy.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Resolve live incidents and manage ad hoc stakeholder requests, especially data-related issues impacting analysts and clients.
• Build new features and evolve existing ones across ASAI and Press Play, helping shift both products toward greater autonomy and self-service.
• Reduce technical debt and improve system reliability through pragmatic problem-solving and robust engineering.
• Switch seamlessly between short-term reactive work (bug fixes, support) and longer-term proactive work (feature development, architectural improvements).
• Work hands-on with relational and NoSQL databases (MySQL and BigQuery in particular), ensuring performance, scalability, and resilience.
• Collaborate directly with engineers, analysts, product managers, and the team lead.
• Help build and maintain a healthy DevOps pipeline across GCP, with ownership over incident response, app stability, and API performance.
• Contribute to team practices (e.g., testing, documentation, and coding standards), while bringing a founder-like sense of ownership to your work.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 6+ years of experience in backend or full-stack development, preferably in fast-paced or startup environments.
• Experience with AI coding tools like Copilot, Cursor, or Windsurf
• Strong expertise in Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, async processing, scheduling tools like Composer/Airflow).
• Solid knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, and React.
• Comfortable navigating cloud environments, preferably Google Cloud Platform.
• Deep experience with database design and management, including:
• Relational databases (MySQL or PostgreSQL)
• NoSQL systems (especially Google BigQuery)
• Query optimization, data modeling, and debugging performance bottlenecks
• Hands-on experience with API design, CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker), and automated testing (unit + E2E frameworks).
• Sharp debugging skills and a solutions-oriented mindset—you enjoy the challenge of resolving system issues.
• Confidence in ownership, independent delivery, and navigating ambiguity.
