Senior Backend Engineer

Dora AI

Dora AI

Software Engineering · Full-time
San Francisco, CA, USA
Posted on Dec 3, 2025

> You might be a good fit if you:

  • Want to help build the next generation of AI-powered workflow orchestration that solves high value business problems
  • Enjoy owning features end to end — from design and implementation to deployment and iteration.
  • Are interested in growing into a leadership role as the company scales, including mentoring other engineers over time.
  • Have experience with technologies like Go, Kafka, MongoDB, Temporal, or similar backend stacks. This isn’t a strict checklist, any adjacent experience here is valuable. We prefer to hire smart engineers because they can grow into any position.
  • Are excited about joining a high performance software engineering team, that works hard but also plays hard too.

> This role may not be the right fit if you:

  • Are looking for a strict 9–5. As an early-stage startup, we work long hours and push 70h/week whenever required.
  • Are afraid to jump out of your comfort zone whether if it comes to learning a new tech stack or performing duties outside of your job role. This is a startup and everyday is different.
  • Want very tightly defined scopes and processes. You'll be dealing with a ton of ambiguity and we need people on the team that can navigate it
Dora AI is an equal opportunity employer.
