Senior Backend Engineer

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
