Remote Backend Django Engineer – AI & Algorithmic Systems

We’re a remote, product-focused startup building AI- and algorithm-driven systems, and we’re looking for a strong Backend Django Engineer who loves clean data models, well-designed APIs, and clever algorithms.

You’ll own core backend features end-to-end

from modeling the data to implementing the logic and exposing it through fast, reliable services that ship to users quickly, working with a small distributed team across several countries.

💰 **$100 bonus**

After successfully completing the assessment. To receive the assessment,

please submit your resume to this job application. If your resume is approved, you'll receive the

assessment afterwards.

### What You’ll Do

• Design and implement **backend services** **and APIs** using **Python** **+ Django** (and DRF or similar).
• Model and evolve our domain in the database with **clean, well-structured schema** s and relationships.
• Implement **algorithmic/AI logic** in the backend (e.g., scoring, ranking, routing, decision rules).
• Write **pragmatic, production-ready code** that’s easy to reason about and iterate on.

Optimize for **correctness and performance**

efficient queries, smart indexing, and lean responses.

• Work with the team to turn product ideas into **concrete technical designs and endpoints.**

Help shape how we build things

patterns, conventions, and how we ship and iterate as we grow.

### What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience building backend applications with **Python + Django**.
• Solid understanding of **relational data modeling** and **SQL** (we use PostgreSQL).
• Comfortable designing and building **RESTful APIs** (bonus if you’ve used DRF or similar frameworks).
• Experience working on **non-trivial business logic or algorithms** (e.g., decision flows, scoring rules, optimization logic).

Good instincts around **performance**

understanding query behavior, avoiding obvious pitfalls, and using caching when it counts.

A **startup mindset**

comfortable with ambiguity, moving fast, and iterating based on real-world feedback.

• Ability to work **independently in a remote environment** and communicate clearly.

### Bonus Points For

• Experience in **startups, side projects, or hackathons** where you’ve had to ship scrappy solutions fast.
• Background in **algorithms, optimization, or data-heavy systems.**
• Experience with **Google Cloud Platform (GCP)** in production.
• Familiarity with **Redis** (caching, queues) and **PostgreSQL** at some scale.
• Exposure to **containers and orchestration** (Docker, Kubernetes) and/or serverless on GCP.

This role is a **central piece of our backend roadmap** , and we’re aiming to fill it quickly once we meet the right person. If it resonates with you, **go ahead and apply now.**
