Backend Developer – Laravel / PostgreSQL / AWS

Summary

Build and own the backend for real-time AI assistants used in malls, airports, and stadiums, using Python, Django, PostgreSQL, and GCP.

We’re hiring a Founding Senior BackEnd Engineer — someone who wants to design, build and own the entire backend and systems architecture.

This is not a maintenance role. It’s a founding role, with high phantom-share compensation, where you will shape the core platform that powers real-time AI assistants used by millions of visitors across malls, airports, stadiums and resorts.

You'll own the backend, APIs, microservices, data flows, real-time orchestration, and ML integrations end-to-end—ensuring performance, security, and scalability as we expand across international portfolios.

This role sits at the intersection of AI, product engineering, infrastructure, data architecture, and ML operations.

  • Build scalable APIs, workers, queues, and real-time systems on GCP + Cloud Run + Cloud SQL.
  • Implement integrations with CRMs, CMSs, booking systems, loyalty platforms, and external APIs.
  • Develop backend support for AI agents: retrieval APIs, embeddings, vector DB, inference services.
  • Build and maintain event pipelines for analytics, ML, and product insights.
  • Ensure system security, observability, monitoring, logging, and CI/CD best practices.
  • Collaborate with Product & AI teams to define technical architecture and implement new features quickly.
  • Own migrations, deployments, environments, CI/CD, and platform reliability.

  • Familiarity with LLM integrations, retrieval pipelines, or vector DBs (Qdrant) is a plus.
