Lead Software Engineer
Summary
Lead a small team building an AI-powered customer-experience platform; write Python/Django services on AWS, own end-to-end features, and integrate LLM pipelines.
What you\'ll be doing
This role suits someone who likes variety. The work spans infrastructure, integrations, AI pipelines, the product, our CI, customer calls, and internal projects. You\'d move between them as the work demands.
You\'ll like it here if
- You\'d rather work across the product than own one narrow slice of it
- You\'re happy picking up something you\'ve not done before
- You\'re drawn to the variety rather than wary of it
- We\'re not expecting all of this on day one, or that you\'ve done it all before.
What you\'ll be using
Backend: Python and Django, on a service-based architecture with a strong focus on multi-tenant data isolation.
Cloud and infrastructure: AWS, managed with Pulumi. ECS/Fargate, Docker, ALB, SQS, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, ElastiCache, WAF, CloudWatch, and more.
What we\'re looking for
You don\'t need our exact stack. We care more that you\'re a strong engineer who picks things up fast. If you\'ve built and run production systems in another language or framework, we\'d like to see your CV.
It helps if you\'ve worked with some of:
- Python, or another backend language you know well.
- Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
- A relational database like Postgres.
- AWS, or another cloud (ECS/Fargate, Lambda, SQS, S3, or the equivalents).
- Docker.
- Infrastructure as code (Pulumi, Terraform, or similar).
- LLM and AI integrations, or event-driven pipelines. A plus, not a must.
- It\'s also a plus if you\'re someone comfortable working with customers directly.
