Back End Developer

Requirements

• Minimum 3 years of experience building and operating production backend services.
• Strong relational data modelling skills, including multi-tenant or access-scoped designs.
• Solid understanding of asynchronous processing, background workers, queues, and how to handle partial failures.
• Experience designing and versioning APIs for consumers whose systems cannot be changed at the same time as yours.
• Experience taking responsibility for production correctness, including data integrity, access isolation, and operational issues.

The backend stack includes:

• Languages: Python and TypeScript.
• APIs and services: FastAPI and Node.js.
• Data: PostgreSQL and Redis.
• Asynchronous processing: Celery, message queues, and background workers.
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Observability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana.
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions.
• Architecture: Multi-tenant services, event-driven processing, and REST APIs.

Live2.ai hires for engineering judgment rather than familiarity with a particular framework. You will be asked which part of the stack you would prefer to start with.

Nice to have:

• Experience in regulated, audited, or other domains where failures have significant consequences.
• Experience with real-time or streaming systems.
• Experience working productively across multiple languages and ecosystems.
• Experience improving performance in data-heavy systems.
• Experience supporting enterprise integrations.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate backend services with strict data integrity and isolation requirements.
• Design data models for multi-tenant systems and maintain their correctness under delivery pressure.
• Build asynchronous and queue-based processing that handles failures midway through a workflow.
• Design and maintain APIs used by internal teams and enterprise customers.
• Version APIs carefully to protect existing integrations.
• Own services after deployment, including production issues and on-call responsibilities.
