What You'll Do: Backend Engineering

- Design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable backend services that process financial transactions and serve Jeeves customers across 20+ countries.

- Write clean, testable, production-quality code in Go, Python, or Node.js/TypeScript; participate actively in design and code reviews.

- Build and consume RESTful and GraphQL APIs; design inter-service communication using gRPC, message queues, and event-driven architectures.

- Design and optimize relational and non-relational database schemas (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis) for correctness, performance, and scale.

- Own backend features end-to-end — from scoping and technical design through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.

- Implement security best practices: authentication, authorization, input validation, and data protection across distributed services.

AI-Assisted Feature Development

- Integrate LLM API calls (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) into backend services as product features — such as spend categorization, document parsing, or natural language workflows — ensuring those integrations are reliable, observable, and cost-efficient.

- Build backend pipelines that consume AI-generated outputs safely: validate structured outputs, handle fallback scenarios, and design graceful degradation when AI services are unavailable or return low-confidence results.
