Software Engineer, Backend
Mirage, Union Square, New York City
The role
Backend engineering at Mirage isn’t narrowly defined. We work across product, platform, and machine learning—building the systems, services, APIs, and ML pipelines that power all of our product surfaces.
You’ll own critical backend systems end-to-end, partnering closely with product, design, client, and AI teams to turn ambitious ideas into reliable, scalable production systems. This opportunity is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving complex technical problems while staying connected to product and user outcomes.
While we don’t use hierarchical titles or levels internally, we are currently hiring engineers who have operated at senior or staff+ scope.
What you will do
- Design, build, and own backend systems end-to-end, including services, APIs, data pipelines, and infrastructure that power our products
- Solve complex technical challenges across distributed systems, scaling, concurrency, and performance
- Integrate and operate large generative AI models in production—deploying, serving, and scaling systems that combine internal research and external capabilities to unlock new product experiences.
