We're looking for a Senior Backend & Infrastructure Engineer to join our core team and take ownership of critical backend systems that power the Verba mobile app.
This is not a maintenance role. This is a high-leverage, high-autonomy, high-impact position in a demanding, dynamic, result-oriented environment. We're looking for someone who doesn't just write code, but thinks in systems, acts with ownership, and thrives on shipping impactful solutions.
Technology Stack
Our current backend setup includes:
- Python as the main programming language;
- Google Cloud as our infrastructure provider;
- Pulumi as an infrastructure-as-code tool;
- Docker for … well, you know it.
Experience with or a strong curiosity about AI pipelines (especially how inference services are built, scaled and monitored) is the key.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Strategic Problem Solving: Approach backend initiatives from concept to execution with speed, quality, and clarity. Write technical proposals and brainstorm solutions with other team members.
- Architecture & Ownership: Design and implement the architecture of the Verba backend services to support high-performance, scalable pipelines.
- Deployment & Monitoring: Keep our CI/CD pipelines up to date, optimize cloud costs and ensure observability so that we always know how our services behave in production.
- Coaching & Collaboration: Mentor team members, contribute to our internal tools and documentation, and help us shape our engineering culture.
Who You Are
You thrive in ambitious environments and share our belief that the most effective engineers don’t work harder, they use smarter tools. You have:
- Proven experience designing and shipping production-grade backend services.
- Deep familiarity with Python, cloud platforms (GCP preferred), and DevOps toolchains.
- Understanding of how modern AI services operate.
- A builder's mindset, with a deep appreciation for speed and user value.
- A willingness to coach and be coached, and a desire to grow beyond your current limits.
What We Look For
- Complete Ownership: You treat challenges as your responsibility. No hand-holding required.
- Speed & Ambition: You iterate fast and aim high. You care about doing things right and doing them now.
- Team-first attitude: You win when the team wins. You support others even when no one’s watching.
- Curiosity & Adaptability: You love learning new systems, frameworks, and technologies.
Bonus Points For
- Experience with GPU/TPU workloads, Kubernetes, or serverless orchestration.
- Previous work on AI/ML infrastructure, media processing, or real-time services.
- Contributions to open-source tools or technical writing.
We’re not here to build fast and flip.
We’re here to compound — in code, in product, in people.
If that excites you more than it scares you — we’d love to meet.
Not just because it’s fair. But because ownership drives excellence — and excellence is non-negotiable.
