You will contribute to systems that process billions of orders annually, supporting merchants across leading marketplaces and online stores worldwide. Working in a fully remote, async-first engineering environment, you will join a team that values autonomy, clarity, and high-quality engineering practices over meeting-heavy workflows. The position involves solving complex scalability and performance challenges as the platform expands into new B2B use cases and higher-volume operations. You will also help integrate AI into engineering workflows, improving development efficiency, testing, and system reliability. This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned Python engineer who enjoys building robust systems, improving architecture, and working collaboratively in a product-driven, distributed team.

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable backend services and features using Python within a distributed, high-traffic e-commerce fulfillment platform.
• Own features end-to-end, from requirement analysis and system design to implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
• Contribute to the evolution of a large-scale Warehouse Management System, ensuring performance, reliability, and maintainability at high volumes.
• Participate in thoughtful code reviews, ensuring high engineering standards while mentoring and supporting team growth.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineers and product stakeholders to deliver clear, consistent, and scalable technical solutions.
• Identify opportunities to optimize existing systems, reduce technical debt, and improve development workflows and CI practices.
• Support the integration of AI tools and practices into engineering processes, including coding, testing, and operational workflows.
• Write clean, well-documented, and maintainable code aligned with best practices and long-term system scalability.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional experience developing software with Python in production environments.
• Proven experience building and maintaining scalable backend systems or distributed applications.
• Strong understanding of software engineering principles, including system design, testing, CI/CD, and technical debt management.
• Experience working in complex, high-scale environments with performance and reliability constraints.
• Familiarity or hands-on experience using AI tools or applying AI concepts to improve engineering workflows is highly valued.
• Strong collaboration skills with experience in code reviews, mentoring, and knowledge sharing across engineering teams.
• Ability to work independently in an async-first, remote environment with strong ownership and accountability.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a pragmatic approach to building maintainable, production-ready systems.

Benefits:

• Fully remote, async-first working model with flexible working hours.
• Opportunity to work on a high-scale global platform processing billions of transactions annually.
• Competitive salary range of $75,000 – $90,000 depending on experience and location.
• Strong engineering culture focused on quality, learning, and continuous improvement.
• Minimal meeting environment with structured weekly planning instead of daily standups.
• High autonomy and ownership over features and technical decisions.
• Exposure to cutting-edge AI integration within engineering workflows and systems.
• Collaborative and supportive team environment focused on long-term engineering excellence.
