Lead Backend Engineer

💡 What if your next build powered AI systems running at the edge of defense, space, and autonomy?

🚀 My client — a stealth-stage deep tech startup — is hiring a Lead Backend Engineer (Python) (Remote, U.S.)

They’re automating how high-level code becomes deployable, optimized binaries across CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs — turning research prototypes into mission-ready software.

The role:

 ✅ Design architecture, schemas (Postgres/PostGIS), and CI/CD for real deployments

 ✅ Collaborate with AI + modeling teams to ship performant, production APIs

 ✅ Lead backend design, mentor engineers, and define engineering best practices

Why join?

 🌎 Remote across U.S. (Citizen or Green Card)

 💰 Competitive comp + equity + full benefits

 ⚙️ Build where compilers, AI, and mission systems converge

 🤝 Low-ego, high-ownership engineering culture
