Backend Software Engineer (AI Systems & Automation)

We’re looking for an AI-enabled, product-minded Backend Software Engineer to strengthen the technical foundation of a global, digital-first higher education institution.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience in a product-focused startup environment
• Backend-leaning engineering profile
• Demonstrated experience integrating AI into production systems and workflows
• Practical experience using Claude Code or comparable AI coding copilots in real development environments
• Strong system design fundamentals including databases, service architectures, and distributed systems
• Experience working in fast-paced or scaling startups
• Background in product companies (not services, agency, or consulting-heavy environments)
• Strong ownership mindset with ability to work autonomously
• Comfort working during US business hours

Benefits

• Paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
• Up to 14 days of Paid Time Off annually (starting Day 1)
• Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you’re most productive
