About the role
Backend Engineering
Design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable backend services that process financial transactions and serve Jeeves customers across 20+ countries.
Write clean, testable, production-quality code in Go, Python, or Node.js/TypeScript; participate actively in design and code reviews.
Build and consume RESTful and GraphQL APIs; design inter-service communication using gRPC, message queues, and event-driven architectures.
Design and optimize relational and non-relational database schemas (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis) for correctness, performance, and scale.
Own backend features end-to-end — from scoping and technical design through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.
Implement security best practices: authentication, authorization, input validation, and data protection across distributed services.
AI-Assisted Feature Development
Integrate LLM API calls (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) into backend services as product features — such as spend categorization, document parsing, or natural language workflows — ensuring those integrations are reliable, observable, and cost-efficient.
Build backend pipelines that consume AI-generated outputs safely: validate structured outputs, handle fallback scenarios, and design graceful degradation when AI services are unavailable or return low-confidence results.
Collaborate with AI and data science teams to integrate model outputs into backend APIs — bridging experimental AI work and production systems.
Use AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Cursor, etc.) fluently as part of your everyday development workflow.
Reliability & Operations
Instrument services with structured logging, distributed tracing, and metrics for full operational visibility.
Participate in on-call rotation; respond to production incidents and contribute to post-incident reviews.
Contribute to CI/CD pipeline improvements, testing infrastructure, and deployment practices.
Cross-Regional Collaboration
Work closely with engineering, product, compliance, and data teams across multiple time zones and regions — communicating in both English and Spanish or Portuguese as the situation requires.
Contribute to a globally distributed engineering culture through thorough documentation, async design reviews, and thoughtful pull request feedback.
Bring your regional perspective to product and engineering conversations — our LATAM customers have specific needs, and engineers who understand those markets make our product better.
