Senior Software Engineer (Talent Matching Software)

Join our team as a Senior Software Engineer, where you will build the core software behind our talent matching system. You will design, build, and operate the backend services and APIs that power talent matching in production. This is a hands-on role for an engineer with strong Python skills and experience in building production APIs and backend services at scale.

• Design, build, and operate the backend services and APIs that power talent matching in production.
• Collaborate with Data Science to take their matching and language models from prototype to reliable production services.
• Use AI-assisted development daily to design, write, test, and review code, and help set our standards for it.
• Fluency with AI-assisted development: building with coding agents and LLM tools is part of your normal workflow
• 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong Python skills
• Strong fundamentals in testing, observability, and debugging across distributed systems
• Comfortable in a stack like ours: Python on AWS, infrastructure as code using CDK, asynchronous services over SQS, and Postgres (with VectorChord for vector search)
• Hands-on experience designing and operating production APIs and backend services at scale
• Staffing, recruiting, or HR tech experience is a plus
• Nice to have: experience close to AI/ML systems, such as model serving, retrieval, or evaluation harnesses
• Nice to have: experience with small language models (SLMs), including fine-tuning, evaluation, or serving them in production
• Experience designing asynchronous APIs (queues, events, webhooks, or streaming) and reasoning about concurrency
