Senior Backend Engineer at Adaptiq – Remote | Jobyssey

Who we are:

Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies across a wide range of industries.

About the Product:

We partner with a fast-growing technology company building an AI-powered cloud platform that helps organizations process large volumes of data, generate actionable insights, and automate complex workflows.

Built as a cloud-native SaaS solution, the platform processes millions of events daily and leverages a distributed microservices architecture on AWS to deliver high availability, scalability, and performance. By combining machine learning, automation, and real-time data processing, the platform enables organizations to improve operational efficiency and make faster, data-driven decisions.

About the Role:

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will own critical platform services end-to-end—from feature definition and API design to implementation, testing, deployment, and production support. You will join a cross-functional team responsible for high-performance backend systems and data pipelines that power intelligent analytics, large-scale event processing, and workflow automation.

This role demands deep expertise in Python development, cloud platforms, and container orchestration, along with a mindset for automation, reliability, and AI-assisted development. You will influence the technical roadmap, mentor peers, participate in architecture reviews, and ensure the platform scales reliably under high-volume production workloads.

At least 8+ years of professional backend development experience, including at least 4-5 years working with Python.
Proven track record designing and maintaining robust, scalable APIs and services.
Strong proficiency with SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (Redis) databases, data modeling, and query optimization.
Hands-on experience with AWS or equivalent cloud platforms and core managed services.
Solid understanding of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes/EKS).
Hands-on experience using AI-powered development tools and coding agents (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) to accelerate software delivery and improve code quality.
Experience building distributed microservices and event-driven systems at scale.
Demonstrated ability to own production systems, participate in on-call support, and resolve incidents effectively.
Excellent problem-solving skills, system design expertise, and clear technical communication.
Familiarity with automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tools.

Nice to Have:

Experience with Python web frameworks such as Django, Flask, or FastAPI.
Familiarity with SQLAlchemy or other ORM libraries.
Knowledge of search and analytics platforms such as Elasticsearch or OpenSearch.
Background in large-scale distributed systems, data-intensive platforms, or real-time event processing.
Experience working with enterprise SaaS products, cloud platforms, or highly regulated environments.
