Remote Backend Django Engineer – AI & Algorithmic Systems

We’re a remote, product-focused startup building AI- and algorithm-driven systems, and we’re looking for a strong Backend Django Engineer who loves clean data models, well-designed APIs, and clever algorithms.

You’ll own core backend features end-to-end : from modeling the data to implementing the logic and exposing it through fast, reliable services that ship to users quickly, working with a small distributed team across several countries.

What You’ll Do

• Design and implement  backend services   and APIs  using  Python   + Django  (and DRF or similar).
• Model and evolve our domain in the database with  clean, well-structured schema s and relationships.
• Implement  algorithmic / AI logic  in the backend (e.g., scoring, ranking, routing, decision rules).
• Write  pragmatic, production-ready code  that’s easy to reason about and iterate on.
• Optimize for  correctness and performance : efficient queries, smart indexing, and lean responses.
• Work with the team to turn product ideas into  concrete technical designs and endpoints.
• Help shape how we build things : patterns, conventions, and how we ship and iterate as we grow.

What We’re Looking For

Bonus Points For

This role is a  central piece of our backend roadmap , and we’re aiming to fill it quickly once we meet the right person. If it resonates with you,  go ahead and apply now.
