Senior Backend Engineer - Certification Platform

A fast-growing software startup is building next-generation tools for companies that certify complex hardware and software systems, industries like aerospace, healthcare, and energy. While software innovation moves quickly, these sectors are still held back by slow, manual processes. This company is changing that by creating a modern platform that accelerates certification and compliance.

Recently, they’ve seen strong early traction, six-figure revenue within the first few months, and have raised an oversubscribed $4.5M seed round from top-tier investors behind companies like Coinbase, Reddit, and Spotify.

What They’re Looking For

They want builders, engineers who thrive on solving tough problems, take full ownership, and move fast. Ideal candidates have:

• 2+ years of experience delivering production-grade systems.
• Strong backend skills in Python, TypeScript, Go, or Rust.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, APIs, and infrastructure (AWS + Pulumi a plus).
• A founder’s mindset: proactive, resourceful, and comfortable wearing multiple hats.

Your First Month

You’ll deploy to production from day one, own features end-to-end, and help shape both the product and the company. Expect to work on everything from scaling infrastructure to joining customer calls — whatever it takes to move things forward.
