SENIOR Backend Engineer – Remote (INDONESIAN ONLY)

We are partnering with a fast-growing, mission-driven SaaS company in the AgTech sector, transforming how global supply chains operate. Their platform powers real-time data transparency, sustainability tracking, and regulatory compliance across agriculture and forestry ecosystems.

This is your chance to build meaningful software with real-world impact — while enjoying a healthy work-life balance (including a four-day work week!)


The Role

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will architect and develop backend services and APIs using Python and FastAPI, ensuring performance, reliability, and scalability. You’ll work in a highly collaborative environment, contributing to core platform components that support data-heavy, geospatial-driven workflows. You’ll also play a key role in helping the team adopt best practices, automation, testing, and modern cloud engineering patterns.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services using Python & FastAPI.
  • Develop and optimize data access layers using SQLAlchemy Core and PostgreSQL.
  • Implement caching, queueing, and performance optimization workflows (Redis, asyncio).
  • Build and deploy containerized applications using Docker and AWS-based architecture.
  • Apply test-driven development practices (pytest) to ensure robust and maintainable code.
  • Participate in Agile ceremonies and collaborate across engineering, product, and data teams.
  • Document system architecture, workflows, and technical decisions using Confluence/Jira.
  • Ensure high coding standards, scalability, and clean code principles across the codebase.


What We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer.

Strong experience with:

  • Python, FastAPI, asyncio, MySQL, SQLAlchemy Core, PostgreSQL, Redis AWS, Docker, and configuration tools (Ansible preferred).
  • Familiarity with agile development environments (Scrum or Kanban).
  • Comfortable in fast-paced, iterative, startup/scale-up environments.
  • Solid understanding of testing practices and TDD (pytest).
  • Proficient with code collaboration tools: Git, Jira, Confluence.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.
  • Clear communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional & international teams.
  • Advanced proficiency in English (written and spoken).


Bonus Points

  • Prior work with geospatial data or mapping products.


Why You’ll Love It Here

  • 4 - Day Work Week
  • Learning and Development Budget
  • Device Provided
  • 100% remote role – work from anywhere in Indonesia
  • Highly collaborative, mission-driven engineering culture
