We’re hiring a Senior Python Backend Developer who actively uses AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code) as part of their daily workflow. You’ll be taking ownership of a complex FastAPI backend powering a consumer-facing geospatial platform — managing integrations, data processing, and fulfilment orchestration.
Responsibilities: * Own and evolve a FastAPI backend with multiple API routes, database models, and external service integrations * Implement features and resolve bugs using AI coding tools as your primary workflow * Work with geospatial data — ship tracking (AIS), route processing, coordinate transformations * Maintain and extend integrations with Stripe, Shopify, Supabase Auth, print fulfilment APIs * Navigate and improve an existing codebase — architecture, dependencies, tech debt * Write and maintain tests (pytest), follow TDD: write tests first, validate failure, implement, verify * Maintain per-feature documentation (MD files) * Ship fast, iterate, communicate blockers
Requirements: * 4+ years of production Python experience (FastAPI or similar async frameworks) * Strong SQLAlchemy / PostgreSQL skills (complex queries, ORM patterns, performance) * Experience integrating third-party APIs (payment, e-commerce, webhooks) * Mandatory: daily working experience with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools * Mandatory: demonstrated ability to leverage AI effectively — prompt engineering, reviewing AI output, steering implementations toward production quality * Comfortable with AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager — or equivalent cloud) * Strong debugging skills — catch and correct AI-generated mistakes * Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar codebases and spot issues * Self-driven, proactive, no hand-holding needed * English: working proficiency (async team communication)
Nice to Have: * Geospatial/GIS experience (Shapely, GDAL/Fiona, GeoJSON) * Experience with Shopify API or Stripe integration * Familiarity with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code * Docker and container orchestration (ECS Fargate) * Understanding of multi-agent AI systems
Recruitment Process: * HR and Final Interviews * Job Offer
We Offer: * Fully remote — work from anywhere * AI-first engineering culture * Ownership of a complex, real-world product backend from day one * Generous time off — 20 vacation + 15 sick days annually
