📋 Description

• Build and ship backend features for Taktile's AI agent platform in Python (FastAPI), deployed on AWS serverless infrastructure. • Own your work end-to-end: collaborate on scope, implement, test, release, and iterate based on real usage and customer feedback. • Improve how agents run, how they connect to external tools, and how they behave when something goes wrong. • Use leading-edge AI tools (e.g. Claude) on a daily basis to move faster, improve quality, and build AI-native capabilities where it makes sense. • Review pull requests with depth, improve test coverage and CI/CD, and raise the bar on reliability and engineering excellence. • Engage actively in team rituals such as daily syncs, planning sessions, demos, and technical deep-dive discussions. • Grow as an individual and accelerate your career by learning from experienced team members, contributing to a foundational layer of the product, and joining cross-team learning groups. • For career growth at Taktile, this role will involve daytime ops duty and at some point joining an on-call rotation, so you need to have passion for owning systems end to end and grow your DevSecOps skills as well.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong engineering fundamentals with a passion for simplicity and precision. • Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential as we operate in a remote environment requiring clear and effective communication. • Prior industry experience with Python back-end development (this is not an entry-level position). • Experience building and operating RESTful APIs and working with databases. • Experience integrating into AWS or similar cloud providers. • Ideally, but not required: FastAPI and Pydantic experience. • Ideally, but not required: DynamoDB or Postgres, SQLAlchemy. • Ideally, but not required: Exposure to LLM application development, agent frameworks, or building developer tools. • Ideally, but not required: Prior ops or on-call experience. • Ideally, but not required: Experience with distributed systems, async task processing, or observability tooling (tracing, metrics, logging).

🏖️ Benefits

• Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you and help you grow. • Experience a truly flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members. • Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth. • Get access to a self-development budget you can use to e.g. attend conferences, buy books or take classes. • Receive a new Apple MacBook Pro, as well as meaningful home office set-up.
