About the Position

We are seeking a Backend Developer with 5+ years of experience to join our team in Medellin, CO, working remotely. You will be responsible for taking a problem from a half-formed business idea to a running production system. This role involves backend-focused, full-stack development, with a significant emphasis on backend work and AI integration.

Responsibilities

Take ambiguous or high-level requirements, clarify the real problem, and turn it into a clear technical proposal.
Surface risks early, weigh the tradeoffs, pick a direction, and be ready to defend the decision later.
Build and release the work yourself, then own it in production, including the bugs, incidents, and scaling problems that follow.
Split your time roughly 60–70% backend and 30–40% frontend.
Integrate AI into production systems, working through orchestration, high-throughput workloads, workload management, and the design of solutions that hold up at scale.
Work directly with architects, senior engineers, and product and business stakeholders rather than waiting for fully specified tasks.

Requirements

More than five years of professional experience in software development.
Comfortable with system design and architecture tradeoffs.
Knowledgeable in scalability, maintainability, and testing.
Experienced in release strategy, debugging, and production support.
Hands-on experience with releases, real incidents, and scalability concerns.
Exposure to strong engineering standards across different teams and contexts.

We Offer

Flexible working hours and remote work options.
Collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment.
Diverse, multicultural team that fosters learning and personal growth.
Personalized career development plan and training programs.
Opportunity to work on high-impact projects with leading industry clients.
