About the Position

Senior Backend Software Engineer (US-based) - Part-time Contract, ~3 weeks | 🔥 Urgent

We're looking for a strong Senior Backend Engineer to join an existing client team and add engineering bandwidth during a critical push tied to a major distribution deal!

About the Engagement

This is a short-term, part-time contract (~3 weeks) - not a full-time hire. The architecture and roadmap are already defined; the client needs a hands-on senior engineer who can plug into the team fast and execute. In their words: "We need bandwidth."

Responsibilities

  • Help build MCP (Model Context Protocol) support for existing production features of the KnowMe.com platform.
  • This is an execution-focused task, not R&D - well-scoped work that simply needs more hands, quickly.

Requirements

  • Senior Backend Software Engineer
  • Strong API development & integrations experience
  • Hands-on experience with crawlers / web crawling
  • Nice to have: AI/LLM integrations or MCP experience

Additional Requirements

  • Must be US-based (international candidates are not considered at this time due to equipment logistics and background check timelines)
  • Willing to sign an NDA and complete a background check (client is SOC2-compliant)
  • Company laptop will be provided

Hiring Process

  1. Screening call
  2. Technical interview
  3. Live practical test with full screen sharing
  4. Fast start upon successful completion

⚡ Timing is critical - the client needs someone onboarded ASAP. If this sounds like you or someone in your network, please reach out immediately.
