Backend Engineer
UK - Remote
You love solving complicated backend problems but hate being told exactly how that should happen.
There are plenty of hard problems for you to solve in this business. Their product uses AI to produce, enrich, and narrate media. They are using AI to do the heavy lifting based on what the technology is already good at. Their digital studio lets their customers create content straight from text, creating audiobooks, adverts or podcasts without having to pay for voice artists, sound editors or studio time. Users can also import existing content and decompose it into individual elements or building blocks.
The goal is to be the Canva of content production, giving content producers an entire sound studio and making it easy for them to produce incredible content.
You will help the team build some very complicated features. You will need to think about how everything might scale. In particular around areas like data storage. In fact, the problems are only going to get harder given that the company is already pushing into video. Streaming, storing and compressing videos is going to throw up a whole bunch of new challenges.
The team is small, highly experienced, and all very hands-on. The CTO still contributes code. There is no time for hand-holding, and you will need to be able to take a high-level problem, like “we need to get more user data for this feature,” scope a solution, and deliver it with minimal input.
If you thrive in this kind of environment and are confident in your skills as a rounded problem solver who has worked on some of the most challenging problems in computing, this could be your role.
Key skills required for this role;
Strong backend engineering skills (Python is the key skill here)
Strong computer science fundamentals. In this role, thinking about things like data structures will be part of what you do regularly.
Knowing how to solve problems from first principles
Things you should know;
This is a start-up and there is a lot that needs doing.
The people working here are very career minded
This role might well take you out of your comfort zone.
Remote policy - You will be free to work remote most of the time but the team like to get together in person at least once a month.
