- Build and maintain backend services using Python and/or Go.
- Work closely with experienced engineers across infrastructure, AI/ML, and product teams.
- Contribute to real production systems that serve users globally.
- Learn and apply principles of distributed systems, scalability, reliability, and performance.

- Take ownership of meaningful projects from design to production.
What We're Looking For:
- Fresh graduates.
- Strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and computer science fundamentals.
- Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Go, or Java.
- Hands-on experience through internships, academic projects, hackathons, or open-source contributions.
- Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn quickly.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment.
Nice to Have:
- Exposure to cloud platforms, Docker, Kubernetes, or distributed systems.
- Experience building backend applications, APIs, or developer tools.
- Contributions to open-source projects or strong personal engineering projects.
- Interest in AI, developer infrastructure, or large-scale systems.
Why Join Us:
- Build products used by millions of users worldwide.
- Work alongside exceptional engineers and industry leaders.
- Receive mentorship while owning impactful projects from day one.
- Learn at a pace that's difficult to find anywhere else.
- Competitive compensation and significant growth opportunities.
