We’re hiring a remote, contract-based Backend & Infrastructure Engineer who can build and run production systems end-to-end.
You will build and scale high-throughput backend services in Golang and Python, operate ClickHouse-powered analytics at scale, manage Linux servers for maximum uptime, scalability, and reliability, and drive cost efficiency as a core engineering discipline across the entire stack.
What You Will Do:
Backend Development (Golang & Python)
- Design and maintain high-throughput RESTful/gRPC APIs — primarily Golang, Python for tooling and supporting services
- Architect for horizontal scalability, fault tolerance, and low-latency at scale
- Implement caching (Redis/Memcached), rate limiting, efficient serialization, and CI/CD pipelines
Scalable Architecture & System Design
- Design and evolve distributed, resilient backend architecture that scales without proportional cost increase
- Make deliberate trade-offs (CAP, cost vs. performance) and design multi-region HA with automated failover
ClickHouse & Analytical Data Infrastructure
- Deploy, tune, and operate ClickHouse clusters for real-time analytics and high-cardinality OLAP workloads
- Design optimal table engines, partition strategies, materialized views, and query patterns
- Manage cluster scaling, replication, schema migrations, and upstream/downstream integrations
Cost Efficiency & Cost Optimization
- Own cost optimization end-to-end: right-sizing, reserved/spot capacity, storage tiering, query optimization, compression, batching
- Build cost dashboards, budgets, and alerts; drive a culture of cost-aware engineering
Linux Server Management & Infrastructure
- Administer and harden Linux servers (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS/RHEL) — patching, security, SSH, firewalls
- Manage VPS/bare-metal provisioning, capacity planning, and containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes/Nomad)
- Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Pulumi); optionally manage AWS/GCP as needed
Data, Storage & Scheduling
- Optimize SQL schemas and queries (PostgreSQL, MySQL); manage data archival, cold storage, and lifecycle policies
- Build and maintain cron jobs, scheduled tasks, and batch processing systems
Uptime, Reliability & Observability
- Own system uptime: zero-downtime deployments, health checks, self-healing infra, SLOs/SLIs
- Build observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry); structured logging, distributed tracing, alerting
- Drive incident response, root cause analysis, and post-mortems
Required Qualifications:
Must-Have (Critical)
- Deep proficiency in Golang (primary) and Python
- Proven ability to design and build scalable, distributed architectures
- Production experience deploying and operating ClickHouse at scale
- Track record of driving measurable cost efficiency and cost optimization
- 5+ years in backend engineering and infrastructure roles
Also Required
- Strong Linux server administration (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS/RHEL) — comfortable living in the terminal
- Proven uptime and reliability track record across production infrastructure
- Strong SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL); experience with high-throughput APIs (10K+ RPS)
- VPS/bare-metal provisioning, Docker, Kubernetes/Nomad, IaC (Terraform/Pulumi)
- Observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry)
- Cron jobs, batch processing, data archival, cold storage management
- Networking fundamentals (DNS, TCP/IP, load balancing, TLS)
Nice to Have
- AWS, GCP, or other major cloud provider experience
- Message queues / event streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS/SNS)
- Data pipelines (Airflow, dbt); FinOps practices
- Open-source contributions; compliance background (SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR)
What We Offer
- Remote, contractual role
- Flexible time zones (overlap for standups + incident coverage)
- Competitive contract compensation + equity
- Long-term engagement opportunity based on performance

Are you looking to break out of the silo of pure-tech engineering and build systems that directly move millions in global revenue? If you want to own an entire, high-impact platform end-to-end and see the immediate business value of your code every single day, this is your playground. At Ultrahuman, you will act as a critical bridge between deep engineering and global market execution, turning data intelligence into autonomous, revenue-driving action across 100+ countries.
About the Company:
Ultrahuman is one of the world's fastest-growing wearable companies. The Ultrahuman Ring AIR — the world's lightest sleep-tracking smart ring — sells in 100+ countries. We operate like a product company in every function, and marketplaces is no exception: our Amazon business across the UK, Germany, Canada, Australia, India, the UAE and beyond runs on uh-amazon, an in-house platform we built ourselves.
Role: Marketplace Platform Engineer
Location: Begur, Bengaluru
Schedule: Hybrid.
Marketplace Platform Engineer
Turn a read-only intelligence platform into the hands that run a global Amazon business.
Why this role exists
uh-amazon already does the seeing: a fleet of agents producing daily intelligence across every marketplace, an automated fulfillment middleware that intercepts and routes every order, and a self-hosted agent platform the team uses without writing code. But it writes almost nothing back to Amazon — every ads change, price correction, and listing push is still done by hand. That write side is unbuilt, and it is worth more than the entire team's cost: the daily briefs already flag large sums of recoverable ad spend that no one has the hands to recover. You will be the platform's owner and the team's force multiplier.
What you'll own
- The uh-amazon codebase end-to-end — the FastAPI middleware, the agent fleet, the self-hosted agent platform, and the deploy pipeline
- The write side, behind staged approval gates — the order-management bridge first, then ads execution, repricing, and listing-push agents, each earning the right to act
- Platform trust — kill the false-positive classes and fix the chronically failing agents, so the team acts on the briefs instead of second-guessing them
- Operator self-serve — the team adds and tunes agents through the platform without touching code
Your first 90 days
- Ship the order-management bridge that removes the last manual step in fulfillment
- Ship the first ads-execution agent behind a human approval gate, working the platform's existing recommendation lists
- Eliminate the top false-positive classes in the daily briefs
What we're looking for
- Strong Python (FastAPI or similar) and real API-integration depth — OAuth, rate limits, retries, idempotency; you have built against messy third-party APIs in production
- LLM-agent experience — you have built tool-using agents or LLM pipelines, designed prompts and tool schemas, and debugged why a model did something
- Ship-fast evidence — small PRs, production ownership, comfort being the only engineer on a system
- Comfort owning production writes against a live revenue channel, with gates and audit trails you design
Strongly preferred
- Amazon SP-API or Ads API experience specifically — this collapses your ramp to near zero
- E-commerce domain (order management, marketplaces, repricing, feeds); container/orchestration experience
- A public GitHub with real contributions
