Lead Software Developer (Backend)

About the Role

We are hiring Staff / Principal Engineers to take full, hands-on ownership of Blitzy's most critical production-grade systems and to deliver high-leverage features that materially improve customer outcomes and engineering velocity. This is the most senior individual contributor role at the company today.

This is not a Senior-plus role, an architecture-only role, or a promotion-track role. We are looking for someone who has already operated at Principal / Staff+ scope in a highly technical environment and expects to spend their time writing, reviewing, and shipping production code.

This role is 100% hands-on. Leverage comes from system ownership, execution quality, and durable technical decisions — not people management or process.

Responsibilities

• Own mission-critical production systems end-to-end, ensuring correctness, scalability, performance, reliability, and operational excellence.
• Design, build, and ship high-impact backend systems and features that improve product reliability, performance, and customer value.
• Architect scalable services and cloud infrastructure using technologies such as Python, REST, gRPC, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
• Identify and resolve complex technical bottlenecks that limit engineering quality, system performance, or organizational velocity.
• Build and operate LLM-powered systems and validation loops that evaluate correctness, consistency, durability, and production performance.
• Design and evolve data architectures incorporating relational, NoSQL, graph, and vector databases to support complex enterprise applications and semantic retrieval.
• Modernize and improve complex enterprise systems while balancing reliability, maintainability, scalability, and delivery speed.
• Set and uphold engineering quality standards through hands-on technical leadership, sound technical judgment, and ownership of long-term technical decisions.

Qualifications

• Direct experience with Python as a primary programming language, backend frameworks, and microservices architectures.
• Expertise in REST and gRPC, with proficiency in Node.js and JavaScript.
• Proficiency in GCP, along with experience using at least one additional cloud platform such as AWS or Azure.
• Advanced knowledge of Kubernetes and Terraform in production environments.
• Experience operating highly available production systems, including monitoring, scalability, reliability, performance optimization, and operational tooling.
• Strong knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, or DynamoDB.
• Familiarity with graph databases such as Neo4j and vector databases or embedding infrastructure for semantic search and retrieval.
• Hands-on experience building and operating LLM-powered systems in production, including evaluation, validation, regression testing, tracing, and failure analysis.
• Working knowledge of LangSmith or comparable LLM observability and evaluation tools; familiarity with OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar model providers is a plus.
• Ability to contribute across the full stack, with a strong understanding of frontend architecture and the ability to debug, design, and ship across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and AI systems.
• Understanding of large-scale enterprise software systems, including architecture, integration, deployment, modernization, and long-term maintainability.
• Proven track record of operating at Staff+, Principal Engineer, or equivalent level, independently driving complex technical initiatives and delivering high-impact outcomes with minimal supervision.

AI Engineer — Vertexcover Labs

Who We Are

Vertexcover Labs is an employee-focused, engineer-run software studio. We partner with fast-growing, funded startups around the world—Rephrase.ai, Dhiwise, Dunzo, Dubdub, Xapo, Arintra etc.—to crack their toughest engineering problems. Everyone is an individual contributor; no management layers. Engineers choose the projects they work on, see each project's P&L, and share directly in the profits.

Whether it's building multi-agent systems for production, scaling ML pipelines across GPU clusters, or shipping RAG-powered products that end-users rely on—we solve hard AI problems for real companies.

A Few Problems We Are Currently Working On

• AI Agents Test-authoring agents that convert natural language into e2e tests.
• Ad-performance agents that learn what works for your brand and generate winning creatives automatically.
• Scale + MLOps Optimise ML pipelines and fix autoscaling by applying queuing theory while juggling CPU / GPU memory contention.
• RAG & Knowledge Systems Design and deploy retrieval-augmented generation pipelines—chunking strategies, embedding models, reranking, and evaluation loops.
• AI Video & Image Processing Build rendering pipelines, diffusion-model integrations, and real-time video processing at scale. You'll own at least one project like these—design, build, iterate.

Signals You're Probably the Right Fit

• Strong in at least one other language (Python, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Java …); happy to learn more.
• First principle understanding of how LLMs, embeddings, vector databases and AI Agents work
• Evidence of shipping real AI-powered software—OSS, side projects, or production features.
• Comfortable navigating the fast-moving AI landscape—papers, new model releases, evolving APIs.
• Clear written & spoken communication; async collaboration is our default.
• Self-directed—you ask for context, not permission.

How We Operate

• Project choice. Engineers vote on which engagements we take.
• Stack agnostic. We pick tools that fit the job, not the résumé.
• Pragmatic craftsmanship. Durable design, no gold-plating.
• Transparent economics. Know what your work is worth, share in the profits.
• Remote-native. Async by default; sync when it helps.

Hiring Process (Lean & Human)

1. 2–3 technical deep-dives with future teammates.
2. 30-minute culture chat.
3. Offer. No LeetCode marathons, no trick puzzles.

We read every application and reply to all candidates.
