## Description

ABOUT THE ROLE

Banks and fintechs use Taktile to automate critical decisions, like credit and risk, in real time. We're building the infrastructure that makes financial institutions truly AI-native, and the backend is where the hard problems live.

We're growing rapidly with enterprise customers across banking and insurance, and we're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join Team Atlas : a small, high-ownership team focused on the data infrastructure powering our feature computation platform. 

You'll own critical systems end-to-end, and your decisions will shape the product.




WHAT YOU'LL DO

 - Build and operate backend services in Python on AWS — Lambda functions, DynamoDB, Aurora, and event-driven pipelines that handle real production traffic. You'll leverage agentic AI tools as part of your daily workflow.

 - Tackle hard backend problems — latency, reliability, and scale are everyday concerns.

 - Own your systems end-to-end: from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and incident response.

 - Make key architectural decisions — you'll have real authority over how things are built, not just what gets built.

 - Raise the bar for the team through code reviews, mentoring, and improving our development tooling and processes.

 - Work directly with Product and Design to shape what we build next.




REQUIREMENTS

 - At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of leading complex projects in a senior capacity (2+ years).

 - Deep expertise in Python and building backend systems on cloud platforms
