Job Description

• As a Senior Python Engineer, you’ll be a foundational member of a small, elite engineering team (<10) shipping daily. • You will help drive the architectural maturity of our platform as we scale, ensuring our systems remain as elegant and durable as they are fast. • You’ll design and build scalable backend services using Python 3.12+, FastAPI, and gRPC on GCP. • You’ll develop complex payment flows via Stripe and handle sensitive PII with a HIPAA-aware posture. • You’ll provide high-leverage code reviews and help establish the standards that allow us to scale efficiently as our load increases. • You’ll use AI tools (Claude, Copilot) intelligently to accelerate development.

Job Requirements

  • 7+ years building backend systems in production with deep Python expertise.
  • Prior startup experience required — you know how to build in fast-moving environments and recognize when to favor "speed to market" vs. "architectural perfection."
  • Proven architectural judgment — you’ve handled APIs, distributed transactional systems, and cloud-native infrastructure (GCP preferred).
  • Security-minded — you have experience handling sensitive data (PII, payments, or healthcare-adjacent).
  • A builder's mindset — you write code that others can read six months later and you aren't afraid to refactor legacy paths into durable services.
  • High ownership, Team mentality — you understand what you ship, you value "strong opinions, loosely held," and you thrive in a collaborative team environment.

Benefits

  • 5X growth trajectory — your impact on our core systems will be visible and immediate.
  • Direct access to leadership — work in a flat organization where your technical insights drive product decisions.
  • Daily shipping velocity — a "test-heavy" culture and robust CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Cloud Deploy) means you see your work in production every day.
  • Mission that matters — more pets getting the preventive care they need because of the durable infrastructure you build.
  • Teammates who show up — kind, motivated, and genuinely collaborative
