The full description

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with 5-15 years of experience to join Specter's engineering team and build the production infrastructure powering our agentic AI capabilities. You'll be a strong individual contributor who loves shipping real features used by real people, in this case, 300+ leading VC and PE firms discovering insights in private markets. We need someone who is killer in Python, has deep experience building and deploying APIs at scale, and is excited about leveraging AI in their work. This is a rare opportunity to join a small, fast-moving team at an inflection point where your backend expertise will directly shape the next generation of AI-powered investment tools.

What will you be doing?

- Building and shipping production-grade backend services and APIs using Python and FastAPI that power Specter's AI features

- Developing the infrastructure and orchestration layer for agentic AI capabilities within the product

- Working closely with databases (Postgres, ClickHouse) to enable intelligent data retrieval and AI-driven analysis

- Mentoring teammates and contributing to engineering best practices as the team scales from ~7 to 30+ people
