About the job
About the Role
Taktile is revolutionizing the way banks and fintechs automate critical decisions such as credit and risk assessments in real time. As an innovative startup within the automated decision-making sector, we recognize that the backend is where the most challenging problems reside.
We are seeking an experienced Senior Backend Engineer to join our dynamic engineering team. Within Team Atlas, you will be responsible for building the robust data infrastructure that drives our feature computation platform. You will have ownership of critical systems from start to finish, significantly influencing our product development.
Your Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain backend services using Python on AWS, including Lambda functions, DynamoDB, Aurora, and event-driven pipelines that manage real production traffic. You will incorporate AI tools into your daily tasks.
Address complex backend challenges related to latency, reliability, and scalability on a daily basis.
Take complete ownership of your systems: oversee architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
Make influential architectural decisions — you will have genuine authority in determining how systems are built, not just what gets constructed.
Elevate team standards through code reviews, mentoring, and enhancing our development tools and processes.
Collaborate closely with Product and Design teams to influence future developments.
