About the job
Taktile creates technology that enables banks and fintechs to automate critical decisions, such as credit and risk assessments, in real time. As a Senior Backend Engineer on Team Atlas, the main focus is on developing and maintaining the data infrastructure that powers Taktile’s feature computation platform. This position holds responsibility for the full lifecycle of core backend systems, from initial design through deployment, and plays a key role in shaping the direction of the product.
What you will do
- Design, build, and maintain backend services using Python on AWS, including Lambda functions, DynamoDB, Aurora, and event-driven pipelines that support live production workloads. AI tools are part of the regular workflow.
- Address complex technical challenges related to latency, reliability, and scalability in backend systems.
- Take ownership of systems end to end: architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and incident response are all part of the role.
- Influence architectural decisions and help determine how systems are built, not just what gets built.
- Contribute to team growth by conducting code reviews, mentoring peers, and improving development tools and processes.
- Collaborate closely with Product and Design teams to help define new features and guide product direction.
Location
This role is based at Taktile’s office in Berlin.
