## About the role

We're looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to build and scale the production data ingestion systems that brings customer data into the Axion platform. This is a senior individual contributor role with direct architectural ownership and product impact.

## What they're looking for

- Minimum 5+ years of backend software engineering experience, with deep, recent, hands-on fluency in Python
- Strong cloud architecture experience—designing, deploying, and operating distributed services in production, with Kubernetes and containerized workloads
- Demonstrated depth with Postgres and relational data modeling, including performance, migrations, and schema design under real production load
- A track record of solving genuine data integration problems: heterogeneous sources, messy real-world inputs, and turning all of it into something reliable that downstream systems can depend on
- A pragmatic, tools-not-platforms approach to the data ecosystem—you pick the right technology for the problem rather than building an identity around a single proprietary stack
- A track record of technical mentorship, you make the engineers around you better without needing formal authority
