About the role
Superhuman is building the AI productivity platform that works everywhere people do — and the back end is where the intelligence lives. Our Back-End engineers build the systems that power AI agents across the entire product suite: the scheduling layer that manages getting all your agents to run at the right time in Go, the real-time infrastructure behind Superhuman Mail, the collaboration engine in Superhuman Docs, and the enterprise controls that let organizations deploy AI safely at scale. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of experience in back-end development, with strong fundamentals in algorithms, data structures, and system design
- Experience building, deploying, and debugging production systems at scale
- Experience with AWS or other cloud platforms (GCP, Azure)
- Comfort working with AI-powered systems — whether that's building infrastructure for LLM-based features, managing agentic workflows, or integrating with ML pipelines. Prior experience building backend services for AI products is a plus
- Fluency with AI coding tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and a point of view on how they change the way teams build software
- Experience with real-time systems, event-driven architectures, or high-throughput API design is a plus
