## About the role

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer (Mid-Level) who thrives in a fast-paced, high-ownership startup environment. You’ll help design, build, and maintain the backend systems that power Tessera’s AI automation platform — including scalable APIs, data pipelines, and integrations with enterprise systems.

- 3–5 years of backend development experience with a focus on APIs, distributed systems, or cloud infrastructure
- Proficient in Python, with experience using FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, or similar frameworks
- Experience with PostgreSQL/MySQL and data modeling best practices
- Familiarity with Redis, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub), and asynchronous processing
- Experience with cloud storage solutions such as AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage
- Understanding of API authentication, security, and scalability principles
