We’re hiring a Senior Python Backend Developer who actively uses AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code) as part of their daily workflow. You’ll be taking ownership of a complex FastAPI backend powering a consumer-facing geospatial platform - managing integrations, data processing, and fulfilment orchestration.

• Own and evolve a FastAPI backend with multiple API routes, database models, and external service integrations

• Implement features and resolve bugs using AI coding tools as your primary workflow

• Work with geospatial data — ship tracking (AIS), route processing, coordinate transformations

• Maintain and extend integrations with Stripe, Shopify, Supabase Auth, print fulfilment APIs

• Navigate and improve an existing codebase — architecture, dependencies, tech debt

• Write and maintain tests (pytest), follow TDD: write tests first, validate failure, implement, verify

• Maintain per-feature documentation (MD files)

• Ship fast, iterate, communicate blockers

• 4+ years of production Python experience (FastAPI or similar async frameworks)

• Strong SQLAlchemy / PostgreSQL skills (complex queries, ORM patterns, performance)

• Experience integrating third-party APIs (payment, e-commerce, webhooks)

• Mandatory: daily working experience with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar AI coding tools

• Mandatory: demonstrated ability to leverage AI effectively — prompt engineering, reviewing AI output, steering implementations toward production quality

• Comfortable with AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager — or equivalent cloud)

• Strong debugging skills — catch and correct AI-generated mistakes

• Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar codebases and spot issues

• Self-driven, proactive, no hand-holding needed

• English: working proficiency (async team communication)
