## Description

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing software company.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build backend systems, data infrastructure and agent-driven automation as a hands-on senior engineer who also mentors a junior engineer and helps shape the engineering practices of a young team. The role covers end-to-end ownership of production services and connections to outside platforms.

What you'll do

\- Build data infrastructure that records every event across a customer's lifecycle so outcomes can be analyzed.

\- Develop an agentic, self-improving system that assesses operations, proposes changes and carries them out automatically.

\- Own full-stack engineering for the core product, with a strong emphasis on backend and infrastructure work.

\- Build reliable integrations with commerce, advertising and marketing platforms, plus supporting orchestration tooling.

\- Mentor a founding engineer while continuing to write and ship code daily.

## Requirements

What we're looking for

\- Experience building agentic or LLM-powered systems that connect to outside APIs.

\- A track record of taking AI-driven software from design through live operation, with full accountability for it.

\- Background at a fast-scaling startup that you joined before it grew into a large organization.

\- Strong server-side skills across full stack work, especially with pipelines, event flows and connections to external services.

\- Experience leading or mentoring at least one or two engineers, such as through a tech lead or founder role.

\- Able to juggle a wide range of work and impose order when priorities are unclear.

\- 3 or more years of professional engineering experience.

Bonus points

\- Experience with commerce or marketing platform APIs, such as storefront, advertising or email service provider APIs.

\- Prior role building a product from nothing as an early team member or first hire.

\- A strong engineering pedigree from a leading university, which can offset a shorter record at fast-growing companies.

\- Strong communication skills.

Location and work model
