Hi Everyone! I'm looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a focus in FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and strong architecture opinions. My company is a seed-funded cybersecurity startup called Rilevera. We are building the world's leading detection management solution. We are remote-first, US-only for now, and offer good set of benefits including stock options, salary ($135-$165K), health, dental, etc. As the CTO, I'm looking for someone that has a pragmatic approach to programming and backend architecture. Someone who is comfortable and intentional regarding where and when to employ tech debt. As well as someone who is ready and willing to defend their ideas and decisions. As a product-driven technology company, our customers are our primary focus and I strongly encourage our engineers to communicate directly with them. If you are someone that thinks your job ends at a PR and starts at a ticket, this position isn't for you. We are moving fast and want someone who has the courage to call out issues, and the solutions ready to fix them. If having autonomy and ownership are critical for you...look no further. Also, if you are part of the borg (a.k.a interviews using AI) please don't apply. While we encourage the use of AI in our day-to-day, if I wanted to interview Claude Code for this position, I would just build an agent.
