Senior Engineer (WFH, Backend & Full-Stack) job description
Remote | Full-time
We’re looking for a Senior Engineer who ships fast, thinks clearly, and solves real problems. No fluff. No red tape. Just strong engineers building software that matters.
What You’ll Do
- Own features end-to-end — from idea to production
- Write clean, scalable, maintainable code
- Identify and fix performance and reliability bottlenecks
- Work closely with product and ops to ship pragmatically, not perfectly
Tech Stack
Backend
- FastAPI, Pydantic
- Postgres
- SQLAlchemy (nice to have, not a blocker)
Frontend
- React, Next.js
- TypeScript
- Zustand, Tailwind CSS
You don’t need to know everything on day one, but you must be comfortable learning fast and operating independently.
What You Bring
- 8-10+ years of hands-on engineering experience
- Strong depth in Python/Go and TypeScript/JS
- Experience building and scaling production systems
- Sharp problem-solving skills — frameworks are tools, not the point
- Clear communicator, low ego, high ownership
- Able to juggle priorities without hand-holding
Nice to Have
- Experience with AWS, infra, or performance optimisation
- Strong opinions on system design (and the ability to defend them)
- Side projects or open-source work you’re proud of
Why Cadence
- Full autonomy
- Remote-first, async-friendly
- Small team, high trust
- Speed over bureaucracy, always
