À propos
Zachary Piper Solutions is seeking a skilled Backend Engineer to assist with building modern, cloud-native mission operations software for our partner based out of Denver, CO; San Francisco, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Seattle, WA; OR Washington, D.C. As a Backend Engineer, you'll build ground satellite operations software using Python and AWS, and integrate with services like EC2, S3, RDS, Fargate, and EKS-with a focus on scalability, security, cost, and performance. You'll design and implement APIs, automate processes, and troubleshoot issues across a modern, containerized stack. While the primary focus is backend development, the ideal candidate can also contribute to generative AI integrations, DevSecOps/CI/CD tooling, and software architecture. What You'll Do Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs (GraphQL/REST) in Python. Integrate and optimize workloads across AWS (Lambda, ECS/EKS/Fargate, EC2, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, EFS/EBS). Containerize services with Docker and deploy to EKS/ECS; manage IaC via Terraform (or equivalent). Collaborate cross-functionally to refine requirements, ship new features, and resolve production issues. Implement observability (logging, metrics, tracing), performance tuning, and cost controls. AI Platform Integration:
Call and manage APIs for OpenAI, Anthropic, AskSage or similar LLM platforms. Handle rate limits, retries, timeouts, and failure modes with guardrails and backoff strategies. Manage prompt templating/versioning, secure key management, and typed/structured outputs. Build AI features into production systems with human-in-the-loop and safety measures.
Core Technical Skills Python for production-grade backend services (FastAPI/Flask/Django), including async/await and testing (pytest). APIs: GraphQL (schemas, resolvers, pagination, security) and/or REST; API performance troubleshooting. Containers: Docker (Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, env/secrets, networking basics). Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (modules, remote state, IAM/VPC, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3). AWS: Lambda, ECS/EKS/Fargate, EC2, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, EFS/EBS-service selection, reliability, cost/perf tradeoffs, and basic IAM security. Kubernetes (EKS): Pods, services, deployments, YAML, debugging failed deployments. Git & Collaboration: Clean commit history, solid PRs, constructive reviews, CI pipelines. AI Integration (Preferred) Production experience with OpenAI/Anthropic/AskSage or similar LLM APIs. Secure key management (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager/SSM), rate limiting, retries/backoff, timeout control. Prompt templating/versioning, token budgeting, observability, and cost dashboards. Guardrails: confidence thresholds, schema validation (e.g., JSON), human-in-the-loop, staged rollouts, and feature flags. Soft Skills Exceptional communication with frontend, backend, and product partners. Deep technical analysis and troubleshooting. Independent self-starter who ships features end-to-end. High standards for maintainability, reliability, and performance. Entrepreneurial/startup mindset and willingness to flex outside strict role boundaries. Salary $120,000 - $180,000 base + Equity Qualifications Bachelor's in Computer Science (or related); or equivalent hands-on experience 3+ years in backend or full stack engineering Secret Clearance; Ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance. Benefits Healthy work-life balance: required 15 days off, unlimited PTO, and most U.S. federal holidays. Quarterly health & wellness benefits; comprehensive health insurance with 100% coverage for employees. 401(k) with 4% match.
