Senior Backend Engineer (Python / AI Workflows)
About The Position
Want to build backend systems that directly impact revenue - not just ship features that nobody measures? This is not a typical backend role where you maintain legacy services, close Jira tickets, and disappear into the engineering backlog. You’ll build internal infrastructure and AI workflows that our Monetization team relies on daily - and you’ll see the impact of your work fast. Now we’re building an internal platform that powers our monetization engine - and we’re looking for a backend engineer who can own the systems behind it. About BlueThrone BlueThrone is a remote-first company scaling a portfolio of mobile apps across multiple markets and categories. We combine product intuition, growth execution, and sharp monetization strategy - and we double down on what works. We’re not a corporate org with layers and slow approvals. We operate like a lean, high-ownership team where strong execution matters more than fancy titles. Our teams work closely across product, growth, monetization, and engineering - and we care about one thing: building things that move the needle. The role You’ll join a lean, horizontal team building our internal revenue optimization platform. Your mission: build backend APIs and production-grade agentic AI workflows that help our monetization team move faster, run smarter experiments, and scale winning strategies across our app portfolio. You’ll be building core infrastructure, making architectural decisions, and shipping systems that will be used daily by the team.
