About The Position

Backflip is looking for experienced Software Engineers with strong full-stack fundamentals to join their team. The role involves building the APIs, services, and infrastructure behind their products and shipping features end to end, ensuring they meet the reliability, security, and performance expectations of their enterprise customers. The ideal candidate will be product-minded, think holistically about the end-user experience, and bring a hands-on blend of architecture, infrastructure, and product sense. As a small team, engineers are generalists who work wherever the product needs them, thriving on autonomy and individual responsibility, and are happy to jump in across the codebase. This is a hybrid role based in their San Francisco headquarters.

• Experience architecting backend systems, services, APIs, and data flows, for reliability and scale
• Fluent in a modern backend stack (Python, Node.js, RESTful APIs, CI/CD)
• Able to build and ship user-facing features end to end, from data model to UI (JavaScript/TypeScript, React)
• Experience building secure, production systems for enterprise customers
• Pragmatic and product-minded. You balance speed and quality, and enjoy taking features from idea to shipped

Nice To Haves

• Experience with ML, data, or search systems
• Experience building plugins for desktop CAD tools
• Genuine excitement about the mechanical design space

Responsibilities

• Design and build full-stack systems and the backend services, APIs, and infrastructure behind our products
• Take projects from ambiguous problem to shipped solution with minimal process
• Deploy products and ML models to production, and iterate quickly based on real customer feedback
• Develop integrations with CAD software, 3D tools, and other third-party applications
• Build the systems that make Backflip enterprise-ready: security, authentication, multi-tenancy, and observability
• Collaborate with the AI team to turn new model capabilities into shipped product
