Description:

The company is seeking to hire a Contractor based out of Argentina or Mexico for Senior Backend Software Engineering Services.
As a Backend Engineer Contractor, you will help the team deliver high-quality solutions in a fast-paced environment.
You will be a key contributor within a software development team, crafting great software and automated tests to assure the design and quality of your code.
You will own the delivery of features independently and provide thoughtful input that helps with scoping and design for your team.
Reporting to the Manager of Engineering, you will partner closely with Engineering, Product Management, and Product Design to refine ambiguous goals into clearly defined, iterative work items.

Requirements:

You must have 5+ years of backend experience in software development and demonstrated success working in a software as a service (SaaS) environment.
You should be able to leverage your intermediate experience in Python to effectively build and deploy highly performant and well-tested REST APIs and create performant data models.
A firm understanding of relational databases and experience in writing SQL and optimizing data models is required, along with writing and optimizing queries with scalability and performance in mind.
Experience working with LLMs or machine learning models is a plus but not required.
You should be excited to work in a collaborative and inclusive environment that supports continued improvement through code reviews and feedback.
You must take pride in your ability to identify missing requirements early in the development cycle, create and maintain performant and scalable backend systems, write resilient and testable code, and deliver on sprint commitments.

Please note that given the nature of the contract, this role will not be eligible to participate in company-sponsored benefits.
