They are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to design and build critical backend systems that enable real-time decision-making and operational efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Design and build the backend services that power Nash’s decisioning, execution, and capacity layers, including job orchestration, carrier selection, real-time tracking, and post-purchase workflows
- Own complex systems from architecture through deployment, observability, and continuous performance work in production
- Build and harden the integrations that connect Nash to fragmented carrier networks, fleet systems, and partner APIs, treating reliability as a first-class product feature
- Collaborate with frontend, product, design, and data partners to ship intelligent, user-first experiences, and with operations to encode real-world workflows into how the system runs
- Improve transaction and policy infrastructure for accuracy, performance, and resilience as volume and modalities grow
- Raise the bar on documentation, testing, code quality, and incident response
- Make pragmatic technical bets that move the business forward without accumulating fragile complexity
Skills
- 5+ years building and shipping backend systems in production, with clear ownership of services that handled real load
- Strong proficiency in Python and modern backend frameworks. Experience with Go or TypeScript is a plus
- Fluency designing RESTful APIs and working with relational databases (PostgreSQL, AWS RDS)
- Solid command of cloud platforms (AWS preferred), managed services (serverless, queues, databases), and CI/CD pipelines
- Deep instincts for scalable system design and performance optimization, with a sharp eye for the failure modes that matter
- Product sense: the ability to balance technical quality with speed and user value, and to push back when the right thing to build is not the thing on the spec
- High agency in a fast-paced environment. You notice what needs improvement and act on it
- A collaborative communicator who writes clearly and partners well across functions
- Experience with AsyncIO, event-driven architectures, or integration-heavy systems
- Familiarity with risk, security, or compliance-driven domains
- A track record building distributed systems that process large transaction volumes with strict reliability requirements
- Exposure to AI or rule-based automation systems, especially in operational contexts
- Prior startup experience (not required)
Benefits
- Quarterly broader team on-sites to bond with teammates
- Competitive compensation and opportunity for equity
- Flexible paid time off
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
