About the Role
Banks and fintechs use Taktile to automate critical decisions, like credit and risk, in real time. We're building the infrastructure that makes financial institutions truly AI-native, and the backend is where the hard problems live. We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join Team Atlas, a team focused on the data infrastructure powering our feature computation platform. You'll own critical systems end-to-end, and your decisions will shape the product.
Responsibilities
- Build and operate backend services in Python on AWS — Lambda functions, DynamoDB, Aurora, and event-driven pipelines that handle real production traffic.
- Leverage agentic AI tools as part of your daily workflow.
- Tackle hard backend problems — latency, reliability, and scale are everyday concerns.
- Own your systems end-to-end: from architecture and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and incident response.
- Make key architectural decisions — you'll have real authority over how things are built, not just what gets built.
- Raise the bar for the team through code reviews, mentoring, and improving our development tooling and processes.
- Work directly with Product and Design to shape what we build next.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of leading complex projects in a senior capacity (2+ years).
- Deep expertise in Python and building backend systems on cloud platforms (we use AWS).
- Strong system design skills — you're comfortable making architectural trade-offs and defending them.
- Depth in at least one of these areas: data pipelines and storage, event-driven architectures, caching and performance, or serverless systems.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders on a shared vision.
- The ability to work in a hybrid model from our Berlin HQ, the London office, or the Iasi hub.
- Relocation assistance is not provided for this role.
