About us

The role
This is a senior, high-ownership role. You'll take responsibility for the backend that everything else runs on: the services, data and infrastructure behind our creative tools.

Uphold strong security and data-protection practices across the platform

5+ years building production backend systems, with strong Python

Deep experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL preferred): schema design, migrations and concurrency

Experience with asynchronous job processing and background workers

Experience with payments, subscriptions or other code that handles money

Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and CI/CD

Good instincts for monitoring, logging and alerting

Clear written communication, and you're comfortable owning outcomes with little oversight

Nice to have
Experience with generative AI APIs (image, video or language models)

Familiarity with local payment methods in Ethiopia

Some React/TypeScript, enough to follow a problem across the stack

Why join EhudAI
