Our Engineering Team architects the underlying operating system, core services, platform infrastructure, dev toolkits, core algorithms, machine learning models, packaged end-user apps, and app store marketplace. Instabase engineers are excited to solve hard problems for complex organizations and are self-starters from day one.

At Instabase, we develop intuitive products that enable large enterprises to tackle their unstructured data problems. As a senior product backend engineer, you will design and develop scalable backend platforms that power our interactive user applications. Advances in generative AI are creating new ways for humans to interact with data, and here at Instabase, we are working to build intuitive product experiences around these advances.

What you'll do:

• Design and build robust, scalable backends that serve documents and other data to the product frontend.
• Dive into the complexities of real-time data processing and develop strategies to ensure that our systems can efficiently handle the dynamic outputs of generative AI models.
• Collaborate with frontend engineers to design the optimal APIs to deliver fast data interactions to end users.
• Work with product managers and designers to understand user pain points and create the best product experience.
• Be the tech lead for your projects, plan project execution, and timeline, and delegate work to junior engineers.
• Interface with other engineering teams to ensure the features you own are integrated with downstream and upstream systems.
• Mentor junior engineers on engineering best practices and technical design.
• Troubleshoot production issues and contribute to improving our platform stability.
