Scispot · USA
Join Scispot as a Senior Backend and Infrastructure Engineer to build systems that sit between physical lab work and AI-driven action. Reliability here has a direct effect on how fast scientists can work.
About the Role
Own important production systems early. Your decisions will shape the platform rather than disappear into a large org chart.
Work directly with founders and a small team that values speed, precision, clear thinking, and honest feedback.
What You Will Do
Solve hard problems across backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, distributed data, security, and developer experience.
Build systems that sit between physical lab work and AI-driven action. Reliability here has a direct effect on how fast scientists can work.
What We Are Looking For
Strong production backend experience with Python and FastAPI, Java and Spring Boot, or a comparable stack.
A solid grasp of distributed systems, asynchronous processing, failure modes, retries, idempotency, and message-driven architecture.
Hands-on experience with AWS and Azure. You have made practical decisions about networking, compute, storage, identity, security, and cost.
Nice to Have
Infrastructure as code with Terraform or a similar tool.
Datadog, ELK, OpenTelemetry, or another observability stack.
We care more about clear evidence of ownership than employer prestige or polished interview language. Join Scispot if you want to build like a founder, remain close to users, and apply software and AI to problems that matter beyond software.
