Full-Stack Software Engineer (Backend-Leaning)

What You’ll Do

• Design and scale backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that power Collate’s products.
• Deliver end-to-end, production-ready features in partnership with product, design, and AI engineering.
• Balance iteration speed with technical rigor to ensure systems scale reliably.
• Create internal tools and workflows that accelerate engineering productivity.
• Share responsibility for production systems, including participating in on-call rotation.

What We’re Looking For

• Have experience building across the stack, with deeper strength in backend systems.
• Enjoy taking features from idea → backend architecture → polished UI.
• Care deeply about both technical robustness and the end user experience.
• Are motivated by ambiguity, eager to pick up missing knowledge, and excited to solve novel problems.
• Value speed, pragmatism, and scrappiness but know when to design for robustness.
• Have been an early-stage engineer or startup founder—or aspire to work at that level of ownership.

Modern Tech Stack

Collate uses a modern tech stack, targeting a highly reliable and available platform. We use Go for scalable backend services, TypeScript & React for frontend development, and Python for AI & ML services. Our infrastructure is hosted on AWS with Kubernetes for orchestration and Terraform + Argo CD for configuration management. Key systems include S3, PostgreSQL, Kafka, OpenSearch, LLMs, and other AI models.
