What? Just seeking some good talent!
Where? At BrightEdge, we innovate at the intersection of AI, SEO, and enterprise growth. We’re not just shaping the future of enterprise SEO and content performance; we’re also redefining how digital experiences drive real business results. Trusted by more than 55% of the Fortune 100 and 500, alongside 2000+ enterprise brands, our AI-powered platform transforms content into measurable traffic, engagement, and revenue.
About the Role:
We are looking for Backend Engineers who can design and build scalable, reliable, and data-intensive backend systems while working in an AI-native development environment. This role sits at the intersection of backend engineering, data pipelines, automation, and modern AI-assisted software development. You will not be training models, but you will use AI tools and AI-powered services to build faster, ship cleaner code, and create more intelligent backend workflows.
Title: SDE III/Sr. SDE
Location: 100% remote
What You’ll Do:
- Design and build robust data ingestion pipelines, backend services, and internal products using Python or Go.
- Integrate with diverse data sources, including APIs, databases, streaming systems, cloud storage, and third-party services.
- Build systems that are scalable, fault-tolerant, observable, and cost-efficient.
- Implement data validation, schema checks, error handling, retries, and self-healing mechanisms.
- Work with product, platform, and data teams to ensure smooth and reliable data flow across systems.
- Use AI coding assistants and AI-native developer tools to accelerate delivery, refactor code, debug issues, and improve documentation.
- Build or integrate AI-driven automation for tasks like anomaly detection, intelligent routing, query optimisation, and operational support.
- Contribute to testing, monitoring, alerting, CI/CD, and production readiness for all services you build.
What You Bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Information Technology only.
- Proven track record of shipping production-grade software with measurable impact.
- Candidates who have built data-heavy systems, backend automation, or infrastructure-facing products.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver high-quality work quickly using modern AI tools.
- Strong experience in Python for production-grade backend systems; Go is a plus.
- Hands-on experience with distributed systems, backend architecture, and cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP.
- Solid expertise in SQL, schema design, indexing, and query optimisation.
- Experience in writing queries/views for product, analytics, or customer-facing use cases, more on reading and design, not just doing the pipeline.
- Experience with data warehouses such as BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, or ClickHouse.
- Working experience with real-time or batch data processing systems such as Kafka, Spark Streaming, or Flink.
- Strong ownership mindset, clear communication, and a bias toward shipping reliable solutions.
AI-Native Development Expectations:
- Comfortable using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent AI assistants as part of your daily workflow.
- Able to break down large problems, use AI to accelerate implementation, and still maintain strong judgment on architecture and code quality.
- Comfortable reviewing AI-generated code critically, improving it, and ensuring it meets maintainability and production standards.
- Able to use AI to speed up testing, debugging, documentation, and exploratory problem solving without relying on black-box output.
Why?
- This role is for engineers who enjoy working across backend systems, data pipelines, and AI-assisted engineering. You’ll have the opportunity to build core infrastructure, improve operational efficiency, and shape how modern backend teams use AI to move faster and ship better software.
- BrightEdge has a global presence with offices in San Mateo, New York, London, Sydney, Tokyo & more.
- Work with passionate leaders and cutting-edge tech in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Culture built on Customer Success, People Success, Excellence, Urgency, and Winning.
- Be part of a growth-stage SaaS company shaping the future of search and content marketing.
- Remote first, work/manage your schedule as you like it.
