    Sandboxx is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer who is passionate about cloud-native systems, scalable architectures, and AI integrations.

    • DevOps & Observability: Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and logging with modern tools.
    • Innovation: Evaluate and prototype new technologies, especially AI-focused frameworks and cloud-native architectures.
    About You
    • 5+ years of experience building and scaling production backend systems, ideally in high-growth or product-focused environments.
    • Deep fluency in Python and Go, with strong knowledge of building secure APIs (REST and GraphQL).

    • Passion for clean code, maintainable systems, and high performance.
    • Familiarity with data privacy, security best practices, and compliance requirements (e.g., SOC 2).
    • Self-directed and proactive-especially in a fully remote environment.
    • Bonus: Experience with Strapi, containerized applications (Docker/Kubernetes), or AI/ML pipelines.
    Tech Stack
    • Languages & Frameworks: Python (FastAPI, Flask), Go, GraphQL (Apollo/Hasura), Typescript, Strapi CMS

    • CTO Chat: 30-minute intro focused on team fit and values.
    • In-depth Coding Session: A 1-hour real-world programming exercise focused on architectural thinking, clean code, and testing. Done in a collaborative format.
    • Offer Stage: If it's a match, we move fast.
