Senior Backend Engineer

Senior Backend Engineer Location: Remote (Outside the U.S.) Type: Contract As a Senior Backend Engineer at BSC Analytics , you’ll be part of a high-performing team of four to five engineers tackling complex platform challenges for large-scale enterprises. If you thrive on learning, moving fast, and solving real-world problems across a mix of environments — both modern and legacy — this role is for you. Every week brings new opportunities to sharpen your technical skills, collaborate with top engineers, and grow your reputation as a trusted expert. You’ll work on platforms that power mission-critical systems — all within a flexible, remote-first culture that values deep expertise, autonomy, and continuous learning. About the Role We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer with a passion for building scalable, resilient systems that drive AI-powered innovation. You’ll be a key contributor to our backend architecture — designing APIs, scaling distributed systems, and collaborating closely with AI and product teams to bring cutting-edge ideas to production. This isn’t a role for someone who just wants to maintain the status quo. At BSC Analytics, we move quickly, think boldly, and take ownership from concept to launch. You’ll join a culture that celebrates curiosity, encourages experimentation, and values engineers who balance technical excellence with a sense of humor and humility. Key Responsibilities Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs to support AI/ML-powered applications. Collaborate with AI/ML teams to productionize models, ensuring performance, security, and reliability. Implement best practices for security, performance, and scalability across backend systems. Build robust observability — monitoring, logging, and alerting — for deployed applications. Partner with cross-functional teams (frontend, product management, DevOps, ML engineers) to deliver high-quality features on time. Stay on top of emerging technologies and advocate for smart adoption that keeps us ahead of the curve. Skills, Knowledge and Expertise Required Skills & Qualifications 5+ years of professional backend development experience, with at least 3+ years using Python and Node.js. Deep understanding of API design (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) and microservices architecture. Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Azure/AWS (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). Solid understanding of databases (SQL and NoSQL), caching strategies, and data modeling. Familiarity with the AI/ML lifecycle — from model training to deployment and monitoring. Strong background in software engineering best practices (CI/CD, code reviews, automated testing, Git workflows). Experience with asynchronous programming and event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ). Excellent problem-solving skills with an emphasis on scalability, reliability, and performance optimization. Clear communicator and natural mentor — someone who elevates the team and drives technical strategy. Preferred (Nice-to-Have) Hands-on experience with AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face) or MLOps tools (MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker). Experience in data engineering — building large-scale data ingestion and processing pipelines. Background in startup or high-growth environments , especially in delivering AI-powered products. Why You’ll Love Working Here At BSC Analytics, we don’t just ship code — we ship impact. You’ll join a team that values deep technical curiosity, open collaboration, and a strong sense of ownership. We believe in doing work that’s challenging, meaningful, and occasionally a little weird — in the best way. You’ll get the trust to run with ideas, the support to grow your skills, and the camaraderie of teammates who genuinely love what they do.
