Role overview
Senior Backend Engineer
Requirements and responsibilities
Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.
What you'll do
- Design and own backend systems that handle high-throughput, asynchronous workloads (generation queues, worker orchestration, media processing)
- Architect for scale and reliability — you'll make the calls on data flow, service boundaries, and failure handling
- Build and optimize async pipelines: job queuing, retries, backpressure, dead-letter handling, and everything that keeps millions of requests moving
- Improve performance and cost at the infrastructure level — inference is expensive, and efficiency is a product feature here
- Set technical direction and raise the engineering bar for the team through review and mentorship
What we're looking for
- Strong backend experience (5+ years) with real ownership of production systems at scale
- Proven system design skills — you can defend your architecture decisions with tradeoffs, not buzzwords
- Hands-on experience with asynchronous pipelines, message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS, or similar), and distributed workers
- Comfort with high-concurrency, high-throughput environments
- Ability to work independently in a fast, low-process, bootstrapped environment
Nice to haves
- Experience with Go (or willingness to work in it — we lean on Go for backend)
- Exposure to ML/AI infrastructure, GPU workloads, or media processing pipelines
- Track record contributing to open source (we look at GitHub signal)
Why ImagineArt
- Real revenue, real users, no VC treadmill — decisions are made by engineers and founders, fast
- Genuinely hard technical problems at the intersection of AI and scale
- Fully remote, full-time
