About the role
The Role
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll design and build the core systems that power Merciv’s agentic infrastructure. You’ll architect services that process massive volumes of enterprise data in real-time, build the pipelines that feed our AI engines, and ensure our platform scales reliably for Fortune 500 clients who depend on it daily.
This is a DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) role. You’ll own major platform features from architecture to deployment, working closely with ML engineers, product, and our enterprise customers.
What You’ll Do
- Design, build, and scale backend services using Go and Python that power autonomous retail intelligence for enterprise clients
- Architect data ingestion and processing pipelines that handle millions of data points across internal and external sources
- Build and maintain APIs that serve our agentic AI platform, supporting real-time decision-making at enterprise scale
- Collaborate with ML/AI engineers to integrate predictive and prescriptive models into production workflows
- Own system reliability (design for fault tolerance, observability, and performance under high-throughput conditions)
- Contribute to architectural decisions that shape the long-term trajectory of our platform
- Mentor junior engineers and establish backend engineering best practices as we scale
Who You Are
- 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, with meaningful time spent building systems at enterprise scale
- Deep proficiency in Go and/or Python, with strong fundamentals in distributed systems and microservices architecture
- Experience with both SQL and NoSQL databases; comfortable with data processing at scale
- Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration.
