Senior Backend Engineer (Python / AI Workflows)

About BlueThrone

BlueThrone is a remote-first company scaling a portfolio of mobile apps across multiple markets and categories.

We combine product intuition, growth execution, and sharp monetization strategy - and we double down on what works.

We're not a corporate org with layers and slow approvals. We operate like a lean, high-ownership team where strong execution matters more than fancy titles.

Our teams work closely across product, growth, monetization, and engineering - and we care about one thing: building things that move the needle.

The Role

You'll join a lean, horizontal team building our internal revenue optimization platform.

Your mission: build backend APIs and production-grade agentic AI workflows that help our monetization team move faster, run smarter experiments, and scale winning strategies across our app portfolio.

You'll be building core infrastructure, making architectural decisions, and shipping systems that will be used daily by the team.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain backend services in Python
• Design scalable APIs (FastAPI or similar frameworks)
• Build and deploy agentic AI workflows in production (not just prototypes)
• Work closely with Monetization stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable systems
• Own backend architecture, delivery, reliability, and iteration speed
• Improve observability, performance, and system robustness over time
• Work with CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure
• Build services running on Docker / Kubernetes / Helm
• Collaborate with engineers working on Go services (or grow into Go over time)

What We're Looking For

• 7 years of commercial software development experience
• Strong proficiency in Python
• Strong backend fundamentals and a builder mindset
• Proven experience building APIs (FastAPI or similar)
• Track record of deploying agentic AI workflows into production
• Experience with PostgreSQL
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and CI/CD tooling
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm
• High ownership, strong judgment, and ability to execute independently

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience with Go (or willingness to learn it quickly - many services are in Go)
• Background in experimentation platforms, A/B testing, or monetization systems
• Strong product sense (you care about what the system enables, not just how it's built)

Why This Role Might Be a Great Fit

This is a role for someone who wants their work to matter and have real impact.

At BlueThrone, you won't spend weeks discussing architecture in circles. You'll ship, iterate, and improve fast.

You'll Fit Here If...

• You're not waiting to be told what to do - you see the problem and solve it
• You care about building clean systems, but you care even more about impact
• You've shipped real production systems (and dealt with real production issues)
• You prefer fast decisions, high trust, and a team that expects you to think like an owner
• You want to build infrastructure that directly supports revenue growth

If you want to build backend infrastructure AI workflows that power a real monetization engine - not a demo - this is your seat 🎯
