## Description

Backflip is looking for experienced Software Engineers with strong full-stack fundamentals to join our team. You'll build the APIs, services, and infrastructure behind our products and ship features end to end, ensuring they meet the reliability, security, and performance expectations of our enterprise customers. We'll look to you to be product-minded, think holistically about the end-user experience, and bring a hands-on blend of architecture, infrastructure, and product sense.

As a small team, we're all generalists who work wherever the product needs us. We're looking for engineers who thrive on autonomy and individual responsibility, and who are happy to jump in across the codebase.

This is a hybrid role based in our San Francisco headquarters.
What You'll Do

 * Design and build full-stack systems and the backend services, APIs, and infrastructure behind our products
 * Take projects from ambiguous problem to shipped solution with minimal process
 * Deploy products and ML models to production, and iterate quickly based on real customer feedback
 * Develop integrations with CAD software, 3D tools, and other third-party applications
 * Build the systems that make Backflip enterprise-ready: security, authentication, multi-tenancy, and observability
 * Collaborate with the AI team to turn new model capabilities into shipped product
 * Contribute to technical architecture, design reviews, and engineering best practices
