## About the Role

Cytora are a remote-first company. For this role you can be based anywhere in the UK or Ireland provided you have fluent spoken and written English, and have the permanent right to work without requiring visa sponsorship.

## Description

As a Senior Backend Engineer at Cytora, you will be joining a backend functional team. As such, the teams are small (maximum 4/5 people) and work independently of each other.

Each team has a technical lead and a product owner steering the team to make sure we deliver the right features. Regardless of team you join, you will be prototyping, implementing, shipping and supporting features that are changing the insurance industry.

The core of our product is to digitize risks and to accomplish that we rely heavily on Generative AI. Our engineering and product teams are distributed across Europe.

Below you can find the required and preferred qualifications.

We made this list quite extensive so that you also get a taste of our tech stack!

This role requires experience with:

 * Git (we use GitHub)
 * Python (buzzwords: msgspec, httpx, pydantic, fastapi, structlog, sqlalchemy, alembic, jinja2, pytest, ruff, mypy)
 * Mypy (we use mypy, a lot. We also welcome candidates with experience with other static type checkers!)
 * Rest APIs (we use openapi spec to document our apis)
 * Relational Databases (we use Postgres)
 * Docker (we use Docker to package our code, and docker-compose to run it locally)
 * AWS Lambda (The vast majority of our backend code is deployed as AWS Lambda functions)
 * AWS S3
 * AWS RDS
 * AWS API Gateway
 * AWS SQS
 * AWS SNS
 * AWS SES

This role benefits from experience with:

 * Redis
 * GCP VertexAi (we use gemini a lot)
 * GCP BigQuery (we use it to power our analytics)
 * OCR engines (we use AWS Textract, GDocAI, and we have used tesseractOCR in the past)
 * Prompt Engineering
 * Kubernetes
 * CircleCI
 * DataDog
 * Auth0
 * Role Based Access Control
 * JsonSchema
 * Pusher (we use it to push notifications to our Frontend Web App)
 * LocalStack (we use it to mock AWS services locally)
 * Terraform
