## Description

Salary range: $100k - $185k USD*

We're looking for strong backend engineers who love building reliable systems around fragmented, but high-value data. As part of the Core Backend team, you'll work on the systems at the center of Kalepa: designing services, data models, pipelines, and evaluation loops. The goal is not just cleaner data, but an intelligence layer that makes better, faster, and more explainable decisions.

You'll join a high-ownership team responsible for some of Kalepa's most business-critical infrastructure. Your work will make our data more complete, our decisions more transparent, and our products even more valuable.
