 * You use AI coding tools daily. Show us your workflow, skills, context management and agent orchestration, and how you leverage them responsibly.
 * Strong experience with NoSQL (Firestore) and relational databases (PostgreSQL/Spanner) especially schema migration and transformation tasks.
 * Understanding of API design, caching, and high-performance content delivery.
 * Clear, async-first communication. You write well, share context without being asked, and document decisions. We're a remote-first, multinational team. English is the working language.
 * Comfortable with asynchronous, event-driven systems (e.g., via Pub/Sub or webhooks).

## Description

At simpleclub, we're on a mission to shape the future of learning for millions of students. As part of this mission, we're undertaking an ambitious and rewarding project: migrating our custom CMS (built on Firestore and trigger-based pipelines) to a modern, API-first headless CMS.
We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our team focused on training material and learning experience, further developing a core domain responsible for delivering and managing all our app content. We've got tricky and impactful projects lined up: you'll be laying the foundation for future-proof, AI ready API-driven content delivery.
Upcoming projects

 * Simulations: integrate internally produced 3D simulations and mini-apps deeply with our core app features (progress, learning plans, tests)
 * Permissions: with more and larger customers, we want to deeply integrate our SpiceDB backend permission system
 * Unified CMS: producing content in-house compared to our content creator available for customers is deviating, and we want everyone to benefit from the work going into it
 * Integrations: allow different education providers to sync and benefit from the simpleclub platform via connections like SCORM/LTI, * Own backend features for AI-powered educator tools: architecture, implementation, deployment, observability. The whole lifecycle is yours.
 * Lead technical designs and ADRs for new and refactoring projects, ensuring stable, secure and fast time to customer value
 * Integrate further, experiment with and continually improve how we work with AI (create and manage skills, loops and context files), in the context of the above projects.
 * Use agentic coding tools to refine, plan, first draft and monitor as part of your daily workflow.
 * Ship features with Flutter engineers, PM, and designer. Short cycles, tight feedback loops., * Team culture: we support and give feedback to each other. We'll ensure you're onboarded properly and have everything you need.
 * High autonomy: You'll be trusted to own your technical solutions while being supported by an experienced engineering lead.
 * Remote-first culture: We're async-friendly, collaborative, and focused on deep work without constant meetings.
