Senior Backend & Platform Architect (AWS/SaaS/AI/Aviation/Weather)

5+ years of commercial backend engineering focused on system architecture, distributed systems, and multi-tenant SaaS

\n

Active, hands-on production fluency with AI-assisted engineering and agentic loops (Cursor, Claude, etc.)

\n

Deep AWS architectural mastery with a track record of end-to-end service ownership and zero-downtime deployments

\n

Strong security and reliability mindset (OAuth2/OIDC, multi-tenant data isolation, high-availability SLAs)

\n

Ability to work hybrid in the Denver, CO area

Stack: AWS, Multi-Tenant SaaS, OAuth2/OIDC, Agentic AI (Cursor, Claude), Zarr/Pangeo

\n

Mission: Architecting the commercial aviation delivery layer for a global orbital intelligence platform.

\n

\n

Tired of writing boilerplate code by hand and fighting legacy enterprise red tape?

\n

\n

A high-growth global space-data platform is expanding aggressively into commercial enterprise aviation. They need an architectural-minded Senior Backend Engineer to build and scale the commercial delivery layer sitting on top of their proprietary weather and aviation data engines.

\n

\n

This isn’t a traditional boilerplate-coding role. You’ll leverage bleeding-edge agentic AI loops to write code rapidly-freeing you up to solve high-level architectural bottlenecks and ship at high velocity.

\n

\n

Why Build Here:

\n

AI-First Velocity: Use state-of-the-art agentic workflows (Cursor, Claude) to automate grunt work and deploy to production with zero downtime.

\n

️ High-Level Architecture: Focus on distributed systems design, scaling bottlenecks, and multi-tenant isolation rather than repetitive syntax.

\n

Commercial Aviation Scale: Build mission-critical systems engineered to meet strict enterprise aviation SLAs for uptime, security, and live tracking.

\n

️ Orbital Data Engines: Architect cloud-native access layers serving massive global telemetry and environmental datasets.

The Tech & Work:

\n

• Design and scale resilient, multi-tenant backend services on AWS for enterprise aviation clients

\n

• Utilize agentic AI development loops to accelerate feature delivery and zero-downtime CI/CD

\n

• Implement enterprise-grade authentication, authorization, and governance (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, GDPR, ISO 27001)

\n

• Architect cost-effective, high-throughput data access layers using modern geospatial tooling (Pangeo, Zarr, Xarray, Dask)

\n

• Diagnose scaling limits and own backend services end-to-end from architectural design to production
