Job Title: Senior Backend Engineer

Company Description: Sektor - Autonomous technology deployment platform for heavy industries

Job Description:
Join Sektor to build the world’s first orchestration layer for autonomous technology deployment in heavy industries like construction. You will design DAG-based workflow architectures and AI-driven configuration agents, automating the last mile of enterprise software implementation. This is a rare chance to shape a foundational backend from the ground up for a global market.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Build a first-of-its-kind orchestration platform featuring DAG-based execution, typed action contracts, and autonomous configuration agents.

• Work at an early-stage startup where you will directly influence the architectural decisions of a system automating billion-dollar industry operations.

• Join a high-performance culture that values radical openness, relentless building, and a deep obsession with solving genuine technical challenges.

What you will do:

• Design and scale the "golden path" for third-party integrations and background job systems using Python and FastAPI.

• Own the end-to-end reliability of the platform, implementing pragmatic observability and automated CI/CD pipelines for repeatable deployments.

• Partner with the CTO to translate complex product requirements into robust, production-grade systems that run in live enterprise environments.

The ideal candidate:

• Possesses significant experience building production-grade backend systems in Python with a focus on clear API design and reliability.

• Demonstrates strong engineering judgment in managing production operations, including observability, incident response, and runtime service health.

• Thrives in autonomous environments and can bridge the gap between high-level backend architecture and the end-user experience.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
