Build backend systems supporting Spellbook's core functionalities and AI workflows. Collaborate closely with Product and Design to optimize user experience.
Responsibilities
Build and scale backend systems that support core product functionality across Spellbook (Reviews, Chat, Library, and more).
Design low-latency, high-reliability search, inference, and orchestration layers for AI features
Build and operate RAG retrieval at scale with production-grade performance optimization and permissions-correct data isolation.
Own core platform concerns for AI: rate limiting, retries, consistency, fallbacks, safe degradation
Partner closely with Product and Design to make good tradeoffs between latency, accuracy, UX, and reliability.
Use modern development workflows, including agent-assisted coding, to accelerate delivery while maintaining rigorous review, testing, and security standards.
Participate in on-call and incident response as needed, and improve feature reliability in the process
Requirements
5+ years of experience building backend systems in production.
Strong fundamentals in backend engineering and distributed systems: APIs, data modeling, concurrency, queues, AI inference
Strong NoSQL (ideally MongoDB) data modeling and performance tuning: schema design/denormalization tradeoffs, indexing strategy, query optimization, and profiling/diagnosing bottlenecks in production.
Ability to convert high-impact problems into clear plans and successful outcomes.
Strong communication skills for technical decision explanations to various audiences.
Self-starter and problem-solver with a desire to help others.
Pragmatic, knowing where scaling is necessary versus unnecessary.
Team player motivated to provide solutions and improve team performance.
