Backend Engineer - Team Resolve

About the role

Taktile is a high-growth, post product-market-fit start-up, on a fast trajectory to becoming market leader in the field of automated decisioning. We are looking for a Mid-Level Backend Engineer to join the “Resolve” team tasked with building Case Management—a brand-new feature in our product—and maintaining our critical Entity Layer, a store powering customer entities used across the platform. If you’re ambitious, have strong engineering fundamentals, love doing the simple things exceptionally well, and enjoy propelling a small, dynamic team forward, this role is for you!

What You'll Do

• Primarily work on backend components written in Python / FastAPI, hosted on an AWS serverless architecture: Build and maintain the new case management system, enhance the entity layer, review pull requests with depth, and optimize CI/CD pipelines.

• Engage actively in team rituals such as daily syncs, planning sessions, demos, and technical deep-dive discussions.

• Grow as an individual and accelerate your career by learning from our experienced team, contributing to a foundational layer of the product, and joining cross-team learning groups.

Requirements

• Taktile is a hybrid company with options to work from either our Berlin HQ in Germany or the Iasi Hub in Romania. Taktile will not cover relocation services for this role.

• Fluency in English, both written and spoken, is essential as we operate in a remote environment requiring clear and effective communication.

• Strong engineering fundamentals with a passion for simplicity and precision

Ideal, But Not Required

• DynamoDB/Postgres/Pydantic/AWS Lambda/SQLAlchemy

• Experience with frontend development (e.g., React or similar frameworks)

Required Experience

• Prior industry experience with Python backend. At least one prior work experience is required - this is not an entry-level position.

• Experience with databases and AWS or similar cloud providers

• Proficient in RESTful API development and management

Our Offer

• Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields. If you are similarly capable, caring, and driven, you'll find yourself at home here.

• Experience a truly flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members. Having an opinion and voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo.

• Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth. Get to know and leverage our network of leading tech investors and advisors around the globe.

• Receive a top-of-market equity and cash compensation package.

• Get access to a self-development budget you can use to e.g. attend conferences, buy books or take classes.

• Receive a new Apple MacBook Pro, as well as meaningful home office set-up.

Our Stance

• We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply.

• We seek to actively recognize and combat racism, sexism, ableism and ageism. We embrace and support all gender identities and expressions, and celebrate love in its many forms. We won't inquire about how you identify or if you've experienced discrimination, but if you want to tell your story, we are all ears.
