About BigCircle

BigCircle is an AI-native product engineering studio. We build intelligent systems, modern platforms, and production-grade software for founders and enterprises.

We care about clarity before speed, architecture before shortcuts, and systems that scale and stay maintainable.

If you enjoy building software that ships and survives real users, you will fit here.

The Role

We are hiring a Python backend engineer who can design, build, and own reliable systems.

This is not a role where you just write endpoints and move on. You will work on backend services, APIs, data flows, integrations, background processing, and production reliability with strong ownership from day one.

What You Will Own

Design and build scalable backend systems using Python

Build and maintain REST APIs using FastAPI or Django

Design database schemas and write efficient queries using PostgreSQL or MySQL

Implement background processing and async workflows such as queues and workers

Improve system performance, reliability, and observability

Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code with strong validation practices

Own features end to end from technical planning to deployment

Participate in code reviews and architecture discussions

Must Have Skills

3+ years of hands-on backend development experience in Python

Strong fundamentals in backend architecture and system design

Experience building RESTful APIs using FastAPI, Django, or Flask

Strong database knowledge with PostgreSQL or MySQL

Experience working with ORMs such as SQLAlchemy or Django ORM

Understanding of async programming and performance trade-offs

Experience writing unit and integration tests

Comfortable with Git and collaborative development workflows

Preferred: Agentic Coding Experience

We strongly prefer candidates who have used agentic coding workflows in real projects, not just for snippets.

Experience using tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, or similar to ship production code

Comfortable with AI-assisted workflow including planning, implementation, refactoring, testing, and review

Strong judgment in validating AI-generated code with proper testing and review

Ability to create clear prompts or specifications and use AI to accelerate debugging and refactoring

Bonus if you have experience building agentic systems such as tool calling, structured schemas, or evaluation workflows

Bonus Skills

Docker and containerized deployments

AWS or GCP familiarity

Redis and caching strategies

Background job systems or event-driven architectures

Experience integrating AI or LLM APIs

Experience in a startup or product-first environment

What We Value

Ownership without micromanagement

Clear thinking and structured problem-solving

Writing decisions down instead of repeating debates

Clean, maintainable code

Engineers who care about long-term system health

Why Join BigCircle

Work on modern AI-native backend systems

High ownership and real engineering responsibility

Small team with high standards and low chaos

Opportunity to grow into subsystem ownership and technical leadership

When applying, please include your GitHub or portfolio and one or two examples of systems you have built, scaled, or improved.
