Role description
Augment AIAbout Augment AI
Augment AI is building a platform for AI-powered insights and agentic workflows — a generic foundation we believe can drive value across many verticals.
Decision Site
, our first application on top of that platform, brings it to B2B sales: it sits on top of CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, M365 Dynamics), records and transcribes meetings, and surfaces guidance, follow-ups, and relationship insights to sellers and their buyers. Decision Site is just the start; the platform underneath it is the bigger story.
We use Decision Site heavily ourselves to run our own go-to-market. If you like being close to the product you build and shipping things you'll personally use every day, you'll fit in well here.
We're a small, fully remote team of around twelve. We have paying customers and revenue. We're early enough that the work this role does will visibly shape both the application and the platform beneath it.
The Role
We're hiring a
Senior Backend Engineer
to be a key contributor on our backend platform — owning distributed systems work, schema design, and the performance and reliability of the application our customers depend on every day.
You'll be one of a small handful of engineers, working closely with product and the customer. We need someone who can scope work, make trade-off calls, ship, and own the result without a lot of process around them.
What you'll do
- Lead backend distributed systems work, including our durable execution / agentic workflow infrastructure, background processing, and the systems that power AI-driven features.
- Own database schema design and evolution. Postgres is our primary store; Prisma is our ORM. You'll be the person we trust to get migrations right.
- Drive performance and reliability. Set the SLOs, instrument the systems, and make the calls on what to harden when.
- Collaborate with the Head of Engineering on our multi-cloud, multi-region, and single-tenant deployment work. We're navigating real decisions here — BYOC, data residency, per-customer infrastructure — as we move upmarket. Your experience and opinions are wanted in the room.
- Ship features. Backend work here doesn't sit behind glass; it lands in production and in customers' hands on a regular cadence.
What we're looking for
- 5+ years building and shipping backend systems for SaaS products.
- Strong fundamentals in distributed systems: queues, retries, idempotency, durable execution, eventual consistency, and the rest of the bestiary.
- Deep comfort with relational databases and schema evolution at production scale. You've owned Postgres or similar in production and have opinions about indexes, migrations, and lock contention.
- Production experience with at least one major cloud (Azure, GCP, or AWS). Multi-region or single-tenant experience is a strong plus.
- Daily user of modern AI-assisted development tools — this is how we work.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with our stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Express, Postgres + Prisma, Redis, Azure (App Services, Functions, Storage, AI Search), Terraform.
- Experience with durable execution systems (Temporal, Inngest, or similar).
- Experience integrating LLM APIs into production product features.
Notes
- US-only.
We are unable to sponsor visas at this time. - Two postings, one hire (for now).
We're posting Senior and Staff Backend Engineer roles to find the right fit at the right level. Apply to whichever matches how you'd describe yourself today; we'll make the level call together if needed. - Equal opportunity.
Augment AI is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic. - Where/how to apply:
