Senior Backend Engineer (m/f/d)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential digital publishing technology company based in Berlin. Our client operates a cloud-native platform serving millions of users across national media companies and enterprise clients. They specialize in content processing, enrichment, and distribution at scale.

We're seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join their core engineering team and help build the next generation of their content infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Python and FastAPI
• Build reliable data pipelines that transform raw and heterogeneous data into structured, production-ready content
• Develop and integrate production-grade LLM workflows, including prompting, structured outputs, embeddings, similarity search, and evaluation
• Build resilient integrations with third-party APIs, REST services, and webhooks
• Design and maintain asynchronous processing workflows using message queues and Redis
• Contribute to TypeScript services where needed
• Contribute to architecture decisions, code quality standards, and continuous improvement of the backend stack

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 6+ years of professional backend engineering experience
• Strong Python expertise, including FastAPI and pydantic
• Working knowledge of TypeScript — enough to read, debug, and contribute to existing services
• Experience with AI automation — building systems that integrate, govern, or orchestrate LLM-driven workflows, not just calling an API
• Experience with Redis and message queue based asynchronous processing
• Strong testing discipline with pytest and a track record of owning features end-to-end, from architecture through delivery

Nice to Have:

• TypeScript/Node.js experience with frameworks such as NestJS
• AWS or other cloud infrastructure experience
• Experience with data pipelines handling heterogeneous or unstructured input
• Familiarity with vector search and embedding stores
• Prior experience integrating with third-party content or media APIs
