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.
