Senior Backend & Platform Architect (AWS/SaaS/AI/Aviation/Weather) $170,000
- $210,000 Base + Benefits Denver, CO (Hybrid) Stack: AWS, Multi-Tenant SaaS, OAuth2/OIDC, Agentic AI (Cursor, Claude), Zarr/Pangeo Mission: Architecting the commercial aviation delivery layer for a global orbital intelligence platform. Tired of writing boilerplate code by hand and fighting legacy enterprise red tape? A high-growth global space-data platform is expanding aggressively into commercial enterprise aviation. They need an architectural-minded Senior Backend Engineer to build and scale the commercial delivery layer sitting on top of their proprietary weather and aviation data engines. This isn't a traditional boilerplate-coding role. You'll leverage bleeding-edge agentic AI loops to write code rapidly—freeing you up to solve high-level architectural bottlenecks and ship at high velocity. Why Build Here: ⚡ AI-First Velocity: Use state-of-the-art agentic workflows (Cursor, Claude) to automate grunt work and deploy to production with zero downtime. 🏗️ High-Level Architecture: Focus on distributed systems design, scaling bottlenecks, and multi-tenant isolation rather than repetitive syntax. 🚀 Commercial Aviation Scale: Build mission-critical systems engineered to meet strict enterprise aviation SLAs for uptime, security, and live tracking. 🛰️ Orbital Data Engines: Architect cloud-native access layers serving massive global telemetry and environmental datasets. The Tech & Work:
• Design and scale resilient, multi-tenant backend services on AWS for enterprise aviation clients
• Utilize agentic AI development loops to accelerate feature delivery and zero-downtime CI/CD
• Implement enterprise-grade authentication, authorization, and governance (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, GDPR, ISO 27001)
• Architect cost-effective, high-throughput data access layers using modern geospatial tooling (Pangeo, Zarr, Xarray, Dask)
• Diagnose scaling limits and own backend services end-to-end from architectural design to production Hard Filters: ✅ 5+ years of commercial backend engineering focused on system architecture, distributed systems, and multi-tenant SaaS ✅ Active, hands-on production fluency with AI-assisted engineering and agentic loops (Cursor, Claude, etc.) ✅ Deep AWS architectural mastery with a track record of end-to-end service ownership and zero-downtime deployments ✅ Strong security and reliability mindset (OAuth2/OIDC, multi-tenant data isolation, high-availability SLAs) ✅ Ability to work hybrid in the Denver, CO area ➕ Bonus: Experience with Pangeo (Zarr, Xarray, Dask) or commercial aviation/weather platforms If you are interested in this role, please apply with your resume through this site.
