📋 Description
• Catio is building the world’s first AI-powered Copilot for Tech Architecture helping CTOs, architects, and developers plan high-ROI architectures.
• This is a high-impact, deeply technical individual contributor role where you’ll be designing and building the intelligent backend systems that power Catio’s AI-first platform for cloud-native architecture planning.
• You’ll be working at the intersection of distributed systems, data pipelines, and ML infrastructure to power our agentic AI recommendations and architecture insight workflows.
• This is not your average backend role—it demands systems thinking, architectural curiosity, and a passion for enabling deep visibility and expert automation for modern tech stacks.
• You’ll help bring to life our vision of becoming the go-to Copilot for tech stack architecture, by contributing to the intelligence layer that understands infrastructure, models system behaviors, and suggests improvements that drive engineering and business ROI.
• We’re looking for a rising star IC—someone who is technically rigorous, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to own meaningful product and platform depth from day one.
• If you’re someone who has built 0→1 systems, consistently raised the bar in engineering quality, and believes in the power of great tooling for tech leaders, this is your platform.

🎯 Requirements
• 4+ years of experience in backend engineering at top-tier startups or technology companies, although we are not opposed to less experienced candidates with outstanding expertise.
• Proven track record of building scalable, production-grade systems, ideally in 0→1 product environments.
• Expertise in modern backend languages and frameworks (Go, Python preferred), with a passion for clean, idiomatic, maintainable code.
• Deep knowledge of distributed systems and microservices architectures, with practical familiarity in observability and DevOps tooling.
• A systems-thinking mindset and a passion for solving architecture and infrastructure challenges—especially for the cloud-native space.
• Strong aptitude for performance tuning, debugging, and technical architecture design.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI-assisted development (e.g. Cursor, ChatGPT, Claude Code), with an openness to leveraging emerging technologies.
• A high-trust personality with a growth mindset—able to collaborate across teams, share context, and own outcomes.
• Academic strength in Computer Science or related field; graduate-level education is a plus.

🏖️ Benefits
• Top-tier compensation for startups at our stage, ensuring highly competitive salaries along with significant equity in a rapidly growing, VC-backed company.
• Commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace and welcome applicants of all backgrounds and identities.
