Technical Tools Mentioned: Python, Django, FastAPI, Vue.js, React Save Mark Applied Hide Job Report & Hide Job Description Copy Job Description Sema is a software company that bridges the gap between technical and non-technical audiences to help deliver excellent software while respecting the craft of coding. Our first product has analyzed >1600 companies worth over $1.6TN to help guide technologists, the C-Suite, and Boards of Directors on codebase health. We are now building our next-generation product, the Sema Intelligence Platform, an AI-based system that understands code & Jira to help keep product roadmaps on track. We are particularly excited about an agentic capability that you could become a part of. We have flat, collaborative teams where engineers are deeply involved in the product, not just siloed to tasks. Our engineering culture is built on continuous delivery and quick iterations. We are not wasting time in useless calls, unnecessary rituals, and senseless politics: we experiment, stick to what works, and cut out what doesn’t. Processes for the sake of processes are not our cup of tea. Requirements The most important requirement is a high level of seniority and the ability to think quickly and make sound engineering decisions. We believe that a smart, experienced developer can learn a new framework or technology like Django or Langchain in a short period; the innate qualities of a great engineer cannot be taught as easily. Must-Haves: Proven experience as a senior Python back-end engineer A product-focused mindset and a genuine interest in what you are building A proactive nature, with a habit of asking questions and seeking to understand the bigger picture Bonus Points (Helpful, but not required): Experience with Python web frameworks like Django or FastAPI Experience in an early-stage startup environment Experience with building with LLMs or building agentic AI systems Front-end experience with frameworks like Vue.js or React Leadership experience We value people who: Take ownership of their work Are biased for action: when you are a startup, it’s better to try quickly and roll back than to drown in endless doubts Are interested in the "why" behind their tasks and want to be involved in product decisions Thrive in a collaborative, fully remote environment; honesty and radical candor towards each other are not optional Benefits Fully remote, flexible work schedule Collaborative, flat organizational structure without bureaucracy High-impact environment — your decisions directly shape product direction Continuous learning environment and professional growth opportunities Competitive salary
