Senior Python Backend Engineer

hn · REMOTE (EMEA/APAC)
Jose is a strong technical fit with 12+ years of production engineering experience, deep Python expertise demonstrated across FastAPI, Django, and infrastructure work, and proven ability to build complex distributed systems at scale. His background with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), decentralized systems thinking (crypto wallet work), and infrastructure automation (Terraform, CI/CD) aligns well with the GPU cluster and sandboxed container requirements. The main misalignment is his recent focus on AI/LLM products rather than pure backend infrastructure, and the role's emphasis on decentralized algorithms is not directly reflected in his experience.
Hook: Your 12 years shipping production systems with Docker, Kubernetes, and infrastructure automation, combined with your crypto wallet experience building trustless systems, make you an excellent fit for building GPU-enabled sandboxed container runners.
Missing: Decentralized consensus algorithms (beyond standard PAXOS/RAFT), GPU optimization and CUDA, Large-scale distributed systems architecture (in academic or specialized context)
