Senior Backend Engineer - Brazil

**About Artisan** At Artisan, we’re building real AI employees \- not copilots, not assistants, but autonomous teammates. Our first, Ava, is an AI BDR. She finds and researches leads, writes emails in customers’ tone of voice, runs outbound sequences, self\-optimizes, and manages email deliverability infrastructure. She learns, adapts, and improves over time \- just like a human would. Human team members use Artisan as their primary working platform, replacing a sprawling stack of sales tools, and have Artisans working alongside them. We went through Y Combinator (W24\) and have raised $35M\+ from top investors. We’re at $7M\+ ARR, with hundreds of customers including Remote, Quora, and SumUp. We’re currently working on Ava 2\.0, pushing the boundaries of what an AI employee can do. And we're hiring. **Your Mission** You’ll design, build, and scale the backend that powers AI employees while following our principles: * Velocity is Everything: keep the 20/80 rule in mind, delay kills growth * Think Like a Founder: ship with quality, have strong opinions, and speak up if you disagree * Operate With Efficiency: put the customer first, write it down, and use AI wherever possible * Communication Rules Everything: be clear and concise, give candid, unsolicited feedback * Meetings, But Make Them Useful: don’t attend meetings where you don’t add or extract value; Presence ≠ productivity * Vibes Matter: have a positive attitude, make others feel appreciated, we’re here to win **What You Bring** * 4\+ years of backend engineering experience in high\-growth environments, preferably early\-stage or Series B. * Strong experience building scalable, data\-intensive services with modern APIs and robust infrastructure. * Proficiency with AWS and GitHub Actions. * Deep understanding of distributed systems, APIs, reliability, performance, and database systems (SQL \+ NoSQL). * Experience with modern stacks \- TypeScript/Node preferred, but equivalent backend stacks are welcome. * Demonstrated track record of ownership \- leading parts of systems independently and shipping with impact. * Excellent communication, clarity in articulating architecture to technical and non\-technical stakeholders. **What Makes This Role Stand Out** * Stay relevant: At Artisan we are creating AI employees and you'll learn how to not be replaced by one. * Ownership and autonomy: You'll be given trust, and expected excellence. * Compensation: Real equity upside and compensation aligned with high expectations and high impact. * Culture: Have a chat with our teammates, each and everyone has a clear reason about why they love it. **Details** * Role: Engineering * Eng type: Backend * Job type: Full\-time * Experience: 4\+ years * Location: Brazil * Remote: Remote
