Product Engineer - Backend (Python)

Ship new products and features within Paradime DinoAI, Bolt, and Radar, focusing on dramatically improving the user experience. Work with cutting-edge generative AI and agent-based platforms to deliver an exceptional user experience in data tooling. Design and build robust integrations with various systems, apps, and platforms to expand Paradime's ecosystem. Take full ownership of what you build.

What we’re looking for

• Have working knowledge of Python and be able to adapt to Paradime's coding standards.
• Have experience working with generative AI architectures and stack, including prompt engineering, agents, vector databases, and RAGs.
• Possess a basic understanding of computer science concepts (data structures, graphs, recursion, and building simple language parsers).
• Be able to work with tools like Jira, GitHub, Sentry, and New Relic to follow a structured development process—or be willing to learn them quickly.
• Be comfortable with most of our tech stack: Python, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and Go. (It’s okay if you don’t know all of these, but you should be willing to learn.)

We’re fully remote - so you can work from anywhere within +/- 5hrs of UTC. 28 days paid annual leave + local public holidays. $2,000 per year budget for self learning and attending conferences / meet-ups. Healthcare and pension (location and contract dependent). Competitive salary and employee share options (location and contract dependent).

About Us

We are a fully-remote and venture-backed team with many years of experience in leading data and product teams at Goldman Sachs, Octopus Investments, The Guardian and Revolut. We have operated across analytics, product, marketing, customer acquisition, and growth. As co-founders we live in London. As a team we are a crazy bunch (ex-aerospace+python-dev+analytics+growth, ex-chef+data-developer+designer, maths-grad+backend-engineer). We also don’t like "agile" or "scrum" - we like solving problems as a team, we live in the details and we don’t take ourselves too seriously i.e. we laugh a lot.

Mission

At Paradime, we are building the only AI-native data platform that accelerates analytics while slashing warehouse spend. Our mission is to build the operating system for analytics. We have been building Paradime over the last 3.5 years and we are at an exciting inflection point in our journey where we are growing our team to acquire new customers, support our current users and push the boundaries of what’s possible in data tooling and AI engineering.

Who we are

We are a hard working team with background in engineering, marketing, sales, aerospace, computing, and statistics. We work backwards from our customers and users, as a result we innovate faster than our competition. Our main competitor is dbt Labs, Inc. and we have won a whooping 87.5% of deals head-to-head this year - we are small and mighty and that’s our strength. We may be small, but we are big enough to be banned by our competition from their annual conference.

Our values

We commit and execute. We’re a team above individuals. We are pragmatic and not dogmatic. We have a healthy disrespect for traditions. You would like to make your mark in the world. You believe that a superior product + grit + perseverance along with tireless execution wins when you face competition. You can think clearly under pressure or when things get tough. You are a fast learner and looking to grow professionally your skillset.

Why you should not join?

You are looking for work-life balance. The truth is startups are hard and sometimes big company perks are simply not feasible. We don’t work crazy hours, but we do produce crazy output. You are looking for stability and peace. We are a startup, things change, sometimes faster than you can anticipate. Adapting to that change is very important. You are looking for a 9-5 job. That’s not going to work. We are looking for mission driven folks who are excited by what’s possible.
