Backend Engineer

yeet is built by a tight-knit group of systems, observability, and kernel nerds who refuse to accept “mystery outages” as normal. We’re a small, high-impact team with domain expertise in Linux, eBPF, performance instrumentation, and developer tooling.

We move fast, ship often, and take deep ownership. If you enjoy operating close to the metal, building tools that real engineers lean on during 3 AM incident sprints, and solving hard problems with minimal overhead, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to help us scale the systems behind yeet’s real-time observability platform.

Our backend is composed primarily of Python micro services, but this isn’t just another “wrap an API around Postgres” role.

You’ll be working on streaming systems, high-throughput data ingestion, and async task pipelines that need to move fast, replicate elastically, and stay reliable under load.

You have solid experience building backend services in Python , from design to production.

You’re comfortable with streaming data pipelines, pub/sub, and real-time messaging systems .

You understand how to design for throughput, reliability, and fault tolerance in distributed systems.
