Founding Backend Engineer (Python / Django)

Company: Pulse Group
Apply for the Founding Backend Engineer (Python / Django)
Location: London
Job Description:

London | 4 days onsite, 1 WFH


Pulse Group are proud to be working with an incredibly exciting AI-native startup building a next-generation product that goes far beyond “just another chatbot!”


They’re creating a proactive AI Lifestyle Operating System for some of the world’s highest-performing founders, athletes and creatives, using AI to actually advise, execute and manage across travel, dining, wellness, experiences and more.


The business has already raised $12m from an impressive group of investors and is now expanding its founding engineering team.


This is a genuinely hands-on, high-ownership position working directly alongside the CTO, building the backend infrastructure behind the product and taking features all the way from idea to production.


What we’re looking for:



  • 5+ years building production backend systems

  • Strong SQL and PostgreSQL knowledge

  • Experience with background processing, ideally Celery

  • Hands-on experience with LLMs or AI infrastructure

  • Cloud-native production experience, ideally GCP

  • Exposure to RAG, agent-based systems or orchestration is a big plus

  • Someone who enjoys ownership, solving difficult engineering problems and shipping


Tech: Python | Django | DRF | Celery | GCP | Terraform | PostgreSQL | LLM Integrations | Agent Orchestration | RAG | REST APIs | CI/CD


This isn’t one for someone looking to disappear into a huge engineering organisation. It’s a small, senior founding team where you’ll be close to the CTO, close to the product and have genuine influence over the technical direction as the company scales.


If you’re a seriously good Python/Django engineer who wants to build at the sharp end of applied AI, drop me a message for a confidential chat.
