Hi 👋
Workonomics are partnering with a recently - funded ($10m Seed ) startup solving a complex technical challenge: how to build a reliable, high-integrity, cross-border data system that stays fresh, accurate, and queryable at scale.
They’ve spent the last two years building the foundations: real-time ingestion pipelines, a unified European data graph, and an agentic layer that turns noisy signals into clear, structured, actionable intelligence.
They're already trusted by leading fintechs, so this isn’t a hypothetical problem . The product is live, creating value, and actively reshaping how companies execute a key part of their business.
They’re hiring a Senior Backend Engineer (Python) to help:
- build a robust, secure, resilient data ingestion layer capable of handling diverse and high - volume data sources
- develop a performant scraping and parsing layer to reliably capture and structure data from the web and other external systems
- deliver customer - facing APIs and developer-friendly documentation that enable a seamless self-service product experience
- drive better reliability, scalability, and developer productivity
They’re looking for someone with experience in:
- Python for building production systems
- cloud platforms ( GCP is ideal, but AWS or Azure also work well)
- relational database modelling ( PostgreSQL or MySQL )
Bonus points for:
- familiarity with C++ , Rust , or Go
- experience scraping external data sources
- exposure to the financial services / fintech domain
If this sounds like you, hit apply and I’ll share more details about the team, culture, and roadmap.
