[Remote] Senior Backend Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Awear is a stealth-mode startup building an Agentic OS. The Senior Backend Engineer will build its foundational backend infrastructure, including agent runtime and orchestration, memory and context, LLM routing, real-time communication, privacy and security, and mobile-to-wearables systems.

Responsibilities

• You'll build the backend infrastructure that powers our Agentic OS — the agent runtime, the memory and context layer, the LLM routing system, and the privacy architecture that makes all of it trustworthy
• You'll work directly with the CEO and a small, high-trust engineering team across Silicon Valley, Paris
• Agent runtime and orchestration infrastructure — session management, intent routing, tool execution
• Persistent memory and context layer — encrypted, anonymized, and privacy-compliant from day one
• LLM routing and multi-provider integration — LLM agnostic by design, supporting regional models globally
• Real-time communication systems — low-latency APIs supporting always-on contextual awareness
• Privacy and security architecture — E2E encryption built in, not bolted on
• Mobile-to-wearables infrastructure — designed to minimize cloud dependency and support edge computing as the platform evolves to hardware

Skills

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience
• Strong Python — FastAPI, async patterns, production-grade API design
• Real-time communication experience — WebSockets, SSE, gRPC, or similar
• PostgreSQL or comparable relational database experience at scale
• Strong familiarity with security and encryption protocols and standards
• Cloud deployment experience on GCP or AWS with Kubernetes
• Active user of AI-assisted development tools with a genuine point of view on how to use them well
• Strong written English and proven remote collaboration skills
• Ideally in consumer AI, real-time systems, or platform infrastructure
• LLM integration experience, E2E encryption or privacy-preserving architecture, edge computing awareness, Terraform, Helm, ArgoCD

Benefits

• Meaningful early-stage equity
• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Fully remote with occasional in-person time in Silicon Valley or Paris for key milestones
