Role

Who you are

If you’re ambitious, have a strong software engineering background, love doing the simple things exceptionally well, and enjoy propelling a small, dynamic team forward, this role is for you!
At least 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a proven track record of leading complex projects in a senior capacity (2+ years)
Deep expertise in building and scaling distributed backend systems, ideally using Python on cloud platforms like AWS, and comfort with the challenges of high-availability, low-latency services
Proven ability in system design, experience making key architectural decisions, and a passion for engineering best practices
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders on a shared vision
A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent professional experience that demonstrates a deep understanding of engineering fundamentals
The ability to work in a hybrid model from our Berlin HQ, our London office or the Iasi hub
We're eager to meet talented and driven candidates regardless of whether they tick all the boxes. We're looking for someone who will add to our culture, not just fit within it. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underestimated and underrepresented in tech to apply

What the job involves

Taktile is a high-growth, post product-market-fit start-up, on a fast trajectory to becoming market leader in the field of automated decisioning
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Decide Team, which is tasked with owning our core decision execution engine at Taktile, complex backend systems involved in feature computation, as well as the overall decision flow canvas
Design, build, and enhance our core backend services using Python on AWS, taking ownership of our execution engine, feature computation backend, and other mission-critical subsystems
Lead architectural discussions, make key design decisions, and champion engineering best practices to ensure our platform is scalable, reliable, and secure
Elevate the entire team by mentoring fellow engineers through thoughtful code reviews, collaborative problem-solving, and active knowledge sharing
Optimize our development processes, automation, and tooling to improve deployment frequency, system reliability, and the overall developer experience
Partner closely with cross-functional teams, including Product and Design, to translate requirements into robust technical solutions and influence the product roadmap

Our take

Taktile’s goal is to enable financial services enterprises to adopt machine learning (ML) technology and deliver ML applications. Whilst ML may seem old news, these businesses have been slow to adopt it due to a shortage of expertise, IT resources and regulatory freedom.

This means that the wealth of data at their fingertips tends to go underutilized. With Taktile, these organizations can easily deploy, maintain, and monitor ML applications on a single platform, finally putting crucial ML tools in the hands of enterprise level businesses.

Taktile has inspired impressive confidence in some high-profile backers, including Y Combinator, and the founders of industry behemoths like Datadog and Github. With platforms like Taktile's playing a facilitating role in the AI revolution of financial services, the road ahead should provide ample opportunity for innovation and growth.
