Backend Software Engineer - Python/Postgres
Remote · Worldwide
This role is part of our EUDR engineering team at Enveritas. Your work will focus on the backend systems that ingest customer-submitted farm lists, validate and transform those inputs, and run them against our deforestation detection model and geospatial datasets.
Your responsibilities will include:
Backend feature development and maintenance. Implement improvements to our EUDR backend services, refine geospatial workflows, and strengthen data checks and error handling.
Investigative problem-solving. When something doesn’t look right to our Support team, you will help trace through data, assumptions, and system behavior to understand what happened and how to fix it.
Working with ambiguous or evolving requirements. EUDR is a regulated space where guidance changes, and internal requests are sometimes incomplete. You’ll help clarify what’s needed and translate it into practical engineering work.
Adapting the system to regulatory updates. As the EU releases new FAQs or adjustments, you will help interpret their implications and adapt parts of the system to remain consistent and compliant.
General backend engineering. Python + PostgreSQL/PostGIS development, improving observability, contributing to CI/CD pipelines, and helping make the system more resilient over time.
Although the role is primarily development-focused, you will also be responsible for applying and maintaining Terraform-based changes in AWS for the services you work on.
Qualifications
Strong ability to present and explain complex ideas clearly to non-technical colleagues.
Demonstrated ability to apply design patterns for creating modular and efficient software, with the ability to teach others how to solve architectural problems.
Extensive experience with Python, including developing applications and complex data processing tasks. Familiarity with Django or Flask.
Advanced experience with PostgreSQL, including query optimization, joins, stored procedures, and performance tuning.
Practical experience with Linux, Bash scripting, Docker containers, and AWS services (EC2, RDS, CloudFront).
A minimum of seven years of full-time professional experience as a backend software engineer.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent training in the principles of software engineering.
