# Senior/Staff Backend Engineer (Rust/Python)

Unlike other companies, being a Senior Engineer isn't just a pay grade or empty title for us here at akeno. It's a distinction! It means you have built successful products in the past, faced mysterious production errors and came out on top of them, know how to get stuff done right, not just fast, and you are not afraid of working on hard problems that haven't been solved before. Being a Senior Backend Engineer means you can see a feature's implications for the database, API and related services - even for complex topics like scheduling and other NP-hard problems. You'll be working in our AI & Optimization Team with teammates who "know their stuff" - colleagues who are there when you need them and who will rely on you and your engineering expertise. The automation framework and simulation engine at the core of our product will be your home turf: you'll design, build and evolve them together with the team - from the algorithms inside to the APIs they expose. We don't have dedicated architects or tech leads because frankly - if you're a true senior - you should be capable of creating a great first draft yourself. Additionally you will have Full Stack colleagues doing the heavy lifting
