Team description

We're forming a new team to build the future of AI-powered document generation at PandaDoc. The team’s mission is to enable users to create high-quality business documents—like contracts, quotes, and proposals—quickly and intelligently with the help of large language models and our internal AI platform.

As a Back-End Engineer on this team, you’ll play a key role in designing and building the systems that power these new experiences. That includes integrating with our AI platform, orchestrating multi-step generation workflows, ensuring scalability and reliability, and working closely with front-end and ML engineers to deliver fast, smooth, and secure user flows.

This is a rare chance to work on a greenfield initiative with real product impact and deep technical challenges—from building APIs for smart content generation to evolving our document model to support AI-first use cases. If you're excited about creating something from scratch and pushing the limits of intelligent automation, we’d love to talk.

Our stack:

• Service-oriented architecture, but be prepared to deal with legacy code as well, such as monolithic services based on the Django framework;
• Python services are mostly written using AsyncIO frameworks and libraries, but we also have Django-based services with Celery workers under the hood;
• Amazon Web Services and K8S are used extensively for provisioning and deploying workloads;
• The main cross-service communication transports are NATS, gRPC, Kafka, and RabbitMQ;
• Prometheus/Grafana stack for monitoring and alerting;

You'll be a perfect fit for our team if you have:

• At least 5+ years of development experience with Python;
• Experience with the AsyncIO and Django frameworks;
• Experience with microservice architectures;
• Experience with any relational databases (SQL queries, migrations, optimization);
• Experience with message queues (e.g., RabbitMQ, NATS, Kafka);
• Care about quality and you know what it means to ship high-quality code;
• Put yourself in the shoes of your users and be a steward of crafting great experiences;
• Strong communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to product managers, designers, customer support, and other engineers is no problem for you;
• Hands-on experience in developing a microservice architecture;
• Experience in writing units and end-to-end tests is a plus;
• Communicate effectively in English, both spoken and written;
