About the role
<h2>WHO WE ARE 🌍</h2> <p>Creating content that resonates is great — turning that attention into growth is even better. That's what Manychat does.</p> <p>Our AI-powered automations help creators and brands engage with audiences across Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and TikTok — at the right moment, with the right message, minus the manual work.</p> <p>We're 400+ people across three continents behind the leading platform for conversational growth, with AI skills shaping how we build, how we work, and how we grow.</p> <h2>WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR 🌟</h2> <p>You've built backend systems at real scale before — you know what breaks under load and how to design around it early. You make the call on a fuzzy problem, defend it, and adjust as you go, with an entrepreneurial streak that thrives on building something from scratch. You want a direct line to the people using what you build and you judge your work the way they do: by whether it actually moves the metric.</p> <h2>YOUR FUTURE TEAMMATES 👋</h2> <p>We've built Manychat into the #1 chat platform. Now we're moving forward and building a new product, <a href="https://manychat.com/brands">Manychat for Brands</a>, from scratch: architecture, infrastructure, all of it. We shape what gets built and talk to our users directly — code quality matters, but the real impact we make for our customers matters more. As the product grows, you grow with it, with room to lead your own scope.</p> <h2>WHAT YOU'LL DO 🚀</h2> <ul> <li>Build Manychat for Brands from the ground up — the product brands use to run campaigns with creators: inviting them, handling consent, connecting their automations and data. Small codebase, early days.</li> <li>Ship to real design partners in your first weeks. You're in the partner channels, you see it break, you fix it — no layers between you and the user.</li> <li>Own problems that aren't solved yet: observability from zero, migrating off fragile infra, cutting PHP dependencies, auth and permissions, scaling data pulls that are already slow.</li> <li>Decide how things get built. The team's small, so you set the patterns the next engineers inherit.</li> <li>Shape what gets built with PMs and leadership — the product's still taking shape, so your calls move the product itself, and the code.</li> <li>Build on Manychat's production infrastructure, serving millions of users — real scale from day one.</li> <li>Judge your work by whether it lands for brands and creators — watch the metrics as closely as the code.</li> </ul> <h2>TO SHINE IN THIS ROLE 💥</h2> <p><strong>You'll need:</strong></p> <ul> <li>8+ years building backend systems in Python.</li> <li>Deep Fast
