Software Engineer, Backend

We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer to join us at Dreamwell AI, a marketing automation platform focused on influencer performance and revenue for some of the largest brands in the world. We’re an investor-backed company that recently raised a 3.1 million dollar round led by billionaire Tim Draper, alongside other top VCs and Angel Investors from Uber.

As a backend software engineer at Dreamwell, you will drive key projects at a critical time as we scale to support more customers. You’ll build and maintain complex, data-driven backend systems, sophisticated data pipelines, APIs, and infrastructure that simplify influencer campaign management and deliver actionable insights for our clients. Your work will directly impact how brands drive revenue and how influencers succeed.

At Dreamwell, we believe influencer marketing should have the sophistication of paid performance marketing channels like Facebook and Google ads. We’re building that vision, while enabling creators to earn top dollar for their content.

How You’ll Have Impact

• Build robust backend systems and services with deep ownership from architecture to deployment.

• Contribute primarily to backend development using TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Postgres, Redis, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse.

• Design and maintain complex, scalable data pipelines that power analytics and reporting tools.

• Leverage cutting-edge AI models to enhance marketing performance for our customers.

• Develop and scale backend components for new product lines like our influencer CRM, qualification toolset, and experimentation platform.

• Collaborate closely with product and frontend engineers to ensure seamless system integration.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience driving backend engineering projects from architecture to deployment, ideally within web-based platforms.

• Strong expertise in backend systems and frameworks (Node.js, Python).

• Experience building complex data pipelines, managing databases, and designing performant APIs.

• Proven track record of shipping high-quality, scalable backend services with measurable impact.

• Ability to bridge technical requirements with business and product needs.

• Willingness to roll up your sleeves and take ownership of your systems.

Culture

• Lean with Ownership: We run lean and empower autonomy. The entire platform was initially developed by a co-founder (a former staff engineer at Instacart). We value high velocity and strong output.

• Ego-free Collaboration: Our product sessions prioritize finding the best solutions for customers, combining expertise from influencers and software.

• Frontier of AI: Take ownership and build at the forefront of applied AI. You’ll have autonomy to develop solutions that redefine how brands and influencers succeed, leveraging innovative technologies.

Logistics

This is a remote-first role, with the potential to become hybrid in the future. We are building a world-class engineering team based in Toronto and periodically hold VERY FUN in-person hack weeks in awesome locations to collaborate and build solutions for our next sprints. Join us in shaping the future of influencer marketing!

Strong Equity Package and benefits.
