About the role

  • ABOUT SYMMETRY We're solving one of the biggest challenges in modern AI workflows: fragmented context.
  • Today, project knowledge is scattered across conversations, tools, and docs-forcing teams to spend more time steering AI than actually getting work done.
  • Symmetry brings context, continuity, and observability to AI-powered work, enabling teams to ship faster, work smarter, and maximize productivity across their existing AI stack.

Responsibilities

  • Design, Build, & Maintain APIs: Build reliable, versioned interfaces that power Symmetry's product and external integrations.
  • Architect Data Systems: Design and optimize relational, vector, and graph-based data stores that represent interconnected project context.
  • Build Distributed Services: Develop and scale backend systems using modern Python frameworks and asynchronous processing patterns.
  • Integrate AI Workflows: Combine retrieval and generation pipelines to deliver context-rich, adaptive intelligence within the platform.
  • Ensure Reliability & Security: Design for fault tolerance, enforce access control, manage secrets securely, and maintain compliance with data protection standards.
  • Operate in Production: Deploy, monitor, and optimize services with meaningful metrics, alerts, and incident response practices.
  • Debug & Optimize: Trace issues end-to-end, fix root causes, and continuously improve system performance and resilience.
  • Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with frontend, design, and research to deliver reliable, user-centered experiences.
  • Own the Outcome: Document systems, write tests, and iterate post-launch using real-world feedback.
  • 5+ years building and operating backend or full-stack systems in production environments.

Skills

  • Strong Python fundamentals and experience with modern web frameworks.
  • Deep understanding of data modeling and SQL with hands-on experience in relational databases.
  • Experience designing distributed and asynchronous systems for scale and reliability.
  • Solid foundation in cloud-native operations - containerization, orchestration, monitoring, and scaling.
  • Awareness of security best practices and compliance principles.
  • Strong debugging, observability, and incident-management skills.
  • fragmented context.
