Senior Backend/Data Engineer (Python · GCP · Vertex AI) (Remote, PH based only)

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Backend / Data Engineer (Python · GCP · Vertex AI) to work on pi-sentiment — an existing Python-based sentiment analysis and social data pipeline on Google Cloud for a remote Europe-based client. For this role, we only process candidates that are based in the Philippines and have legal authorization to work in the Philippines.

Requirements

• Strong Python in production: type hints, Pydantic, pytest, clean module boundaries.
• GCP under load: Cloud Run, BigQuery, Cloud Storage.
• SQL that survives review: complex BigQuery or Postgres — window functions, partitioning, query optimization.
• LLM integration in production: you’ve shipped a feature backed by Vertex AI, OpenAI, or Anthropic, and you know what structured outputs and prompt regressions feel like.
• Cross-stack literacy: you can read a Next.js / TypeScript PR, understand what data it needs, and co-design the contract with our frontend engineer.

Benefits

• Real ML in production: Gemini with real cost, latency, and quality trade-offs — not prototypes
• End-to-end ownership: from ingestion to the Supabase row the frontend reads, the whole path is yours
• A small team, no silos: one PO, one frontend engineer, you. Decisions are fast because the room is small.
• Remote and async. We don’t care where you work or when, as long as you communicate and ship.
• Learning budget for conferences and courses.
