We're looking for a backend engineer passionate about building robust and scalable systems, excited about working with modern cloud technologies and distributed systems to power our Document Engine and SaaS products.
You find satisfaction in architecting high-performance solutions, optimising system reliability, caring for the cloud infrastructure our products run on, and creating efficient backend services that handle complex document processing workflows at scale. Execute on the design and implementation of high-performance Elixir/Phoenix-based systems such as Nutrient's Document Engine and Web Services APIDesign and build declarative infrastructure, robust, scalable and easy to observe and maintain (we are currently using Terraform, Terramate and FluxCD on Kubernetes, with Helm charts powering both our managed cloud and customer self-hosted deployments)Operate and evolve our managed cloud platform: cluster lifecycle and upgrades, GitOps workflows, observability, and database operations, keeping it reliable, secure, and costefficientShare ownership for architecture, tools and services,



contribute to product development and customer successCollaborate closely with a small, remote-first engineering team to ship features, debug hard problems, and continuously improve reliabilityBuild systems and workflows that use AI to speed up our work, from agent-driven investigation of performance issues to automating repetitive engineering tasksMeet in person with the team periodically to align and reflectWhat You'll Bring... Experience in backend services and distributed systemsA track record running production workloads on Kubernetes and public cloud (we use AWS), ideally with infrastructure-as-code and GitOps practicesStrong coding

skills:
Elixir experience isn't required, we'll help you learnYou work AI-native: agents are part of how you research, investigate and ship code, and you stay fully accountable for what goes outA pragmatic approach to code: you appreciate clean architecture but know when good enough is the right callA culture of direct feedback: you speak up when something isn't right and take feedback just as wellWho Thrives Here... Owners: You take responsibility for solutions and outcomes, always looking for ways to improve what's within your control.
You'll help run and evolve the managed cloud behind Document Engine (cluster lifecycle, GitOps, and observability), not just ship services on top of it.
Elixir and Phoenix for the product, Kubernetes with Terraform, Helm, and FluxCD for the infrastructure it runs on.
Fully remote and async-first: Minimal meetings, strong writing culture, and the independence to manage your own work.
Nutrient's platform is trusted by 15%+ of the Integral 500 across 80+ countries.
