Senior Product Engineer (Remote EMEA)

Location: Fully remote (EMEA timezone)
Start date: ASAP
Languages: Fluent English required
Industry: Enterprise Software / AI / Data Infrastructure

Pragmatike is recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing, AI-first enterprise software company building a next-generation semantic intelligence layer for large-scale business data.

Their platform sits on top of complex enterprise systems and transforms fragmented, highly customized data into structured, business-meaningful information that AI systems can reliably understand and act on. By bridging the gap between raw enterprise data and AI, they enable more accurate automation, decision-making, and scalable intelligence across organizations.

We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer with strong experience in building data-intensive, production-grade systems. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on designing and owning core backend infrastructure that powers semantic data processing and intelligent applications.

You will play a key role in shaping the platform from the ground up, working across data pipelines, backend services, and APIs. This position requires a strong product mindset, architectural ownership, and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, early-stage environment.

• Design, build, and own backend systems that transform raw enterprise data into structured, business-meaningful representations

• Develop and maintain scalable data processing pipelines, semantic storage layers, and versioning systems

• Own features end-to-end, from data modeling and backend logic to API design and integration layers

• Make and defend architectural decisions, balancing long-term scalability with short-term execution speed

• Build robust, production-grade APIs and services to power internal and external applications

• Integrate modern AI tools into development workflows to accelerate implementation, testing, and documentation

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, impactful features

• Contribute to engineering best practices and help shape a scalable, maintainable platform architecture

• 5+ years of experience as a Backend Engineer, Software Engineer, or Product Engineer in a SaaS or product-driven environment

• Strong experience building data-intensive or distributed systems in production

• Proficiency in backend development (e.g., Python, Java, or similar languages)

• Solid understanding of APIs, data modeling, and cloud-based architectures

• Experience working with modern cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerized environments

• Ability to make pragmatic technology choices based on problem context rather than fixed stack preferences

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to break down complex systems into scalable solutions

• Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Collaborative mindset with a strong sense of ownership and accountability

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools in a practical, productivity-focused way

• Experience with data pipelines, ETL/ELT systems, or large-scale data processing architectures

• Familiarity with semantic systems such as knowledge graphs, ontology mapping, or data catalogs

• Exposure to enterprise systems or complex ERP environments

• Experience with graph databases (e.g., Neo4j) or analytics platforms

• Background in AI/ML systems or integrating AI models into production workflows

• Previous experience in early-stage startups or building systems from scratch

• Build foundational technology enabling AI to operate reliably on complex enterprise data

• Take ownership of core backend systems in a high-impact, early-stage environment

• Work on technically challenging problems at the intersection of data, AI, and enterprise software

• Join a highly collaborative, product-focused team with strong engineering standards

• Gain exposure to cutting-edge approaches in semantic data modeling and AI integration

• Grow with a company that values transparency, ownership, and long-term impact
