About Gallatin
At Gallatin, we are rebuilding logistics infrastructure for the national security missions of the United States and allied partners. We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made — not just how they're executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Backend Software Engineer to design, build, and scale the core systems that power our AI-driven logistics platform. This is a foundational role: you’ll own reliable, high-performance backend services, APIs, and data pipelines that our products depend on.
What You'll Do
-
Backend Development & System Design
-
Create scalable, resilient backend services and APIs for our logistics solutions.
-
Own system architecture, balancing performance, scalability, and security.
-
Partner with front-end, AI/ML, and product teams to integrate services smoothly.
-
Drive high availability and reliability through proactive monitoring, logging, and alerting.
-
Build and maintain thorough testing strategies (unit, integration, and performance) to keep the platform stable.
-
-
Data Processing & Integration
-
Develop pipelines that ingest data from real-time, batch, structured, and unstructured sources.
-
Ensure data is consistent, reliable, and available through thoughtful schema design and database optimization.
-
-
Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
-
Contribute to code reviews, coding standards, best practices, and documentation.
-
Track backend development trends and introduce improvements to our stack where they make sense.
-
Support the onboarding and mentoring of new teammates as the team grows.
-
What We’re Looking For
-
Strong Technical Background
-
Proficiency in one or more backend languages: Python, Node.js, Typescript or Java
-
Solid understanding of API design and implementation (REST, GraphQL).
-
