Engagement Overview

Inflect is engaging an independent Backend Engineer Consultant in Mexico through Rippling (acting as a Contractor of Record) to build, deliver, and maintain provider adapters and gateway backend services that onboard new supply providers into the marketplace. This is an autonomous, high-impact consulting engagement focused on API integration architecture, Go backend service delivery, and supporting the migration from bespoke adapters toward self-serve provider onboarding workflows.

Working as an external subject matter expert, you will provide technical execution across the Integrations & Gateway surface, ensuring our marketplace supply ingestion, pricing engines, and adapter services run with high availability, observability, and automated resiliency.

Who We Are

We are a US-based advisory and marketplace that is revolutionizing the way companies buy and sell digital infrastructure (Datacenter, cloud, and network services). Digital infrastructure services are the building blocks of the internet and at the core of every industry. Traditionally it’s been bought manually through service provider sales people, resulting in high costs, slow procurement cycles, and services that aren’t the best fit - slowing down the ability of companies to build and innovate. 

Inflect’s marketplace and advisory are removing friction so any company can get what they need, when they need it, with the right deal terms. By achieving our mission, we unlock businesses to build and human innovation to inflect!
