tem - Staff Engineer - Pricing
Requirements
• Deep production backend Python: you have designed and owned APIs at scale, and been the person others escalate to when they broke. • You have led a significant decoupling or migration of a live system without breaking what depended on it. • Strong FastAPI and SQL, and experience in data and analytics-heavy systems where the correctness of numbers costs money. • You set technical direction across teams you don't manage, and can negotiate service boundaries with neighbouring teams. • You are agent-native: you don't just use Claude or similar daily, you design multi-agent workflows that raise a whole team's throughput. • Product engineering judgement: you know who reads a price and why, and you trade off speed, accuracy and explainability deliberately. • Domain knowledge from energy pricing, fintech or neo-utilities. • Experience building APIs consumed by external third parties. • AWS and serverless patterns (Lambda, event-driven services, Postgres on RDS). • Polars, or a track record of making numerical code fast.
Responsibilities
• See our new Pricing API built from first design through to being ready for third-party access. • Lead the move of pricing logic into one service with a clean boundary, deciding when it is proven stable enough to cut over. • Design the detection, alerting and explainability that catch bad or slow prices before they ever reach a customer. • Help make pricing measurably faster for every customer quote. • Raise the engineering bar across the squad through design reviews, standards and agent-driven workflows. • Build & iteration of the Pricing API, so it is fast, correct and ready to be opened up to third parties. • Support with untangling: run the extraction of pricing logic into its own service as a programme, agreeing clean boundaries with neighbouring teams. • Own reliability: design the systems that detect pricing errors, stop bad quotes going out and explain every price we can't give. • Raise the bar: lift the standard of everyone working on pricing through design reviews, engineering standards, pairing and multi-agent workflows. • Close the loop: be the go-to engineer when live pricing incidents escalate, and turn what you learn into structural fixes on the roadmap.
