Senior Engineer, Backend
About FLORA
We build creative tools for the new creative class—an intelligent canvas where the best AI models enable professional craft. We're a team of ~20, backed by exceptional investors like Hanabi Capital, Menlo Ventures, Justin Kan, and Gabe Whaley (founder of MSCHF). Our customers span a variety of creative industries and include Pentagram, Lionsgate, and Nike.
About the role
We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to help build the backbone of FLORA's platform. You'll work across our database layer, generation infrastructure, observability, and the services that make a real-time creative tool feel effortless at scale.
We're a team of strong full-stack engineers looking for someone with deep backend expertise to tackle our hardest systems problems. You'll take ownership of complex projects, collaborate closely with engineering leadership on architecture decisions, and grow alongside the backend team as we scale.
You'll work on
Building generation orchestration infrastructure for real scale
Improving observability across our infrastructure to drive down failure rates and surface issues before users notice
Optimizing our database layer—schema design, index strategy, and migrations as we scale
Collaborating on architecture decisions to support new features
Working with the CTO, Product Engineering, and Intelligence Engineering teams to provide a stable, performant foundation for features across all clients
We’re looking for people who have:
5+ years building robust backend systems, with experience operating services at meaningful scale
3+ years of deep TypeScript experience—you have strong opinions about type safety, error handling, and code organization
Proven ability to take ambiguous problems and deliver well-designed solutions
Experience with queue-based architectures (job scheduling, orchestration, fault tolerance)
Strong instincts for observability—you've instrumented systems, built dashboards, and used data to drive reliability improvements
Stellar communication skills and a collaborative approach to technical decisions
Exceptionally strong candidates might also have experience with:
Convex, or strong opinions about real-time database architectures
Creative tools, media pipelines, or products with complex asset workflows
Queue/orchestration sophistication at scale
Serverless patterns — Vercel, AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Run, etc.
Working at FLORA
Office policy
We work in-person at the Domino Refinery building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn—with views of the East River.
Compensation and benefits
Competitive salary and meaningful equity. We also offer an Equinox membership and comprehensive health and dental coverage.
