Job Description
Team: Integrations - Distributed Systems | Multi-Tenant Architecture
Compensation: $180,000 - $210,000 base + bonus + equity
Location: Hybrid in Nashville TN
About the Role
At 360 Privacy, we build platforms that protect executives and organizations from digital risk. Our systems map identity, access, and exposure across people, systems, and data, and turn that into actionable protection.
We’re looking for a Staff Backend Engineer to design and own core backend systems that power our platform. This is a hands-on IC role focused on building durable, scalable systems in Python alongside other senior and staff engineers.
You’ll work on foundational backend services that other teams depend on. Architecture decisions are made collaboratively with your peers; you’ll contribute meaningfully to how we design and evolve the platform, not just execute within it.
This role has real architectural leverage. You will design systems that define how the company builds for years to come.
What You’ll Do
- Design and implement production-grade backend systems in Python, collaborating closely with peer staff engineers on design decisions
- Contribute to shared architecture decisions across services, APIs, and data models
- Help the team evolve and scale a fast-moving platform without sacrificing correctness or reliability
- Partner with the team to raise the bar on reliability, observability, and failure handling
- Mentor engineers and raise the backend engineering bar
- Communicate clearly across backend, product, and frontend- someone who makes the engineers around them more effective
Basic Requirements
- 8+ years of backend engineering experience
- Deep, production-level experience in Python
- Experience designing and evolving distributed systems
- Strong API design and data modeling skills
- Experience owning systems end-to-end (design → rollout → production operations)
- Experience operating services in cloud environments (AWS preferred)
- Strong judgment around reliability, performance, and failure modes
Preferred Requirements
- Experience with data-heavy or high-throughput backend systems
- Multi-tenant SaaS architecture and data isolation patterns
- Cryptography fundamentals (JWT, signing, key management, PKI concepts)
- Background in privacy, security, or compliance-adjacent domains
Compensation & Eligibility
This role has a target base salary range of $180,000 – $210,000. Final compensation is based on demonstrated experience, interview performance, and scope of impact. In addition to base salary, we offer bonus potential and equity participation.
Due to applicable data protection and privacy requirements, this role is limited to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders).
