Backend Engineer building scalable systems with Python and Golang.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Backend Engineer with 6+ years building scalable, production-grade systems across logistics, eCommerce, and AI-powered platforms. I focus on Python and Golang, designing microservices and real-time data pipelines that integrate cleanly with third-party services.
I maintain and scale the Transcribe backend service at Intron, integrating it with LLM inference engines for speech-to-text and voice AI use cases. I’m also building SendPiper as Founding Engineer to unify business messaging into one streamlined platform.
Previously, I led backend development for platforms including Sendbox’s marketplace and consolidation services and Renda’s vehicle management and payment infrastructure. At Sendbox, I spearheaded warehousing and inventory management, built an e-commerce experience, orchestrated fulfillment integrations, and designed a powerful search engine using Atlas MongoDB Search.
I care about writing reliable, maintainable code and building systems that hold up under real-world scale—combining solid engineering fundamentals with a startup builder’s mindset. I’m open to backend and Golang engineering opportunities where I can keep solving hard infrastructure problems.
