Back-End Engineer - Team Agents

About the role

Taktile is building a platform for creating, publishing, and executing AI-powered agents that help teams automate complex workflows in financial services. The Agents team owns the agent execution runtime, tool orchestration, and platform infrastructure that makes this possible.

We are hiring a Back-End Engineer to help build and ship production features across this stack. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, contribute to real product impact from day one, and grow your skills in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment.

Taktile is a hybrid company. This role requires working at least 3 days per week from our Berlin HQ.

What You'll Do

- Build and ship backend features for Taktile's AI agent platform in Python (FastAPI), deployed on AWS serverless infrastructure.

- Own your work end-to-end: collaborate on scope, implement, test, release, and iterate based on real usage and customer feedback.

- Improve how agents run, how they connect to external tools, and how they behave when something goes wrong.

- Use leading-edge AI tools (e.g. Claude) on a daily basis to move faster, improve quality, and build AI-native capabilities where it makes sense.

- Review pull requests with depth, improve test coverage and CI/CD, and raise the bar on reliability and engineering excellence.

- Engage actively in team rituals such as daily syncs, planning sessions, demos, and technical deep-dive discussions.

- Grow as an individual and accelerate your career by learning from experienced team members, contributing to a foundational layer of the product, and joining cross-team learning groups.

- For career growth at Taktile, this role will involve daytime ops duty and at some point joining an on-call rotation, so you need to have passion for owning systems end to end and grow your DevSecOps skills as well.
