Senior Backend Software Engineer (US-based) — Part-time Contract, ~3 weeks | 🔥 Urgent
We're looking for a strong Senior Backend Engineer to join an existing client team and add engineering bandwidth during a critical push tied to a major distribution deal!
About the engagement:
This is a short-term, part-time contract (~3 weeks) — not a full-time hire. The architecture and roadmap are already defined; the client needs a hands-on senior engineer who can plug into the team fast and execute. In their words: "We need bandwidth."
What you'll do:
Help build MCP (Model Context Protocol) support for existing production features of the KnowMe.com platform. This is an execution-focused task, not R&D — well-scoped work that simply needs more hands, quickly.
What we're looking for:
- Senior Backend Software Engineer
- Strong API development & integrations experience
- Hands-on experience with crawlers / web crawling
- Nice to have: AI/LLM integrations or MCP experience
Requirements:
- Must be US-based (international candidates are not considered at this time due to equipment logistics and background check timelines)
- Willing to sign an NDA and complete a background check (client is SOC2-compliant)
- Company laptop will be provided
Hiring process:
1. Screening call
2. Technical interview
3. Live practical test with full screen sharing
4. Fast start upon successful completion
⚡ Timing is critical — the client needs someone onboarded ASAP. If this sounds like you or someone in your network, please reach out immediately.
