About Company

TxR Ventures is building an AI-powered platform that reimagines how students learn and prepare for their careers. By combining intelligent systems with thoughtful design, we are creating scalable tools for deep, multimodal learning. Our mission is to improve student outcomes and employability through intelligent, personalized, and data-driven solutions.

About the Role

We're hiring a Lead Backend Engineer to serve as the senior technical leader for backend architecture, owning the design, performance, and scalability of the core systems that power our AI-driven platform. This is a backend-first role focused on building high-throughput services, scalable APIs, distributed processing layers, and robust data flows that support video, audio, and text-based interactions at scale for hundreds of thousands of users.

You will work closely with our ML and DevOps teams to integrate backend services with multimodal LLM pipelines and cloud infrastructure, but you will not be responsible for model development or infrastructure ownership. Your role is to ensure clean interfaces, reliable dataflow, and sound architectural choices that enable these systems to operate cohesively in production at scale.

This is a high-impact technical leadership position where you will shape backend architecture, set engineering standards, guide other senior engineers, and remain deeply hands-on in building mission-critical systems and features. You will define and enforce backend best practices across the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), ensuring high-quality code, consistent patterns, and reliable delivery. Your technical judgment and code quality will directly influence the platform's long-term scalability, reliability, and success as we expand across hundreds of thousands of users.
