Summary
Join an internal engineering team that combines startup-style autonomy with the stability of a large diversified organization. You will solve real operational problems by building internal platforms, AI-enabled tools, automation systems, and scalable backend infrastructure, with substantial freedom to prototype and ship.
Highlights
Join an internal innovation engineering team with startup-style speed and the backing of a diversified global organization. Build AI-enabled tools, automation systems, internal platforms, and backend infrastructure across multiple business domains.
Description
We are expanding Duferco’s Corporate Innovation Team: a fast-moving engineering team operating in a start-up-like environment, backed by the stability and scale of a diversified global group.
You will work on a wide variety of projects across domains such as energy, trading, logistics, steel, insurance, sports, and other sectors — not as an external consultant, but as part of the group itself, with the ownership and continuity of an internal product and engineering team.
You will build internal platforms, AI-enabled tools, automation systems, and backend infrastructure that remove operational bottlenecks, improve decision-making, and create leverage across the business.
About the Team
We sit close to real business problems and have the freedom to prototype and ship quickly.
AI is already part of our daily workflow, and we expect that role to keep expanding.
We care about building things well, shipping systems that create leverage, and working with people who make the team better.
We appreciate engineers who enjoy ownership, fast iteration, pragmatic problem solving, and AI-assisted development.
What You’ll Do
Design and build systems that make the organization faster and smarter:
Backend services and APIs, mainly with FastAPI, Postgres, and AWS-based servicesIntegrations across internal and third-party systems, often where the hard part is understanding the domain, not the codeAI-enabled automation, agents, and operational toolsEngineering tooling that improves how we build and shipData and decision-support pipelines, including data platforms and internal analytics toolingYou’ll help identify opportunities, prototype, ship, measure impact, and iterate — not just execute specs.
What We Offer
A high-autonomy role with direct influence on what gets builtModern AI-assisted engineering tools and time to explore new technologies and approachesA fast-moving, collaborative environment with talented and ambitious peopleA broad variety of technical and business challenges across different domainsCompetitive compensation and benefitsFlexible working hours and hybrid work setup
You’re Probably a Fit If
You have 5+ years building production backend systems in Python, and could comfortably own a FastAPI service from design to deploymentYou can design a data model from a messy business problem — choosing the right entities, relationships, and trade-offs — not just implement one someone else specifiedYou make pragmatic trade-offs between speed, quality, and maintainability, and can explain whyYou enjoy integration work and take the time to understand a business process before modeling it in codeYou use AI coding tools daily — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar — and have opinions about where they help and where they don’tYou’re comfortable with Postgres in production, including schema design, query performance, and migrations, and have experience with AWS
Experience with data warehouses such as Redshift, LLM applications, agent frameworks, MCP servers, or complex operational domains is a strong plus.
You do not need experience with every technology we use.
Strong engineering ability, adaptability, and willingness to learn matter much more.
If this sounds like the right fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.
