About this role

Senior Backend Python Engineer Poland About Shelf Shelf builds software that helps enterprises make AI work in the real world.

Job Description: This role is for a senior backend engineer who can own important systems, not just implement tickets. You will take ambiguous problems, design the right backend approach, ship it, and keep it healthy in production. We want someone who is strong technically, communicates clearly, and has the judgment to make systems simpler, safer, and easier to evolve over time. This is a product engineering role with real ownership from system design through production. Location - Warsaw, work from the office. What You Will Own Design and ship backend services, APIs, data flows, and background processing for production systems. Turn vague requirements into concrete technical plans, trade-offs, and execution. Own services after launch: reliability, observability, performance, and incident follow-through. Make sound decisions around system boundaries, data models, interfaces, and scaling paths. Write clear technical specs, architecture notes, and diagrams when they help the team move faster. Work closely with product, frontend, and platform engineers to deliver end-to-end outcomes. Improve engineering leverage with AI tooling, automation, and internal workflows rather than using AI as a gimmick. Raise the quality bar through code review, design review, and pragmatic technical leadership. What Strong Performance Looks Like You reliably move important backend work forward without waiting to be tightly managed. Your systems
