Senior Software Engineer (Full-Stack, Back-end, Python)

Back in 2012, we were a group of engineers and designers who decided we wanted to build things—so we did. Able started as an engineering and product hub building for a portfolio of early-stage startups. We built many relationships while developing products that were thoughtful, effective, and genuinely useful. But, since then, we’ve grown… and so has our ambition.

Now, we’re entering our next chapter—defined by applied AI. AI is a powerful force in the end-to-end software development cycle, and we’re creating practices that allow us to deliver software fast and more effectively than traditional approaches, creating meaningful value for our partners. Today, our builder mindset is driving us to become an AI-native organization across every function. We’re still evolving, and that’s part of the opportunity. If you want to build, learn, and tackle challenges alongside an ambitious team, let’s build together.

This position is 100% remote within LatAm.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to design and build scalable systems using Python and modern AI tooling. You will take ownership of backend systems while also helping guide technical decisions and supporting teams in delivering high-quality solutions.

What We’re Looking For

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Design and build backend systems, APIs, and intelligent workflows

• Define architecture and data flows for scalable applications

• Lead discovery and shape technical approaches for new initiatives

• Guide implementation through design reviews, code reviews, and technical direction

• Evaluate and apply AI or ML tools where they create real value

• Build systems with a focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability

• Collaborate with stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years building backend or full-stack systems in production

• Python (Advanced): Must know AsyncIO, FastAPI, and Pydantic (for complex validation)

• Graph Databases: Direct experience with Neo4j and writing Cypher queries

• Event-Driven Architecture: Comfortable with Kafka/Redpanda (Producers, Consumers, and handling async events)

• API Design: Strong GraphQL experience (Schema design, Resolvers) and WebSockets for real-time updates.

• Core Concepts: Experience building State Machines, Workflow Engines, or Rules Engines (not just CRUD apps).

• Data & Infra: PostgreSQL (JSONB/Transactional locking) and Docker/Compose

Nice to Have

• Experience owning end-to-end systems

• Experience building AI-enabled product features or integrating ML systems

• Experience working in client-facing roles or multi-project environments

Able is powered by curious, thoughtful people who care about what they build and how they build it. We’re actively investing in our team through AI training, knowledge-sharing, and hands-on experimentation to ensure everyone grows alongside the technology.

This position is 100% remote within LatAm. Strong verbal and written communication skills in English are a requirement. As a team member, you can expect:

• To work 40 hours per week, and be available during normal business hours as needed

• Payments made in USD

• 18 days of PTO per year, observance of local holidays, and an annual break between Christmas and New Years

• A monthly wellness stipend and snack boxes delivered to your home

About Able

Able builds technology products in a portfolio model. We believe that people, teams, and processes are more important than the ideas themselves, so we’ve focused on bringing great people together, and investing in their growth.

We’ve built products in a variety of industries. Everything from media to finance to toys to healthcare. Sometimes we work with management teams to help their businesses grow faster or unlock value using technology. Other times we start or buy businesses outright. Each time, we look for opportunities to leverage technology built at the portfolio-level to drive value faster.

Able is committed to inclusion and diversity and is an equal-opportunity employer. All applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or veteran status.

This is but the beginning of a conversation we’d love to have with you.

Apply, and let’s get this adventure started!
