What the role involves

At Dart, we’re building an AI-native product suite with a world-class user experience—and powerful infrastructure behind the scenes. Our backend is deeply mission-critical, and we’ve invested in a modern stack (Python, Django, Postgres, Redis, REST, AWS) to deliver speed, reliability, and flexibility at scale.

We’re looking for backend engineers who thrive on product complexity, care about performance and correctness, and are excited to work with cutting-edge AI both in what we build and how we build it.

What You’ll Do

Build and scale LLM-powered systems that support agents, AI-assisted planning, chat with tasks/docs, and more

Use LLMs and other AI tools in your development workflow to ship faster and with higher quality

Design and maintain robust APIs and backend services using Python + Django

Optimize data models and queries across a PostgreSQL + Redis foundation

Work flexibly and autonomously across a wide range of product and technical challenges

Improve existing systems and architect new ones as Dart’s capabilities grow

Support and strengthen mission-critical operations as part of a high-ownership team

Collaborate closely with frontend, design, and product teams to shape how features are built

Participate in user feedback loops and design reviews with leaders and customers

Take initiative, move quickly, and learn fast—especially from real usage and live data

About Dart

Dart is a fully-featured project management tool that lets you chat with AI to create tasks, plan roadmaps, generate reports, and handle any other PM work. You can then use customizable agents to complete work across every role. Thousands of teams use Dart in order to chat with their tasks, plan better, and eliminate regular PM chores from their schedule, freeing up seven hours per week to focus on other work.
