Are you a strong backend-oriented student who already builds real systems in production environments? Join Pixellot’s Content team and help power the backend infrastructure behind our AI-driven sports content platform.

The team is building the backend layer responsible for generating personalized sports moments, player insights, statistics, and performance visualizations - operationalizing our machine learning models into scalable production services. This is a highly hands-on role focused on building production-grade backend systems, integrating ML components, and working with real production data.

At Pixellot, we are dedicated to revolutionizing sports production. Our AI-powered solutions automatically capture sports events and transform them into personalized content, creating engaging experiences for players, teams, and fans. As a Backend Developer, you will directly impact the scalability, reliability, and intelligence of our core content pipelines.

As part of your role, you will:

• Build and maintain backend services using NestJS and Python.
• Develop and optimize APIs and microservices for sports-related content pipelines.
• Take product requirements (PRDs), break them down into technical tasks, and implement them end-to-end within an existing codebase.
• Integrate machine learning models into production systems and work on the services that power model-driven pipelines.
• Collaborate closely with the AI team to integrate backend systems with machine learning components.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to architectural decisions that improve system scalability and reliability.
• Work with real production data, troubleshoot issues, and continuously improve service performance.
• Write efficient, production-grade code with strong ownership and attention to system design.

You should bring with you:

• Currently a B.Sc. student in Computer Science or Computer Engineering with at least 1 year remaining in your studies.
• Availability to work 2 days per week on-site.
• Proven hands-on backend development experience in real-world production environments, such as professional work experience or technological military service.
• Strong skills in Node.js (NestJS) and Python.
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, databases, and microservice architecture.
• A modern engineering mindset - leveraging AI tools effectively while maintaining ownership, critical thinking, and production-grade standards.
• A hands-on, problem-solving mindset with a passion for backend development.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership over backend tasks end-to-end.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) or containerization tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with machine learning pipelines or experience working alongside AI/ML teams.

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• Be part of a pioneering company that is transforming the way fans consume sports content.
• Work on real, high-impact backend systems used in production environments around the world.
• Collaborate with talented engineers and AI researchers in a fast-moving, innovative team.
• Thrive in a culture that values curiosity, ownership, and continuous learning.
