Net2Phone is seeking a Senior Python Engineer with deep backend expertise and practical experience integrating AI into production systems. You’ll join our agile R&D team working on greenfield initiatives that harness LLMs, cloud infrastructure, and data-driven systems to build powerful new tools for real-world use.
Important note:

- Rapidly prototype and iterate on MVPs and product concepts.
- Collaborate in a small, innovative R&D team with full autonomy and high impact.
We expect you to have:
- Expert-level Python development experience in backend-heavy environments.
- Strong experience using LLMs via APIs and prompt engineering (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic).
- Deep understanding of cloud architecture, distributed systems, and deployment best practices.
- Proven skills in database design, optimization, and handling large datasets.
- Startup or R&D mindset: independent, curious, fast-moving, and pragmatic.
- Excellent communication skills and fluent English (B2+ or higher).
- Nice to have: Full-stack capability with experience in React or modern frontend frameworks.
We are pleased to offer:
- Remote work opportunity!
- B2B Employment ($, gross).
- Great learning and growth opportunities.
- Compensation for professional training, seminars, and conferences.
Why Join Us?
- Work on truly greenfield AI-powered products with a small, elite team.
