We are building an early-stage real estate data platform that collects, cleans, enriches, and serves public-record and legal-notice data for real estate investors and professionals. This is not a greenfield build. We already have an existing backend repo with API routes, database models, migrations, scraping workers, tests, Docker configuration, and cloud deployment pieces. We need a strong backend engineer who can step into the existing system, understand what is working, identify what is risky, and help us get the backend stable enough for launch. The right person is practical, scrappy, and comfortable working in a startup environment where the goal is not perfection. The goal is to find the highest-leverage path to a reliable product. The platform involves: -Public-record and legal-notice data -Property data enrichment -API endpoints used by a frontend application -Data quality, reliability, and launch-readiness Current Backend Stack The backend is built primarily in Python and includes: -FastAPI -SQLAlchemy and Alembic -Postgres / Google Cloud SQL -MongoDB helper/caching layer -Scraping and ETL pipeline for public-record and legal-notice data -Playwright/Patchright-based scraping -reCAPTCHA-aware scraping workflows -LLM-based data extraction / AI-assisted parsing of unstructured notice data -Pydantic models -Google Cloud integrations: Cloud Run, Cloud Scheduler, Pub/Sub, Secret Manager, Cloud Storage, Artifact Registry -Docker -Pulumi infrastructure-as-code -GitHub Actions CI/CD -pytest, Ruff, uv You do not need to be world-class in every tool listed above, but you should be strong enough in Python backend systems, scraping/data pipelines, and cloud deployment to quickly understand the architecture and make sound technical decisions. What We Need Help With We need someone who can: -Review and understand the current backend architecture -Stabilize and improve the scraping / ETL pipeline for public-record and legal-notice data -Make sure public-record and legal-notice data is collected, parsed, stored, and served correctly -Improve backend APIs used by the frontend -Improve data quality checks for incomplete, missing, or inconsistent property records -Build and maintain property enrichment workflows using external data sources -Help design database models for richer property history and event tracking -Improve LLM-assisted parsing of unstructured legal notice data where appropriate -Debug deployment, CI/CD, Cloud Run, and infrastructure issues -Improve logging, error handling, monitoring, and observability -Strengthen test coverage where it matters -Help document the backend so future developers can contribute -Coordinate with our frontend developer to support product launch -Help prioritize backend work based on launch impact, data reliability, and technical risk Who This Is For You are likely a strong fit if you: -Like working inside existing codebases -Can diagnose messy systems without needing everything rewritten -Think in practical tradeoffs, not just ideal architecture -Are comfortable with incomplete documentation -Have experience with scraping/ETL workflows and unstructured data extraction -Can explain technical risks clearly to a non-technical founder -Prefer shipping useful improvements over debating perfect abstractions -Are willing to own outcomes, not just complete assigned tickets Who This Is Not For This is probably not the right fit if you: -Only want clean, fully documented codebases -Prefer to rebuild from scratch by default -Need enterprise-level process before making progress -Are an agency sending rotating developers -Only want tightly defined tickets with no ambiguity -Are uncomfortable with scraping, data quality, or production debugging Hiring Process We want to keep the hiring process practical and focused on real work. 1. Initial Screening We will review your proposal, background, and screening question responses. 2. Real-World Technical Scenario Strong candidates may be asked to respond to a specific backend issue from our current roadmap. We are looking for how you think, what tradeoffs you notice, and how clearly you communicate. 3. Paid Finalist Review A small number of finalists may be invited to complete a paid review of the existing backend codebase before any larger implementation work begins. Budget / Working Style We are an early-stage company and are looking for a practical, startup-minded developer. This is a paid contract role, but we are not looking for enterprise-agency rates. We value clear communication, efficient execution, and someone who can help us prioritize the highest-leverage backend work first. The first paid technical review may be structured as a fixed-price milestone. Continued implementation work may be hourly or milestone-based depending on fit. Long-Term Opportunity Our goal is to find someone who can become a long-term backend partner for the product, not just complete isolated tickets. For the right person, there may be an opportunity to grow into a technical lead / backend ownership role with additional upside tied to company performance. We are looking for someone who wants to help take a real product to market, but the initial engagement will be paid, scoped clearly, and focused on proving mutual fit.

About SimulTrayd SimulTrayd is the Premier AI-Powered Engine for Synchronizing Global Trade and Solving Economic Scarcity. Our proprietary economic intelligence system, powered by AI and quantum computing, connects the world’s strongest Exporters and Importers to execute back-to-back transactions with reliable delivery and immediate results. We are not a marketplace. We are the principal buyer to Exporters and the principal seller to Importers. About the Role This is not a typical virtual assistant position and it is not for someone looking for a routine task list to check off. As a Trade Relationship Coordinator at SimulTrayd you have one singular focus: find the missing party in a LIVE Trade and get their information as fast as humanly possible. Every Orphan Campaign you work is a LIVE Trade. We already have one party, either an Exporter or an Importer, who is actively working with us and ready to close. What is missing is the other half of the Trade. Your entire job is to find that missing party, engage them immediately and get 2 critical pieces of data: Quantity Price That is it. Those 2 items move the Trade forward. Without them the Trade dies. And if the Trade dies it means the working Exporter or Importer we already have loses confidence in us. That is unacceptable. Speed is everything in this role. The moment you are assigned an Orphan Campaign you are on the clock. You are not sending one email and waiting. You are reaching out through every available channel simultaneously, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, email, phone and Facebook, and you are not stopping until you get a response. You are “Staying in the Pocket” until you have what you need. If a contact cannot help, you do not move on. You ask for a referral. Every conversation is an opportunity to find the right person. This role requires urgency, precision and professionalism at all times. You are the direct link between SimulTrayd and our clients. How you communicate, how fast you respond and how resourcefully you work is a direct reflection of who we are as a company. If the thought of working under pressure, thinking on your feet and being relentlessly proactive excites you, this role was built for you. If you are looking for a job where sending emails counts as work, this is not the right fit. Trade Level Identification L2 - One Working: One party, either the Exporter or Importer, has provided at least 1 of the required items or has engaged with SimulTrayd to express an interest in working with us. L1 - Both Working: Both the Exporter and Importer are Working and have provided at least 1 of the required trade details. L0 - Signing: Both parties have completed their trade details and are ready to close. The goal is simple. Move every Trade through the Pipeline Flow as quickly as possible and get it to closing. Orphan Campaigns Orphan Campaigns are LIVE Trades where we already have one working party but need to find and engage the other half of the Trade immediately. Our goal is to never let the Orphan die by failing to find the corresponding Exporter or Importer. Time is of the essence. You will be assigned Orphan Campaign Google Spreadsheets containing data for the Exporters or Importers you need to contact. The spreadsheet may include Company Name, Commodity Name, ARB ID, Country, Phone Number, Email, Website and Contact Name. This information may need updating or have missing items. You will quickly research and verify the correct point of contact and reach out through all available means including LinkedIn, WhatsApp, email, phone and Facebook. Just sending one email is not acceptable. You must remain in contact until you get the 2 pieces of data or confirmation they are not interested. You must pay close attention to the specific Orphan Campaign for the product type and whether it is designed for an Exporter or Importer because the language and commodity change with each campaign. Core Responsibilities 1. Orphan Campaign Outreach Work assigned Orphan Campaign Google Spreadsheets to research, verify and contact Exporters and Importers immediately upon assignment Quickly identify the correct point of contact using Google, company websites, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Facebook and any other available resource Reach out through all available channels simultaneously. Email alone is not acceptable The 2 critical data points required are Quantity and Price. These are non-negotiable and are the sole measure of success for every outreach Additional information such as Product details, HS Code and special requirements or specifications are a bonus and great to have if the contact provides them, but never at the expense of losing the engagement or slowing down the process Stay in contact persistently and proactively until the contact provides Quantity and Price or confirms they are not interested You are “Staying in the Pocket” from the moment outreach begins until the 2 critical data points are received Use every interaction as a networking opportunity. If a contact cannot fulfill the trade, ask for referrals to the right person or company. Never waste a conversation Be aware of the product type and whether the campaign is for an Exporter or Importer as language and commodity change with each campaign 2. Inbox Management Monitor and respond to the support inbox during your shift Engage all contacts who have not yet provided Quantity and Price through all communication methods Flag any responses that include the 2 critical data points (Quantity and Price) to Chief of Trades Michele Swinick immediately Read every email carefully as most contain vital contact information and trade details This is a proactive role.
