Job description
Backend Engineer (Early-Stage / Founding Team) PixaSocial Ai, Albuquerque NM (onsite/hybrid)
ABOUT PIXASOCIAL AI
PixaSocial Ai creates viral social content powered by proprietary psychology and psychographic models. It generates posts, visuals and campaigns, then publishes across Instagram, X, LinkedIn and 12+ other channels. Product surfaces include Brand Influencers, Product UGC Studio, Reel Factory, Media Studio, image/video/voice generation, and agentic campaign operators with persona export. Legal entity: Pixasocial LLC, 1209 Mountain Road PL NE Ste N, Albuquerque, NM 87110, USA this role is onsite/hybrid at that HQ.
THE ROLE
Founding-team backend seat in Albuquerque. You architect and build backend systems and AI-adjacent capabilities while sitting close to the people shipping the product not a remote-only ticket queue.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Architect and implement the backend the app actually runs on: APIs, persistence, jobs, and the glue between generation, media and publish.
- Own server-side AI capability: job orchestration for image/video/voice, webhooks, status, retries with platform and psych-stack engineers, not a model wrapped in a vacuum.
- Make data models that survive a real SaaS: workspaces, assets in Media Studio, campaigns, channel connections, usage.
- Tighten the path from "generate" to "schedule/post" so failures are visible and recoverable.
- Raise the quality of the boring things early products skip: authz, auditability of publishes, migrations, backups of customer media metadata.
- Sit with founders on sequencing: what we build this month vs. what we must not pretend is done.
- Write the docs and API notes a global remote engineer can use without pinging Albuquerque at 2am their time.
- Live in the product: register, build a campaign, publish a test post.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Mid-level backend engineer who has taken services from sketch to production and on-call.
- Likely Python and/or TypeScript, HTTP APIs, queues, Postgres. Comfort with object storage and third-party APIs (social, generation) matters more than a branded framework.
- You can design a schema and an API, then change them without breaking clients.
- High agency you do unglamorous work (logs, migrations, a stuck publish job) without waiting for a PM ticket.
- Able to work onsite/hybrid in Albuquerque, NM. This listing is not fully remote.
NICE TO HAVE
- Prior early-stage backend where you were one of a few people on the server.
- Media pipelines, webhooks, or social-platform APIs.
- Enough inference/job-queue literacy to debug a stuck generation.
- Comfort pairing with GTM on what "usage" and "workspace" mean for brands vs. creators.
HOW TO APPLY (REQUIRED FOR THE NEXT INTERVIEW ROUND)
We only advance people who have used the product.
1. Create a free account at (link removed)
2. Use PixaSocial yourself: build an audience or campaign, generate content, try publishing/scheduling, and notice what is strong and what is broken.
3. Email with your resume and a cover letter that is not a CV rewrite explain specifically how you would improve PixaSocial in this role: what you used, what you would change first, and why you are the person to do it.
Applications without a product-based cover letter will not be selected for interview.
Full-time. Mid-level. Pixasocial LLC, Albuquerque, NM.
