About the role

The entire software world relies on structured text (defined by formal grammars). So far, the language model community has focused on models that can interact with us (humans). And while the results are impressive and make for cool demos, we're now getting to the exciting part: bringing these models back to the world of software so they can do some serious work for us. The tools we create don’t just converse; they perform.
As a Backend Developer at .txt, you will play a crucial role in developing and maintaining the backbone of our tech infrastructure. You will be immersed in a fast-paced environment where your work directly impacts the efficiency and scalability of our products and services. Your expertise in Python programming will be central to building robust backend systems, solving complex problems, and driving innovation. We are looking for a team player with a passion for coding and a dedication to learning and improvement.
