At blissio.ai, we’re on a mission to help people reclaim their time and attention in an increasingly digital world. Our AI-powered mobile application empowers users to achieve a more mindful and balanced relationship with their devices through personalized digital wellness solutions.

We’re seeking a sharp, decisive Backend Developer with an owner mentality who thinks like a founder. This isn’t just a coding role; it’s for someone who sees the big picture, makes quick decisions, and drives results using AI-assisted development as their competitive advantage. We need someone who treats blissio.ai as their own venture, proactively identifies opportunities, solves problems before they’re problems, and leverages AI tools to build and scale our platform with the urgency and vision of a founder.

Key Responsibilities
• Own the backend architecture and development roadmap with the decisiveness of a founder
• Rapidly prototype, iterate, and deploy features using AI tools (Cursor AI, Claude, ChatGPT) as your accelerators
• Make sharp, decisive technical decisions that balance speed, quality, and scalability
• Identify opportunities for innovation and drive them forward without being asked
• Proactively anticipate potential system bottlenecks and address them before they impact users
• Take complete ownership of projects from conception to delivery, treating each as if your name is on the door
• Challenge conventional approaches when necessary and champion better solutions
• Collaborate with team members while maintaining the autonomous drive of a founder
• Continually optimize development workflows to maximize output while minimizing wasteful processes
 

Qualifications
• 3+ years of experience in backend development with a proven track record of ownership and initiative
• Demonstrable expertise using AI coding assistants (Cursor AI, Claude, ChatGPT) to accelerate development velocity
• Sharp technical intuition and ability to make quick, high-quality decisions under pressure
• Strong understanding of backend technologies and frameworks (Node.js, Python/Django/Flask, or similar)
• Experience with database design and management (SQL and NoSQL)
• Knowledge of cloud infrastructure services (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
• Ability to quickly grasp business objectives and translate them into technical solutions
• History of taking full ownership of projects or features and driving them to completion
• Exceptional problem-solving skills with a bias toward action rather than analysis paralysis
• Founder-like mentality that balances short-term execution with long-term vision

Preferred Skills
• Experience with digital wellness applications or similar consumer-facing mobile apps
• Knowledge of AI/ML concepts and integration points
• Experience with real-time communication protocols (WebSockets, Socket.io)
• Background in application monitoring and observability
• Understanding of user privacy concerns and related regulations (GDPR, CCPA)

What We Offer
• Significant equity position for someone who thinks and acts like an owner
• Autonomy to make impactful decisions without bureaucratic roadblocks
• Direct collaboration with founders and leadership team
• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits
• Remote-first environment with focus on results, not hours worked
• Budget for cutting-edge AI tools and resources that maximize your effectiveness
• Opportunity to shape company culture and technical direction

Our Development Philosophy
At blissio.ai, we operate with founder-level urgency and ownership. We embrace AI-assisted development not just as a tool but as a strategic advantage that separates fast-moving innovators from the rest. We’re building a team of sharp, decisive individuals who leverage AI to accomplish in hours what would take others days. We don’t value effort—we value results. We’re not looking for developers who wait for instructions, but for co-builders who see opportunities, make decisions quickly, and drive initiatives forward with the same passion as if they started the company themselves.
