Excited to see PencilTech (YC W22) is hiring a Backend Engineer! I know they're doing great things in the machine learning space.

That sounds amazing. I saw on their job posting they're looking for 3+ years of backend engineering experience. I'm a bit worried that I may not qualify.

Don't worry about it too much, The number of years of experience is just a rough guideline. I would still encourage you to apply if you're interested!

Does anyone have any info about their tech stack? I'd be curious to know what they use for their backend.

From what I understand, they mainly use Python and a combination of Flask and Django. They also use PostgreSQL for their database.

I wish I could apply, but I'm based in Europe and it seems they're only looking for someone local in the Bay Area.

Does anyone have any experience working remotely at PencilTech? I'm a big fan of remote work and would love to hear more about it.
