You will design and build scalable, production-grade systems and APIs, with a focus on integrating modern AI capabilities (via APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) into real-world applications.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the successful integration of AI-driven features into our product
• Stay up to date with the latest industry developments in AI integration, cloud architecture, and scalable backend systems

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field
• Several years of professional software development experience with Python
• A generalist mindset with the ability to quickly learn, adapt to new topics, and switch between domains such as infrastructure and backend engineering
• Experience with Docker, building CI/CD pipelines, and version control systems
• Confidence in working with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Familiarity with modern agentic workflow orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph) would be a plus
• Strong problem-solving skills, organizational skills, and a hands-on mentality
