Responsibilities
Design and implement scalable backend services, data pipelines, and APIs
Build infrastructure for high-throughput, low-latency AI/ML workflows
Set up and manage databases (SQL/NoSQL), including schema design, replication, indexing, and performance optimization
Optimize for performance, reliability, and security at every layer
Implement observability best practices (logging, tracing, monitoring, performance tuning)
Work closely with research and infra teams to support experimental velocity
Contribute to core engineering culture, including code reviews and mentorship
Requirements
3+ years building distributed systems or high-availability backends (preferably in fast-moving or high-stakes environments)
Strong proficiency in Python and at least one systems language (e.g., Go, Rust, C++)
Experience with cloud platforms, containerization, and orchestration (AWS/GCP/Azure, Docker, Kubernetes)
Database setup, management, and optimization experience (SQL/NoSQL)
Relentless focus on code quality, correctness, and performance
Comfortable leveraging modern AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to increase productivity & code output while maintaining high code quality, maintainability, and structure
Bonus – Agentic workflows / applied AI integration
Experience supporting or integrating agentic AI workflows into backend systems (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, Haystack, or custom frameworks)
Familiarity with persistence/checkpointing, streaming pipelines, and vector/knowledge store integrations
