Senior Backend AI Engineer

Sr. Backend AI Engineer Location: Cleveland, OH Role Overview Move beyond traditional ETL. At BrightEdge, we are rebuilding our core data infrastructure into an AI-augmented processing engine . We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to architect "intelligent" systems that don’t just move data, but understand it. You will build self-healing pipelines and agentic workflows that allow our platform to autonomously adapt to complex, shifting data landscapes. What You’ll Do Architect Agentic Pipelines: Build Python-based backend systems that utilize LLMs and AI agents to automate the discovery, parsing, and mapping of unstructured data. Build Self‑Healing Infrastructure: Develop autonomous reliability layers that diagnose upstream failures, adapt to API schema changes, and perform real‑time data validation without manual intervention. Optimize High‑Velocity Analytics: Design and manage low‑latency data flows into ClickHouse and BigQuery , ensuring our AI‑driven insights are backed by high‑performance OLAP architecture. Scale Intelligent Connectors: Create robust integrations (APIs, Streaming, S3) that leverage AI to handle diverse, non‑standardized data sources at massive scale. Engineering Leadership: Drive best practices in AI‑assisted testing and observability, mentoring the team on the intersection of traditional backend stability and modern AI capabilities. What You Bring 5+ years experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering. Python & AI Mastery: Deep expertise in production‑level Python. You’ve successfully integrated AI models/LLMs into backend services or data workflows. OLAP Power User: Proven experience with ClickHouse , BigQuery , or Snowflake , specifically in schema optimization and materialized views for large‑scale datasets. Distributed Systems Expertise: Strong background in cloud environments (GCP/AWS) and real‑time streaming tools like Kafka , Flink , or Spark . Adaptive Mindset: You don’t just build to a spec; you build systems that anticipate and recover from environment changes autonomously. Product Ownership: A track record of leading high‑impact initiatives and a desire to own the "brain" of a global data platform. #J-18808-Ljbffr BrightEdge
