Senior Software Engineer, AI Platform Services

Role Description

Tealium is seeking a Sr. Software Engineer who will be responsible for designing, building, and evolving backend platform services that power Tealium’s next generation of AI-enabled customer data products and real-time configuration workflows.

As part of the Platform Services team, you will collaborate across Java, Frontend, QA, DevOps, Architecture, and Product to deliver scalable backend capabilities for Tealium’s emerging agentic and AI-assisted experiences, including:

• CloudStream
• Tealium Functions
• The Functions AI Assistant
• The Tealium Agentic API (MCP server)
• Orchestration services for agentic UX

We’re looking for engineers who can think strategically, operate independently, and take ownership of outcomes in a fast-moving environment. There is a strong emphasis on leveraging AI and modern engineering tools to accelerate development, improve problem-solving, and enhance software quality and delivery speed.

Qualifications

• 5–7+ years of professional experience in Java software development.
• Extensive experience deploying software in AWS, with hands-on expertise in cloud-native backend services and infrastructure patterns.
• Strong understanding of modern DevOps principles and practices.
• Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, serverless architectures, and Terraform.
• Experience working with both NoSQL and relational databases, including DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redshift, Redis, Cassandra, and Snowflake.
• Experience with distributed messaging and streaming technologies such as RabbitMQ, Kinesis, and Kafka.
• Strong knowledge of modern software engineering principles, design patterns, and best practices.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI-powered development tools and workflows (e.g., code assistants, agentic IDE tools, LLM-based debugging and generation tools) to improve productivity, system design, and delivery speed.
• Experience designing, building, and supporting high-traffic, highly available systems.
• Proven ability to build reliable, observable, and production-ready services with strong operational ownership.
• Practical experience with AI platform integrations and tooling is a strong plus, particularly Amazon Bedrock and production use of LLM-based APIs and services.
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted engineering workflows and tools, such as Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex, or similar agentic coding tools, is a plus.
• Ability to clearly communicate technical concepts to engineers, architects, product partners, and leadership.
• Strong ability to manage multiple competing priorities and deliver effectively in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment.
• Proven track record of operating with autonomy, accountability, and strong execution focus in ambiguous or evolving technical environments.

Requirements

• Partner closely with software engineers, architects, DevOps, Product Managers, and frontend engineers to design and deliver high-quality backend platform services.
• Design, develop, test, and maintain scalable applications using modern Java frameworks for real-time data processing, configuration workflows, and AI-enabled product capabilities.
• Build backend services that coordinate AI assistants, orchestration flows, and tool-driven workflows in a safe, observable, and governable way.
• Leverage AI-powered development tools and modern engineering workflows to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, and solution design.
• Implement and improve APIs and service layers for profile exploration, configuration, and workflow execution, including support for MCP-based and agent-driven use cases.
• Contribute to backend draft-state, validation, commit, and profile consistency workflows required for complex multi-step configuration changes.
• Actively participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies, contributing to planning, estimation, and continuous improvement.
• Contribute to architectural design discussions, test planning, operational excellence, and guardrail design for AI-facing and customer-facing backend services.
• Participate in peer code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards, reliability expectations, and safe mutation patterns.
• Improve observability, performance, scalability, rate limiting, and production readiness for distributed backend services supporting Functions, MCP, and orchestration workloads.
• Research, evaluate, and recommend new technologies or design approaches to improve performance, scalability, reliability, and developer velocity.
