- 3+ years in backend development with strong PostgreSQL experience
- Solid grounding in cloud platforms: AWS/GCP/Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes
- Strong security awareness: authentication, authorization, and encryption best practices
- Familiarity with API frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, Django)
- Excellent collaboration and code review habits with a strong team mindset
Nice-to-Have
- Hands-on experience with AI-centric pipelines, vector stores, and agent orchestration (RAG, LangChain, etc.)
- Experience with cloud infrastructure tools: Terraform, Helm, GitOps
- Background in production-grade security architectures (RBAC, IAM policies)
- A product mindset and experience shipping end-to-end features
- Comfort with ambiguity and rapid iteration in a startup environment
This role offers the opportunity to shape both our technical architecture and product direction while working on cutting-edge AI infrastructure challenges.
