What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems and APIs
• Integrate AI/ML capabilities into applications (LLMs, embeddings, classification, etc.)
• Develop and optimize data pipelines for AI workflows
• Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and context-aware systems
• Evaluate and integrate third-party AI tools and services
• Improve system performance, reliability, and cost efficiency
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ship AI-powered features
• Contribute to architecture decisions and technical direction

• Strong programming experience in one or more languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, Go)
• Experience building and maintaining backend systems and APIs
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure
• Experience working with databases (SQL and/or NoSQL)
• Understanding of software design principles and system architecture
• Familiarity with integrating AI APIs such as OpenAI or Anthropic
• Basic understanding of:
• Prompt engineering
• Embeddings and vector search
• Model limitations and evaluation

Bonus Skills

• Experience building AI-powered applications in production
• Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate)
• Experience with frameworks such as LangChain or LlamaIndex
• Knowledge of machine learning fundamentals (training, fine-tuning, evaluation)
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Exposure to event-driven or streaming architectures
• Frontend experience (React, Next.js) is a plus but not required

How You Work

• Strong problem-solver with attention to detail
• Curious about emerging AI technologies and eager to experiment
• Comfortable working in evolving, fast-paced environments
• Focused on building reliable, production-ready systems
• Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical teammates

Example Projects

• Building APIs that power AI-driven features (chat, summarization, recommendations)
• Implementing a RAG pipeline for internal or customer-facing search
• Creating services that orchestrate LLM workflows or agents
• Optimizing latency and cost of AI inference in production
• Developing tools to evaluate and monitor model performance
