This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong problem-solving, system design, and the ability to operate in fast-evolving AI environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and maintain backend services and internal tools in Python for AI-powered applications.
- Integrate LLM APIs into production workflows, including prompt handling, response processing, validation, and retries.
- Design and implement scalable REST APIs, async workflows, and background job systems.
- Maintain and enhance components of a multi-language codebase (C#/C++, Python, web technologies) where applicable.
- Work with structured and unstructured data to prepare inputs, transform outputs, and support downstream systems.
- Develop systems for prompt management, model routing, response validation, and failure handling.
- Debug complex issues across backend logic, API integrations, and distributed services.
- Monitor system performance using telemetry tools and proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks.
- Automate recurring workflows related to data processing, evaluation, and reporting.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn ambiguous product ideas into production-ready features.
- Contribute to architecture decisions around scalability, performance, and safe use of AI systems.
- Write clean, testable, and maintainable code while helping establish engineering best practices for AI systems.
