Responsibilities
Design and build backend-heavy platform features for our platform
Productionalise AI-enabled capabilities (e.g. anomaly detection, recommendations, agent-based workflows)
Implement AI thoughtfully across the entire SDLC - prototyping, testing, iteration, and deployment
Collaborate closely with Product to turn vision into shipped features
Identify blockers early, communicate clearly, and iterate fast
Help shape engineering standards and patterns as the product matures
You will help define how AI capabilities move from experimentation to durable product features, with an emphasis on reliability, cost efficiency, and clear user value - not just model novelty
Design systems that support model evaluation, prompt/version management, and deterministic fallbacks to ensure AI-driven features are observable, testable, and production-safe
Build AI features with explicit evaluation criteria, feedback loops, and guardrails (accuracy, latency, cost, and explainability) so models improve predictably over time
2+ production-ready features shipped
Tangible progress towards operating as a smart intelligence platform
Clear, repeatable engineering patterns for AI-enabled development
Utilize lightweight but rigorous AI engineering practices (evaluation harnesses, rollout strategies, and rollback mechanisms) that allow the platform to scale AI features safely and repeatedly
Qualification
Required
5+ years professional software engineering experience
Strong backend engineering background (full-stack a plus, not required)
Hands-on experience building on AWS
Strong proficiency in Python (Java/C++ acceptable as secondary languages)
Demonstrated experience using AI in real production systems (not just experimentation - clear, repeatable patterns)
Comfortable working in ambiguity with product-led direction
Ability to architect backend services that support asynchronous workflows, event-driven pipelines, and AI agents that operate over time rather than single request/response cycles
Comfort articulating why certain AI approaches were not used, including trade-offs around latency, explainability, data availability, or long-term maintainability
