Design and build backend services using Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL to support real-time AI interactions and large-scale data flows, with direct contribution to AI-powered capabilities such as agentic workflows, LLM orchestration, and content pipelines.
Productionize AI Capabilities: Integrate with modern LLM providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) and implement reliable orchestration, routing, error handling, guardrails, telemetry, and deep observability for performance and reliability. Strengthen CI/CD pipelines and DevOps automation to support fast, stable, cloud‑native development workflows.
Use AI as a force multiplier: Apply AI coding and testing tooling to your own work, and help build AI capabilities into the product itself. Translate business requirements into solutions that use AI where it is the right answer, and do not where it is not.
Diagnose and fix: Read unfamiliar code, run root cause analysis, troubleshoot production behavior, and act on issues raised by automated code quality inspection.
Raise the quality bar: Contribute to automated testing strategy and to continuous integration and delivery pipelines, treating test coverage as part of a feature rather than as a follow-up.
Collaborate across functions: Participate actively in design discussions, agile ceremonies and cross-team work with Product, design and Labs teams
Help others as you grow: Share what you learn, support colleagues on problems you have already solved, and contribute to a team culture where learning out loud is normal.
Required Qualifications
Technical Experience; 1-3+ years of professional software development experience.
Backend & Cloud Skills: Working knowledge of Python, and experience in AWS, Azure or GCP Cloud services. Solid understanding of RESTful API design, distributed systems and microservices architecture. Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases.
Technical Judgment: Excellent debugging skills and a proven ability to deliver production-ready, highly reliable systems.
Collaboration & Communication: Comfortable operating in fast-paced, iterative environments, with strong cross-functional communication skills.
Evidence that you learn fast. Be ready to point to something specific you taught yourself and then shipped, and to explain how you went about it.
Preferred Qualifications
BA or BS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
Experience with performance optimization for backend systems, including monitoring, profiling, and tuning for scale
Hands-on experience building AI-powered product features, ideally agentic AI workflows including multi-step reasoning. Using tool/API orchestrations, LLM APIs, RAG pipelines, Claude Agent SDK / AgentCore at runtime
Experience with Agentic UI - SSE/AG-UI streaming semantics, TypeScript/React
Experience with Datadog (logs/RUM/traces), CloudWatch Log Insights, and Braintrust
Familiarity with AI/ML infrastructure including vector databases, model serving, and cost/latency optimization for LLM-powered features
Experience testing, automation, and operational robustness
Prior experience working on products for legal, compliance, or other regulated professional domains.
