About the Role

We're seeking a senior backend engineer who's hungry for impact and takes extreme ownership. You'll architect and build the core platform that powers our AI-driven enterprise application generation system. This is a senior backend role with platform engineering depth - you'll design scalable systems, build the infrastructure that enables AI agents to work, and own the backend from architecture to production.

In This Role You'll

Architect and build the core platform infrastructure - the foundation that powers our AI-driven enterprise application generation
Own complete features end-to-end - from initial design and architecture through implementation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration based on production feedback
Design, build, and own end-to-end Generative AI services - from first prompt to production rollout including multi-agent workflows - combining RAG, function calling, and tool chaining.

Must have:

5+ years building production-grade backend, with experience building platforms from the ground up
Strong proficiency in Python and modern backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, Django) with platform engineering mindset
Deep cloud experience (AWS preferred) - architecting and deploying production systems at scale
Experience architecting and building scalable backend platforms - you've designed core systems that others build on top of
Tangible experience with LLMs - prompting, fine-tuning, or deploying them behind an API
Track record of extreme ownership - you ship it, you own it; taking systems from concept to production independently
"Can-do" approach - you've solved hard problems and know how to figure things out

Nice to have:

React, TypeScript, and JavaScript skills for frontend contribution
