Tech Lead – Backend & AI Infrastructure

What You’ll Do

● Lead Engineering Excellence: Own the backend and infrastructure stack across services, pipelines, and AI components.

● Develop and Deploy: Design and implement features using TypeScript (NestJS), Python, and Java across microservices running on AWS and Azure,

orchestrated via Kubernetes.

● Engineer Data Systems: Build scalable, production-grade pipelines. Experience with Prefect is a strong plus.

● Innovate with AI: Design and build autonomous agents, RAG pipelines, and backend systems that interact with LLMs at scale. You’ll work with

(and sometimes create) prompting frameworks, implement Model Context Protocols (MCP), and develop AI-native logic that operates in real production

environments.

● Own the Delivery: Deliver end-to-end features with full ownership, including testing, deployment, and observability.

● Build for Scale: Solve real-world problems in logistics with engineering that adapts to complex business demands.
