Principal Backend & AI Platform Engineer

We’re hiring: Principal Backend & AI Platform Engineer

We’re looking for a highly experienced, hands-on engineer who enjoys building complex production systems across Backend, Cloud, Data and AI.

This is not a narrow Backend, DevOps or Data role.

We’re looking for someone who can take end-to-end technical ownership — from architecture and backend services, through cloud infrastructure and data flows, to integrating modern AI capabilities into production systems.

What we’re looking for:

• 7+ years of hands-on software, backend or platform engineering experience

• Strong experience with Python and/or Node.js, TypeScript or Java

• Deep understanding of backend architecture, APIs, microservices and distributed systems

• Hands-on cloud experience, preferably AWS

• Experience with Docker, CI/CD and production environments

• Strong understanding of databases, messaging systems and data pipelines

• Practical experience with LLMs, RAG, AI Agents, embeddings, inference services or AI APIs

• Strong production mindset around scalability, reliability, observability and performance

• Ability to own complex systems from architecture through implementation and production

• Hands-on experience with modern AI development and coding tools

Strong advantages:

Kubernetes, Terraform/IaC, FastAPI, Kafka/RabbitMQ, Redis, vector databases, SRE, observability, ML infrastructure, Computer Vision or self-hosted LLMs.

We’re looking for a builder — someone who can move comfortably between software, infrastructure, data and AI, understand the full system, and turn complex technical challenges into reliable production solutions.
