Backend Software Developer

Who We Are

OriginAI — a collaboration between Axon Vision, NVIDIA and Elbit Systems — is a Tel-Aviv-based center tackling AI research at national scale across Vision, Speech and NLP. We're well funded, with direct access to the industry's most advanced computing resources.

Job Description

As part of the Software Development Team, you will be responsible for turning cutting-edge AI capabilities into production-ready deliverables that meet the highest standards of code architecture, efficiency and maintainability. You will design and build the distributed, event-driven backend services that power our platform at scale — and take a central role in building AI agents: the orchestration, tooling and infrastructure that turn our models into autonomous, production-grade capabilities.

Responsibilities

You are a resourceful, imaginative engineer, willing to learn something new every day. You are all about efficiency, clean design and reliability.

Most of your responsibilities are (but not limited to):

• Being part of a Scrum team and participating in all Scrum ceremonies
• Designing and building AI agents — orchestration, tool/function calling, memory and integration of LLMs and other models into reliable production workflows
• Designing and implementing backend services and APIs — from detailed design through to production deployment
• Building and maintaining asynchronous, event-driven pipelines (message queues, workers, object storage)
• Bug fixing, performance improvement and optimization of high-throughput data and inference flows
• POCs and technology benchmarking
• Code documentation, peer design and code reviews
• Tightly collaborating with Product, Research and other engineering teams

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, or a graduate of a military technology unit
• 4–5 years of backend development experience
• High proficiency with Python and modern REST API frameworks (FastAPI, Flask or Django), including asynchronous programming (asyncio)
• Strong experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL / SQLAlchemy) and automated testing (pytest)
• Experience with Docker and microservices architectures
• Experience building AI agents or LLM-powered applications (agent frameworks, tool/function calling, RAG) — strong advantage
