• Design backend and full-stack solutions leveraging Python, C#, React, TypeScript, FastAPI, LangChain, and Semantic Kernel.
• Define cloud-native deployment architectures utilizing containers, microservices, REST APIs, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
• Apply security-by-design principles, identity and access management, and secure networking practices to safeguard enterprise workloads.
• Evaluate architectural trade-offs to optimize cloud infrastructure, AI inference workloads, application performance, and operational costs.
• Establish architectural standards, evaluate emerging AI technologies, and mentor cross-functional engineering teams through technical decisions.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, data scientists, and cross-functional stakeholders in an international remote environment.

Requirements

• Strong software engineering background with proven experience building full-stack and backend systems in C#, Python, and React with TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience designing and implementing cloud-native solutions on Microsoft Azure, including AKS, Azure Networking, and Azure AI Foundry.
• Practical experience working with AI application frameworks such as LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or comparable tools.
• Solid architectural understanding of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agent design, and workflow orchestration.
• Strong knowledge of REST APIs, microservices architectures, containerization, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Proven ability to design secure, scalable, maintainable, and high-performance distributed systems.
• Advanced analytical, problem-solving, and architectural decision-making skills.
• Fluent English is mandatory (C1 level), with the ability to lead technical discussions, collaborate with international stakeholders, and produce clear architectural documentation.
• Must be based in Latin America.
