Job summary

ClearRoute, an engineering consultancy, is seeking a backend engineer to design and build the scalable service and API layer that powers an AI-driven code modernisation platform. You will develop agentic workflows with deep static analysis to transform legacy systems at scale.

You'll own microservices and RESTful APIs, shape orchestration strategies, and work in a containerised environment with Kubernetes and Docker, collaborating across disciplines to deliver robust, observable backend systems.

Qualifications

• Strong Python engineering skills with production-grade code.
• Experience designing and building microservices and RESTful APIs.
• Understanding of distributed, event-driven, or asynchronous systems.
• Genuine interest in GenAI and agentic systems with hands-on delivery.
• Experience with LLMs and agentic frameworks such as LangGraph or CrewAI.
• Experience with MCP or similar tool-serving patterns.
• Experience with Git workflows and GitHub/GitLab APIs.
• Understanding how agents consume external tools and services.
• Exposure to frontend frameworks (React/Vue) for agent interfaces.
• Experience in container-native environments (Kubernetes, Docker).

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable Python microservices and APIs that power and orchestrate agentic workflows in production
• Build and integrate MCP servers and tools, enabling agents to reliably discover, call, and chain external capabilities
• Own the full lifecycle of backend services supporting AI agents, ensuring they're robust, observable, well-tested, and production-ready at scale
• Actively shape agentic architecture decisions, from tool-calling patterns and orchestration strategies to state management and multi-agent coordination
