We are seeking a Senior Web Services Engineer to join on a contract basis, working remotely with a globally distributed team.

• Build and integrate Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) and AI/ML capabilities (semantic search, RAG, vector embeddings, prompt engineering).
• Drive end-to-end project delivery – from scoping requirements to hands-on development in Python, Node.js, Go (with some PHP).
• Troubleshoot third-party integrations, resolve performance bottlenecks, and develop automated tests.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across multiple time zones, translating complex business requirements into clear, actionable solutions.

• 5+ years’ backend API development experience with Python/Django, Node.js/NestJS, or Golang/Gin.
• Proven experience building APIs for enterprise-grade apps with complex integrations.
• Strong skills in system design and SQL data modeling for high-traffic applications (10k+ daily users).
• Hands-on experience with LLM/AI features (semantic search, vector DBs, RAG, prompt engineering).
• Comfortable working in fast-paced, agile environments and collaborating with global teams.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.
