Job description

Job Title: Senior Engineer — Backend & Agentic Systems

Experience: ~5 years overall, minimum 3 years of production-level experience building agents and backend systems

Salary: Competitive, based on experience

About Camarin AI:

Camarin AI is an innovative, early-stage funded startup building cutting-edge technology solutions for fashion e-commerce businesses. We develop AIaaS products — ranging from custom AI recommenders to virtual try-on solutions — designed to improve conversions and engagement while reducing reverse logistics for our clients.

Job Overview:

We are looking for a Senior Engineer with ~5 years of experience (3+ years of production-level experience building agents and backend systems) to join our founding engineering team as a technical lead. This is a high-ownership, high-agency role for someone who wants to build core product infrastructure from the ground up, with deep involvement in both backend engineering and the agentic layer — orchestration, guardrailing, and harness design for multi-agent systems. The role occasionally extends into our own custom intelligence layer, fine-tuning small independent models and exposing them as MCP tools for agent-driven decision‑making.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead backend engineering for core product systems, with a strong emphasis on scalability and reliability in a fast‑paced startup environment.
• Design and build the agentic/orchestration layer — multi‑agent coordination, guardrails, harnesses, and failure recovery.
• Architect systems that expose custom‑built or fine‑tuned models (vision, language, or otherwise) as tools agents can call, reason over, and act on.
• Own system design end‑to‑end, from backend service architecture to how agents are orchestrated, sandboxed, and monitored in production.
• Work across our Postgres and Postgres‑variant database backends, with an eye toward distributed‑systems optimizations as the product scales.
• Deploy and manage cloud infrastructure using AWS, GCP, or Azure.
• Work as a founding member of the engineering team — setting technical standards, making build‑vs‑buy calls, and mentoring as the team scales.
• Collaborate closely with product and founding team members, moving fast and taking direct ownership of product direction.

Key Requirements:

• ~5 years of overall experience, with 3+ years of hands‑on, production‑level experience building agents and/or backend systems.
• Proven experience working in lean teams within fast‑paced startup environments.
• High agency and high ownership — a self‑directed operator comfortable leading as part of a founding engineering team.
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals with genuine system design fluency.
• Equal fluency in agentic system design — understanding of orchestration patterns, guardrailing, and the failure modes of multi‑agent systems.
• Working knowledge of Postgres or Postgres‑variant/Postgres‑like database backends.
• Comfortable working from our office full‑time (no remote or hybrid).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Hands‑on MLOps or applied AI/ML/DL experience (e.g., model serving, fine‑tuning, inference optimization) — valuable, but secondary to orchestration and agentic systems expertise.
• Experience with agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, Google ADK, or similar) and agent‑to‑agent (A2A) communication patterns.
• Experience exposing models or services as callable tools via protocols like MCP.
• Working knowledge of distributed systems, useful for optimizing the database layer as the product scales.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and CI/CD, Docker, and DevOps practices.

Why Join Camarin AI?

• Opportunity to lead core technical decisions on high‑impact, cutting‑edge AI systems.
• Competitive salary and performance‑based incentives.
• Real ownership — shape the product and engineering culture as a founding team member.
• Fast‑paced startup environment with ample growth opportunities.
• Collaboration with industry experts and exposure to modern agentic and ML tech stacks.
