Job description

A hands-on backend engineering role: own backend capability in Manila, build with AI, and help ship enterprise AI products fast. Makati-based, global team.

WHO WE ARE

Enterprise AI is a Sydney startup helping organisations put AI to work — properly.

We're a small, sharp team across Sydney, Manila and New York, and we build the way we tell our clients to: AI agents do a large share of the engineering work, and humans direct, review and ship.

THE ROLE

We're looking for an experienced Backend Engineer to join our Manila team and become a strong backend go-to locally.

Our stack has grown quickly, so we need someone who can work independently, understand a complex environment fast, and contribute across backend development, cloud infrastructure and AI-enabled products.

This is an AI-native engineering environment. We care less about manually writing every line of code and more about strong planning, technical judgement, review and production quality.

YOU WILL
  • Build and maintain backend services using Python, FastAPI/Flask and TypeScript/Node
  • Design and work with APIs, databases and microservices
  • Work across Azure services including containers, storage, configuration and APIs
  • Build and support AI-enabled backend services using LLMs, RAG and OpenAI technologies
  • Deploy and operate software in production
  • Work with CI/CD, DevOps and data management
  • Review AI-generated code and make sure what we ship is secure, reliable and maintainable
  • Work closely with engineers across Manila and Sydney
  • Get across our architecture quickly and become a trusted backend point of contact for the Manila team
YOU
  • 3+ years in software engineering
  • Experience with FastAPI and/or Flask
  • Strong SQL and/or NoSQL fundamentals
  • Comfortable with GitHub and CI/CD
  • Experience with RAG, LLMs, OpenAI or similar AI technologies
  • Comfortable using AI coding tools and reviewing AI-generated work
  • Learn quickly and enjoy working in a fast-moving startup environment
NICE TO HAVE
  • AI orchestration and prompt engineering
  • PayloadCMS
  • RBAC / OPA
  • React / Next.js
  • Claude Code, Codex or similar AI development tools
  • DevOps / AIOps
  • Identity, infrastructure and security knowledge
WORKING WITH US

This role is based in Manila, with 2 days per week working from our Makati office.

You'll work closely with our Sydney engineering team while becoming an important part of the backend capability in Manila.

WHAT WE OFFER
  • Base salary 100-120k
  • ESOP bonus — giving you a stake in the company you’re helping to build
  • Hands-on experience working in an AI-native engineering team
  • The opportunity to grow quickly across backend, cloud and AI engineering
  • Real production work and increasing ownership as you develop
