Job summary

Trump Media & Technology Group is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer for the AI Platform to design and own the core AI infrastructure for a high-traffic, privacy-conscious platform serving millions of users.

You will work with the platform architect and engineers to stand up greenfield AI systems, integrating LLM services across providers and shaping engineering practices as the team expands. Remote in the US.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of backend engineering experience in a statically typed language (Go, Java, Kotlin, C#).
• Shipped production LLM-backed features — retrieval-augmented generation, streaming responses, tool use.
• Hands-on experience with the LLM serving stack: routing across multiple model providers, failover, token streaming, and cost/usage metering.
• Experience building retrieval systems: vector search, embedding pipelines, context assembly, and citation-backed answers.
• You think in failure modes: hallucination, retrieval misses, provider outages, cost blowouts — and you build the instrumentation to catch them.
• Pragmatic about evaluation — you know how to measure whether AI answers are actually good (relevance, safety, source quality) with simple, repeatable tests, not just academic benchmarks.
• Strong API design instincts; comfortable owning a service end to end, from schema to deploy to on-call.
• US-based and authorized to work in the United States.
