• Build reliable systems with observability, resiliency, fault tolerance, and operational excellence in mind.
• Partner with software engineers, platform teams, product partners, and security stakeholders to deliver impactful solutions.
• Research, prototype, and apply emerging AI technologies to solve real-world business and engineering challenges.
• Mentor engineers, influence technical direction, and help elevate engineering best practices across the organization.

What You’ll Need:

• 7+ years of software engineering experience designing, building, and supporting production systems.
• Strong Python development skills and experience building backend APIs and services using FastAPI or similar frameworks.
• Experience with PostgreSQL, data modeling, ORM frameworks, and scalable data processing systems.
• Proven ability to design distributed, service-oriented architectures, including workflow orchestration, asynchronous processing, and resilient application design.

Cloud & Platform Engineering

• Experience building and operating applications in AWS, including services such as EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, RDS, S3, IAM, and CloudWatch.
• Experience with Docker, containerized application delivery, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Knowledge of automated testing, deployment strategies, infrastructure-as-code, and modern DevOps practices.
• Experience implementing observability, reliability, and operational best practices for production systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience developing AI-powered applications, workflow automation platforms, or intelligent decision-support systems.
