• Advanced proficiency with Terraform for complex orchestration
• Strong command of Python plus high proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Java, or C++)
• Practical expertise with relational databases: complex SQL, indexing, query optimization, transactions, and schema design
• BS/MS in Computer Science or a related technical field

Nice to have

• Experience with vector databases, embedding pipelines, semantic search, or retrieval-augmented generation systems
• Prior work building LLM-based applications or workflows using agent frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen
• Hands-on experience developing MCP servers or integrating Agent2Agent protocols into production
• Familiarity with agent memory frameworks (Mem0, Graphiti, Letta) or graph databases (Neo4j, Kuzu, FalkorDB)
• Background with in-memory data grids or semantic caching systems such as Redis
• Knowledge of system-versioned tables, temporal SQL, or open-source relational database engines

Benefits and work setup

• Full-time, remote position based in the United States
• Anticipated U.S. base salary range of $141,000–$185,000 annually, with variation based on qualifications and location
