About the Role
We’re seeking a senior backend engineer with deep AI/ML expertise who’s hungry for impact and
takes extreme ownership. You’ll architect and build the core platform that powers our AI-driven
enterprise application generation system. This is a senior backend role with platform engineering
depth – you’ll design scalable systems, build the infrastructure that enables AI agents to work, and
own the backend from architecture to production.
In This Role You’ll
● Architect and build the core platform infrastructure – the foundation that powers our AI-driven enterprise application generation
● Design, build, and own end-to-end Generative AI services – from first prompt to production rollout including multi-agent workflows – combining RAG, function calling, and tool chaining.
● Build and scale Python backend services and AI/ML pipelines with the ability to handle platform-level complexity and scale
● Deploy and maintain solutions on AWS cloud infrastructure – contribute to CI/CD, deployment automation, and DevOps tooling

● Deep cloud experience (AWS preferred) – architecting and deploying production systems at scale
● Experience architecting and building scalable backend platforms – you’ve designed core systems that others build on top of
● Tangible experience with LLMs – prompting, fine-tuning, or deploying them behind an API (show us what you’ve shipped)
● Data-oriented personality analytical mind, and problem-solving aptitude
● Track record of extreme ownership – you ship it, you own it; taking systems from concept to production independently
● “Can-do” approach – you’ve solved hard problems and know how to figure things out
