About the Role
We are looking for a Backend Engineer, Cloud & AI Integration, to build and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations that support AI product and internal tools.
This role will focus on Python-based backend services, REST APIs, data models, third-party integrations, and cloud-native workflows on AWS. The engineer will work closely with Full Stack Engineers to provide reliable backend services that can support scalable product development.
This is a mid-level backend engineering role suited for someone with strong hands-on experience in backend development, cloud services, APIs, and production systems. AI and Human-in-the-Loop workflows will be taught as part of the role, so prior AI or ML experience is not mandatory.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain backend services and REST APIs using Python.
- Build and manage integrations with third-party platforms and internal systems.
- Support AI-powered features and Human-in-the-Loop workflows where AI output is reviewed by a person before the next step.
- Design reliable data models, backend workflows, and business logic.
- Build serverless and cloud-native backend applications on AWS.
- Troubleshoot and resolve production issues across backend services.
- Collaborate with Full Stack Engineers to deliver end-to-end product features.
- Own the backend development scope for assigned features and integrations.
- Contribute to code reviews, testing, documentation, and release activities.
- Ensure backend services are reliable, scalable, well-tested, and maintainable
Looking For
- 5+ years of total experience with 3+ years of experience in backend application development and production support.
