Role overview
This engineer will build and extend the Python services behind AI features - endpoints, data access, ingestion and retrieval jobs, and the integration points to foundation model APIs - and will also implement the front-end surfaces for a new AI Playground that ACD engineering will develop for rapid prototyping and experimentation, before implementing it in customer-facing UI. The work is majority backend; the front-end capability matters because it means features get delivered whole rather than handed across a seam.
This is a delivery role on a small team, working to patterns set by the AI Engineering Lead and senior backend engineer rather than defining architecture. The expectation is steady, tested, production-ready output with growing independence over the engagement.
Key responsibilities:
- Build and maintain Python API endpoints and service logic (FastAPI or equivalent) backing AI features, following established patterns for request validation, streaming responses, timeouts, retries, and structured error handling.
- Implement the front-end features in Angular or React - streaming and incremental response rendering, loading and partial-failure states, and responsive layouts for the AI Playground and customer-facing UI.
- Write and maintain SQL against relational stores, Python against other NoSQL or object data stores.
- Write automated tests as a normal part of delivery: unit and API tests on the back end, fixture-based tests for model-dependent paths, and contributions to regression suites running in CI.
- Add logging, metrics, and tracing to the services and jobs owned so failures and performance regressions are visible without a customer report.
- Fix defects on owned features through to root cause, including issues surfaced in production.
- Collaborate with the AI Engineering Lead, Senior Backend Engineer, Product, and UX in a distributed team, using written updates and asynchronous communication as the default.
Required skills and qualifications:
- 5+ years of professional software development experience delivering production backend services and web application user interfaces.
- Strong Python for production backend work: REST API development, async basics, testing, and debugging in a real codebase - not scripting or notebook-only experience.
- Hands-on experience with FastAPI, Flask, Django, or an equivalent Python API framework.
- Working proficiency in a modern front-end framework - Angular or React - sufficient to build and modify feature-level UI independently. Angular is preferred, as it is used in ACD’s existing platform.
- Comfort with TypeScript/JavaScript and browser fundamentals including async behavior and debugging.
- Solid SQL and relational data modeling: joins, indexing basics, schema changes, and migrations.
- Experience with Git-based workflows, code review, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong written English and the ability to work effectively with a US-based team.
Must have skills:
- Strong Python backend development with REST APIs and FastAPI/Flask/Django.
- Hands-on Angular or React with JavaScript/TypeScript.
- Strong SQL, relational databases, data modeling, and API integration.
- Experience with Git, CI/CD, automated testing, debugging, and production support.
Desired attributes:
- Exposure to AI/LLM features, model APIs, RAG/retrieval, or streaming interfaces.
- Knowledge of Azure, Docker, and cloud deployment.
- Experience with background jobs/queues such as Celery.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, ownership, and ability to work with distributed/US-based teams.
Good to have skills:
- Exposure to AI or LLM-backed features - calling model APIs, prompt handling, retrieval-backed search, or streaming and conversational interfaces.
- Vector databases or embedding-based retrieval.
- Azure cloud services, Docker, or exposure to cloud deployment workflows.
- Background job and queue processing (Celery, or equivalent).
- C# and .NET familiarity, which are core to ACD’s existing product platform.
- Accessibility (WCAG) and front-end performance work.
- Fluency with AI-assisted development tooling in day-to-day work.
