What you will do

• Design, develop, and maintain distributed backend services and APIs with a focus on reliability, scalability, and performance.
• Translate functional and nonfunctional requirements into robust low level designs, including API specifications, data models, and integration patterns.
• Implement clean, well tested code using modern engineering practices, perform code reviews for peers, and drive continual improvements to code quality, observability, and operational readiness.
• Own the full service lifecycle for the components you build, including deployment, monitoring, incident response, and iterative improvements based on production telemetry and data.
• Collaborate with product, architecture, and cross functional engineering teams to deliver solutions that are secure, compliant, and reusable across multiple domains and platforms.
• Safely integrate and operate AI/ML enabled solutions that improve outcomes, including applying AI driven systems, tools, or workflows in your development process and services.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field; or Equivalent related professional experience.
• 5+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Professional software engineering experience designing, building, and operating backend or full stack services, typically including several years working with distributed systems or service-oriented architectures.
• Proven ownership of one or more services or components in production, including responsibility for design, implementation, quality, and ongoing operations.
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language, strong understanding of data structures and algorithms, and experience with API design, low level system design, and data modeling.
• Familiarity with AI driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real world products.

Nice to have

• Experience designing and evolving large scale, high throughput services and data models that support multiple products or domains while maintaining performance and reliability.
• Demonstrated strength in system design (including low level designs), API contract definition, and schema design, with a track record of guiding others toward robust architectural patterns.
• Track record of driving operational excellence for owned services, including deep use of logging, metrics, and alerting, and leading incident response, root cause analysis, and follow through on remediation.
• Experience integrating and safely operating AI/ML enabled features or tooling in production services (for example, using model driven recommendations, intelligent routing, or AI assisted development workflows ) , including strong proficiency using AI tools as part of everyday software engineering, with sound judgment about when human ‑ only review is required.
• Experience defining, applying, or influencing AI governance practices to ensure responsible, secure, and compliant use of AI systems, including considerations around data privacy, model behavior, auditability, and operational risk.
