  • Architect inference systems including routing, batching, caching, and cost optimization for LLM integrations.
  • Define service architecture standards, API contracts, and data contracts across development teams.
  • Implement AI-augmented backend architectures with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agent-based flows.
  • Champion developer experience by improving CI/CD quality gates, test automation, and observability-first design.

Required Skills

  • 12+ years of backend engineering experience with Node.js/TypeScript, Java/Kotlin, .NET, Python, or Go.
  • Strong expertise in distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures, and consistency models.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred; Azure/GCP acceptable) and infrastructure as code.
  • Proficiency with data and streaming technologies: SQL, NoSQL, Kafka, and Redis.
  • Experience integrating LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI quality metrics within enterprise applications.
  • Deep understanding of system design fundamentals: caching, resilience patterns, fault tolerance, and security.
  • Strong background in operational excellence, including observability, performance tuning, and incident response.

Preferred Skills
