What You'll Do

• Design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems, APIs, and microservices
• Develop reliable and performant systems that power customer-facing applications and AI-driven workflows
• Own backend features end-to-end - architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and optimization
• Build integrations with AI/LLM pipelines, orchestration systems, and third-party services
• Improve system reliability, observability, scalability, and performance across distributed services
• Collaborate closely with frontend, AI, product, and infrastructure teams to deliver high-quality features
• Design clean API contracts and backend architectures that scale with product growth
• Debug production issues, optimize bottlenecks, and improve system resilience
• Write technical documentation, runbooks, and engineering best practices
• Participate in code reviews and mentor junior engineers where needed
