Job Description

We are hiring a Senior Python Backend Engineer to design, build, and operate scalable, API-driven backend systems that power our AI Insights platform.
This role focuses on engineering rigor, scale, reliability and production readiness, with limited direct AI/LLM work. The candidate will integrate AI services built by others rather than designing prompts or models themselves.

Key Focus
Scalable backend architecture + production-grade APIs + operational excellence.

Core Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain highly scalable Python backend services
  • Develop and consume REST APIs used by AI workflows and customer-facing systems
  • Own service reliability: logging, monitoring, retries, error handling, and alerts
  • Integrate AI/LLM services via clean abstraction layers (API-based consumption)
  • Implement cost controls, rate limiting, and safeguards for downstream AI usage
  • Work closely with AI engineers to productionize workflows
  • Participate in on-call / production support as needed

Required Skills

  • Strong Python backend development experience (production systems)
  • Experience building API-based microservices at scale
  • Solid understanding of system design, performance bottlenecks, and scaling
  • Databases: MySQL, Redis
  • Infrastructure: Docker, AWS
  • Queues / async processing: SQS, Celery, or equivalent
  • Observability: logs, metrics, tracing
  • Secure API design (auth, secrets management)
