About the role
ABOUT THE ROLE
Join a product engineering team building a business-focused AI platform. You will shape the platform foundations that make AI integrations reliable, performant, and straightforward to operate in production.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Build and integrate AI product capabilities that process data from external sources and multiple systems in real time.
- Route streaming responses and language model requests across providers, including fallback and cost-management logic.
- Monitor latency, costs, and error rates, then act proactively to prevent reliability or performance issues.
- Make architectural decisions that improve system quality while keeping solutions simple and maintainable.
- Instrument services, investigate production issues, and implement fixes that address root causes.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- At least 3 years of backend engineering experience, including production TypeScript application development.
- Production experience with Docker and Kubernetes, alongside hands-on application coding.
- Strong system design skills and the ability to reason about performance, latency, and cost trade-offs.
- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL, APIs, queues, and caching.
- Experience improving platform reliability and performance under production load, including observability, instrumentation, and root-cause analysis.
- Experience with streaming responses or routing language model requests across providers, including fallback and cost logic.
- CI/CD, safe deployment practices, secure permissions, and structured incident follow-up are valuable; comfort contributing to frontend code is also helpful.
