Company overview
Cornerstone OnDemand builds intelligent products that help organizations learn and perform at scale. We value ownership, clarity, and pragmatic engineering—shipping reliable systems that blend up-to-date AI with solid backend discipline. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering and applied AI.

The Role
We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to design and deliver backend services that power retrieval-augmented workflows, semantic search, and LLM-backed features. You will work across APIs (REST and GraphQL), data stores, and cloud-native infrastructure—partnering with product and ML stakeholders to bring AI capabilities safely into production.

In This Role You Will
- Design, build, and operate scalable Java/Spring Boot microservices and shared platform components.
- Own GraphQL schema evolution, resolvers, and performance (N+1 avoidance, batching, caching).
- Integrate LLMs, embeddings,



and vector search into production paths with clear observability and fallbacks.
- Apply strong data structures and algorithms judgment to performance-sensitive paths (indexing, ranking, batching, and cost-aware service design).
- Collaborate on data modeling and API contracts across SQL, NoSQL, and vector stores.
- Champion security (OAuth2, JWT, API hardening) and reliability in distributed, event-driven systems.
- Improve CI/CD, automated testing, and deployment practices for safe, frequent releases.

You Have Got What it Takes If You Have
- 3y–6y years of experience in backend or platform engineering with solid expertise in Java.
- Hands-on experience with Spring Boot, microservices architecture, REST & GraphQL APIs.
- Strong experience in GraphQL schema design, resolvers, and query optimization (N+1, batching, caching).
- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, OOP, and distributed system design.
- Experience work
