Role: Senior Backend & AI Engineer (On-Site, FastAPI

Focus)

Location: On-Site (Full-Time)

Experience: 6–12+ years

Role Summary

We are hiring a senior engineer to own backend and AI systems end-to-end, with a strong focus on FastAPI-based architectures and production AI systems.

This role is about building real-time systems that work reliably in production — not prototypes.

Core Responsibilities

- Design and build high-performance backend systems

using FastAPI
- Develop and deploy AI-powered services (LLMs,

embeddings, inference pipelines)
- Build real-time systems (low latency APIs, streaming,

async processing)
- Own full lifecycle:

◦ Architecture → Development → Deployment →

Monitoring → Scaling

•
- Optimize systems for:

◦ Latency ◦ Throughput

◦ Cost

•

- Build and maintain robust production infrastructure
- Handle failures, debug production issues, and ensure

system stability Must-Have Skills
- Strong backend development using Python (FastAPI is

mandatory)
- Deep understanding of:

◦ Async programming ◦ Distributed systems

◦ Event-driven architectures

•

- Hands-on experience with:

◦ AI/ML systems in production (LLMs, vector search, inference APIs) ◦ Model integration & optimization

•

- Experience building real-time systems (sub-second

response systems)
- Strong database experience:

◦ PostgreSQL / NoSQL ◦ Vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, etc.)

•

- Messaging & caching:





◦ Kafka / Redis / queues •
- Cloud & infra:

◦ AWS / GCP / Azure ◦ Docker, Kubernetes

•

- CI/CD and deployment pipelines

Good to Have (Plus, Not Mandatory)
- Node.js or other backend frameworks

- Experience with

◦ WebSockets / real-time communication ◦ Speech / video / streaming systems

◦ GPU optimization / model serving infra

- Frontend awareness (not required, but helpful)

What “No Excuses” Means
- You own the system — not just your code
- You don’t pass problems — you solve them
- You design for failure, not just success
- You ship systems that actually work under load

Non-Negotiables
- On-site presence

- Robust ownership mindset
- Ability to work in ambiguity and move fast
- Proven experience in production systems (not just

demos)

Why This Role Matters

We are building real-time AI-driven systems where latency,

reliability, and correctness matter.

We need engineers who can design, build, and run these systems without excuses.

Compensation

- Competitive salary + performance incentives
- Based on experience and demonstrated impact

Final Note If you’ve only built APIs — this is not enough.

If you’ve built systems that run, scale, break, and recover in production — we want to talk.
