Backend Engineering and Architecture
• Design and implement low-latency, high-availability, and performant backend services and APIs that
power AI-enabled products.
• Be the architect for your module; own the design, scalability, and reliability of backend systems end to
end.
• Write reusable, testable, and efficient code; enforce engineering best practices across the team.
• Integrate user-facing elements developed by front-end developers with robust server-side logic and
AI-powered workflows.
• Implement security, data protection, and compliance standards across all backend services.
• Integrate multiple data sources, databases, and third-party systems into unified, scalable backend
architectures.
AI-Native Development
• Build, maintain, and optimise AI-native backend applications leveraging Large Language Models
(LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents, orchestration frameworks, and modern AI
platforms.
• Design and implement robust data pipelines, vector databases, embedding strategies, knowledge
retrieval systems, and model evaluation frameworks.




• Develop scalable backend workflows and integrations that automate business processes and deliver
measurable AI-driven value.
• Implement observability, monitoring, prompt management, testing pipelines, and guardrails to ensure
AI system quality, reliability, and compliance.
• Optimise AI application performance, latency, scalability, and cost efficiency across cloud
environments.
• Evaluate, experiment with, and integrate new AI models, tools, and frameworks to continuously
enhance product capabilities.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of experience in backend software engineering, with a robust focus on microservices design
and implementation.
• Hands-on experience building AI/ML or generative AI applications using technologies such as OpenAI,
Anthropic, Gemini, Azure AI, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar frameworks.
• Strong proficiency in Python (mandatory); familiarity with TypeScript, J
