  • Shape architecture decisions and engineering standards inside the pod
  • Partner with frontend engineers, data engineers, and infrastructure teams
  • Take ownership of API contracts and service reliability, ensuring graceful failure of AI edge cases
  • Deliver dependable, reusable orchestration frameworks and logic intended for downstream developer use

Requirements

  • 3+ years in backend engineering with a focus on microservices and distributed systems
  • 2+ years of Python proficiency applied to high-performance backend services and cloud-native APIs
  • Expertise in AWS, Docker, and ECS/EKS
  • Background in RESTful API development
  • Knowledge of secure coding practices together with solid auth/authz fundamentals
  • Upper-Intermediate English language proficiency (B2)

Nice to Have

  • 1–2+ years of practical production usage of AI SDKs including OpenAI, Anthropic/Claude, or AWS Bedrock
  • Familiarity with vector stores (Amazon Kendra, OpenSearch) alongside embedding strategies and retrieval systems
  • Direct experience working with agentic frameworks like LlamaIndex
  • Skills in AI evaluation tooling or real-time APM platforms (LangSmith, Langfuse, Arize)
  • 1–2+ years applying React and TypeScript, together with large-scale EKS deployments
  • Understanding of agent interoperability patterns (MCP), identity/security spaces (IAM, CIAM), plus additional languages like Java, Node.js, or Go

We Offer

  • Remote work options in Argentina and other locations
  • Opportunity to work with cutting-edge AI technologies
  • Collaborative and innovative team environment
