Job Description, Responsibilities & Requirements
About the Position
Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries. We are building an AI-first platform that fuses multiple maritime data sources into a unified operational picture. The system builds a digital twin of global maritime activity, applies behavioral analytics and predictive AI models to surface smuggling, illegal fishing, container risk, and other compliance or security threats, and presents mission-grade intelligence to both commercial and government stakeholders.
You will join an autonomous team formed to pioneer agentic, AI-first workflows within a production-grade maritime intelligence platform. You will own the design, delivery, and operation of backend services that power generative AI agents at scale, influence core architectural decisions, and drive AI-SDLC standards across the organization.
Responsibilities
- Architect and build scalable microservices in Python to support agentic workflows and data pipelines within a distributed system, contributing to frontend development when needed (React).
- Lead integration of generative AI capabilities – LLM APIs, RAG pipelines, and autonomous agents – into production environments.
- Implement operational practices and observability for AI components, including monitors for model drift, hallucination detection, and performance metrics.
- Establish and enforce AI-SDLC practices: code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and continuous trace-based quality evaluations.
- Design and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform, Kubernetes (K8s), and related AWS services.
- Drive improvements in engineering speed and quality through tooling, automation, and architectural enhancements.
- Mentor engineers on emerging AI frameworks, developer tools, and best practices for high-scale agentic development.
- Collaborate with product and research teams to translate user requirements into reliable, secure backend services.
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional backend engineering experience, including at least 2 years building agentic or autonomous AI workflows in production.
- Deep experience with Python.
- Hands-on experience in agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, DeepAgents, CrewAI, OpenClaw, Hermes (or equivalent).
- Proven track record designing scalable, event-driven architectures on AWS, including messaging (SQS/SNS) and SQL/NoSQL databases.
- Strong understanding of GraphQL or REST API design and DevOps practices, including CI/CD, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
- Skilled in implementing production-grade security, monitoring, and incident response for mission-critical systems.
- Excellent communication, autonomy, and accountability in ambiguous, high-velocity environments.
Nice to Have
- Experience with React.js and full-stack development.
- Familiarity with vector databases and similarity search for AI applications.
We Offer
- 20 days of vacation leave per calendar year (plus official national holidays of the country you are based in).
- Full accounting and legal support in all countries we operate.
- Fully remote work model with a powerful workstation and co-working space if needed.
- Highly competitive package with yearly performance and compensation reviews.
