About the Position

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Staff Software Developer for a full-time remote position (40 hours per week). Our client is a developer of a social media management platform.

You'll be the senior technical builder behind the client's Analytics MCP platform, owning deep technical work across the AI analytics platform's most complex surfaces, including routing, agent, and orchestration infrastructure, and data warehouse integration, and serving as the principal technical anchor for the AI infrastructure that the rest of Data Analytics & AI builds on.

Role split: ~40% technical and 60% leadership & mentoring.

Responsibilities

• Own the most complex technical surfaces of the Analytics MCP platform, including routing infrastructure, orchestration, agent infrastructure, and data warehouse integration.
• Lead implementation of platform architecture decisions, translating target designs into production-grade systems that meet reliability, scalability, and observability standards.
• Set the technical bar for the team through code, design, review, and mentorship, raising the depth and consistency of engineering practice across AI Engineering.
• Drive resolution of the system's hardest technical problems, including incident response, root-cause analysis, and architecture-level remediation when the platform misbehaves.
• Contribute to the build and operation of internal agents that automate AI Engineering workflows, including build, deployment, monitoring, and operational support.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in software, data, or AI platform engineering with expertise in production system ownership.
• Hands-on experience in AI and LLM system architecture, including agent design, orchestration, tool and context interfaces such as MCP, and reliability patterns for production-scale systems.
• In-depth understanding of systems integration and data engineering, including pipelines and integrations designed for agent consumption and production reliability.
• Track record of leading technical work that others depend on, including platform reliability, security integration, and scale.
• Expertise in programming across backend services, APIs, data pipelines, and platform infrastructure.
• Ability to make architecture-level recommendations, document tradeoffs, and align peers and leadership on technical direction.
• Be comfortable operating as the senior technical anchor in fast-moving environments where ambiguity and dependency on individual depth are real.
