Senior Backend Software Engineer (GenAI Platform)

About the Role  This is a role for someone who wants to shape the fundamentals of our platform, both technically and strategically. You’ll lead the design of scalable GenAI systems and connectivity to other platforms and tools, define effective AI best practices, mentor engineers, and influence how AI is built across the company, all while staying deeply hands-on. It’s about ownership and impact: building, leading, and shaping impact end-to-end. What You'll Do: * Lead the architecture and implementation of scalable GenAI solutions. * Define and enforce AI best practices: evaluation, privacy, responsible AI, and performance. * Drive AI strategy across teams and products. * Read, interpret, and apply cutting-edge AI research. * Design infrastructure that enables AI at scale—from zero to one to production. * Mentor engineers and grow technical leadership across the organization. What We're Looking for: * 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong AI/ML focus. * Proven experience designing and shipping GenAI systems to production. * Deep expertise in LLMs, agents, orchestration, and RAG pipelines. * Strong backend and cloud architecture skills (AWS preferred). * Ability to communicate complex AI concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. * Aspiration for technical leadership today, with potential for broader management tomorrow. Who Will Thrive Here * People who don’t resist change, they run toward it. * Engineers who embrace the reality that software development has fundamentally evolved. * Builders energized by experimentation, ambiguity, and innovation. * Curious problem-solvers who read docs, try things, break, and fix. * Those eager to help build a new company inside a company.
