  • Intelligent Automation: Implement AI-driven automation for backend tasks such as predictive scaling, anomaly detection in logs, and automated database query optimization
  • Service Orchestration: Integrate specialized AI-powered third-party services (e.g., search, authentication, or automated security auditing) into our backend architecture
  • System Reliability: Ensure high availability and performance by designing systems that handle high traffic and complex data workflows while leveraging AI for proactive maintenance

Required Technical Skills (Must Have)

  • Languages: Proficiency in Python, for high-performance server-side logic
  • AI Productivity Tools: Mastery of AI-augmented IDEs and CLI tools for code generation, refactoring, and debugging. Experience working with Claude, Cursor or similar AI tool
  • Databases: Expertise in relational (e.g., PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases, Clickhouse focusing on performance tuning and efficient schema design
  • Cloud Infrastructure: Experience with AWS (Lambda, ECS, S3) or GCP for deploying and monitoring scalable backend services.

Qualifications

  • Education : Bachelors in Computer Science Engineering only
  • Experience: 4+ years in backend engineering with a proven track record of shipping production-grade software
  • Efficiency: Demonstrated ability to deliver features significantly faster by leveraging modern AI development tools
  • Mindset: Strong architectural thinking and a focus on clean, maintainable code over "black-box" generated snippets
