About the Company
We're building the next generation of agentic platforms and solutions — AI systems that plan, reason, and act in enterprise environments.
About the Role
As our Staff Backend Engineer, you'll be working shoulder to shoulder with AI engineers, product designers, and founders to ship systems that are modular, scalable, and battle-tested — all while pushing the boundaries of what's possible with autonomous agents. Bonus: You'll work in an environment where using AI tools to boost your own efficiency is expected, not optional.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and scale backend systems that power our AI orchestration engine — including API layers, state management, async job queues, task planners, and more
- Collaborate with AI engineers to integrate LLM-based agents, RAG pipelines, vector stores, and multi-agent orchestration tools into a robust backend architecture
- Build platform capabilities such as: Agent identity management and secure credentials, Agent task routing and lifecycle management (e.g. using Temporal), Modular plugin and tool-execution infrastructure
- Own the API and service architecture used by front-end apps, third-party APIs, and clients
- Optimize for performance, observability, and reliability — your work will run thousands of real-world agent workflows every day
- Champion clean code, test automation, CI/CD, and documentation across the team
- Contribute to platform-level decisions: event streaming, agent memory persistence, auth layers, deployment pipelines, cloud infra, etc.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, and raise the bar across engineering quality and speed
Qualifications
- 9+ years of experience as a backend engineer with a proven track record of designing scalable systems in fast-paced environments
- Expert in Java — and confident working with microservices, serverless functions, etc.
- Experience building distributed systems with tools like PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, REST APIs, etc.
- Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration engines like Temporal, or equivalent — and building resilient async pipelines
- Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures (GCP, AWS, or Azure), containers (Docker), and infra-as-code (Terraform)
- A builder's mindset — you thrive in 0-to-1 environments and care about impact
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills. You're comfortable working cross-functionally with AI teams, design, and product leadership
