You'll build and maintain serverless event-driven systems and APIs that integrate with third-party services. You'll be responsible for driving technical and product decisions based on your expertise, designing solutions that leverage modern AI capabilities to deliver real value to users. Rather than a monolithic environment, you will help develop an ecosystem of services, as you identify and isolate parts of the system to increase reliability and promote quality.

## What You’ll Do

- Build and maintain integrations with third-party platforms and APIs.
- Help define, implement, and maintain our growing ecosystem of microservices.
- Work in software teams where code reviews and pair programming are part of our strong engineering culture.
- Take a security-first approach to implementing features and changes.
- Collaborate with and mentor less experienced engineers on best practices and architectures.
- Have a strong eye on the bigger picture because everything you do will have an impact on 100,000 users globally.

## What We’re Looking For Nice to Have

- 5+ years developing scalable, production-ready backend systems.
- Experience with search and retrieval systems, vector search, semantic search
- Experience with backend systems for AI/ML-powered products is a plus.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and [Node.js](http://node.js). Experience with JVM languages is a plus.
- Interest in or experience with AI/LLM integration and prompt engineering.
- Experience with serverless architectures and event-driven systems (message queues, state machines, asynchronous workflows).
- Experience working in a cloud environment. Experience working in AWS and familiarity with services such as Lambda, DynamoDB, Bedrock, Opensearch, and API Gateway is a plus.
- Understanding the importance of strong software testing at every stage and an advocate for test-driven development.
- Comfortable analyzing, estimating, and prioritizing complex projects.
- Ability to model data and queries around feature requirements with an emphasis on performance and scalability. Experience working in a tenant database environment is a plus
- Continuous integration and delivery mindset.
- Experience designing and implementing APIs for, and collaborating with, internal and/or public data consumers.
- Team player mentality, committed to the whole software development life cycle in an agile team.
