About the company

Our client builds an AI platform that enables enterprises to customize and deploy AI capabilities for their specific needs. The platform team is central to this work, responsible for infrastructure, shared components, and internal tooling that the rest of engineering depends on. The team works closely with product and applied AI engineers, with short feedback loops and genuine technical ownership.

The role

This is a backend-focused engineering position working on core platform systems. You'll design and build the foundational services that AI-native products run on — dealing with architecture decisions, performance problems, data modeling, and system reliability.

The work is technically demanding. When something difficult or critical needs to be solved properly, this role is expected to lead that effort.

What you'll work on

Designing and implementing backend services and system components end-to-end
Building infrastructure that supports fast iteration without sacrificing reliability
Investigating and resolving complex issues across performance, data, and APIs
Collaborating with platform, AI, and product teams to deliver systems that are observable and maintainable
Improving developer experience through better tooling, clearer standards, and thoughtful architecture

What we're looking for

5+ years of software engineering experience with JavaScript tech stack, with clear ownership of complex backend systems
Strong Node.js proficiency- clean, well-structured backend code matters here
Solid understanding of relational databases (PostgreSQL) and data modeling
Good debugging instincts and sound engineering judgement
Ability to learn new domains quickly and work independently

Useful additions

Experience with distributed systems, caching layers, message queues, or multi-tenant architectures
Background in AI/LLM integration on the backend
Familiarity with AI development platforms or coding assistants
Previous work on enterprise platforms or AI infrastructure
Platform/infrastructure experience: observability, CI/CD, API design
