Senior Backend Engineer, AI Engineering: Chat

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential DevSecOps platform organization seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join their AI-powered chat engineering team. In this role, you will:

• Design and build flow components and agentic flows using Python and LangGraph within a workflow service, creating reusable building blocks that power AI-driven features
• Develop, ship, and maintain backend features across Python services and Rails applications in a secure, well-tested, and performant manner
• Integrate generative AI models, providers, tools, and multi-agent orchestration patterns to expand capabilities and improve answer quality
• Design, implement, and review GraphQL and REST APIs, including chat entry points, permissions, and flow registration logic
• Improve debugging, observability, and test coverage using pytest, RSpec, and related frameworks to ensure AI-powered workflows remain reliable at scale
• Collaborate with Product, UX, frontend, and AI specialists to refine requirements and deliver high-quality improvements through iteration
• Document standards, patterns, and learnings to raise the bar for safe AI integration and evidence-driven engineering
• Participate in Tier 2 on-call rotations to troubleshoot production issues and strengthen system resiliency

What We're Looking For

• Significant experience building and maintaining production Python backends, including APIs, data models, and asynchronous or long-running workloads
• Practical experience designing and shipping AI-powered, agentic backend features, including large language model integration, tool or function calling, and multi-agent orchestration
• Sound judgment about large language model limitations and safe use in production environments
• Working proficiency in Ruby on Rails, or a strong willingness to learn it for deep integration with monolith applications
• Proficiency designing or extending REST or GraphQL APIs with attention to scalability, maintainability, and backward compatibility
• Strong SQL skills and familiarity with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, including efficient queries and data modeling
• Ability to find, diagnose, and prevent performance and reliability problems at scale
• Experience solving technical problems of high scope and complexity while advocating for quality, security, and performance improvements
• Openness to learning and collaborating in an async-first, distributed team environment
• Hands-on experience with agent frameworks such as LangGraph or LangChain is a strong plus
