  • Build production-grade APIs using Python and FastAPI with strong testing and observability
  • Implement LLM-powered workflows with robust safeguards, validation, and failure handling
  • Establish automated AI evaluations, test datasets, regression suites, and monitoring for model behavior
  • Harden applications with security controls for sensitive data, auditing, and access management
  • Collaborate with product and business users to refine requirements and ship iterative improvements
  • Drive code quality through reviews, standards, and maintainable engineering practices
  • Integrate AI-assisted programming and coding agents while critically validating generated code
  • Troubleshoot production issues with disciplined incident response and root-cause analysis
  • Guide technical decisions in a low-process environment and keep delivery momentum high

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with Python
  • Strong technical leadership and mentoring experience in senior engineering teams
  • Proven system design experience for production backend services and APIs
  • Deep FastAPI experience or strong experience with comparable Python web frameworks
  • Hands-on experience with AI-DLC and Gen AI assisted development workflows
  • Strong Large Language Models (LLM) application experience, including prompt design and integration patterns
  • Proven AI evaluation and quality engineering skills, including automated evals and regression testing
  • Strong AI security knowledge, including privacy, access control, prompt-injection risks, and guardrails
  • High autonomy and self-governance skills to deliver from vague requirements through implementation
  • Strong product judgment skills to identify edge cases and prioritize reliability and maintainability
  • Advanced English proficiency (C1, Advanced)
