  • Build and implement agent-based workflows including multi-step execution, tool integrations, and AI-driven decision flows. 

  • Work with enterprise systems including HR, IT, identity, and operational platforms. 

  • Develop secure, scalable, and high-performance backend architectures. 

  • Implement asynchronous processing, event-driven communication, and API integrations. 

  • Collaborate with frontend, mobile, DevOps, product, and AI engineering teams. 

  • Support cloud-native deployments using containers and Kubernetes. 

  • Write clean, maintainable, and testable code with proper documentation and testing practices. 

  • Participate in code reviews, debugging, monitoring, and production support activities. 

  • Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and engineering best practices. 

  • Implement logging and monitoring for AI workflows including request tracing, latency tracking, and error analysis. 

Qualifications 

Need to Have 

  • 5+ years of experience in backend or platform engineering. 

  • Strong hands-on expertise in Python and FastAPI development. 

  • Experience building REST APIs, microservices, and backend integration services. 

  • Experience working with Generative AI, LLM APIs, AI orchestration frameworks, or AI-powered applications. 

  • Strong understanding of distributed systems and cloud-native application development. 

  • Experience with databases such as PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, or vector databases. 

  • Knowledge of asynchronous programming and event-driven architectures. 

  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP. 

  • Strong understanding of API security, authentication, and authorization mechanisms. 

  • Familiarity with Git-based workflows and Agile development practices. 

  • Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills. 

  • Experience with RAG pipelines, vector databases, and semantic search. 

Good to Have 

  • Exposure to LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI APIs, or similar AI frameworks. 

  • Experience with Kafka, RabbitMQ, or messaging/event-streaming platforms. 

  • Familiarity with Flutter/mobile integrations and frontend-backend communication. 

  • Experience in QSR, retail, hospitality, or enterprise digital platforms.
