- Backend systems that are automation-friendly, test-friendly, and reliable enough for production use
The candidate must be comfortable working with:
- Multi-agentic systems around LLM providers such as OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, built mainly with Python
- Agentic coding harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalent tools as part of the actual engineering workflow
- Backend workflows involving jobs, state machines, retries, data validation, evaluation loops, and human review
Examples of projects you could be responsible for:
- Creating a multi-agent system to generate educational videos for users, where coding harnesses like Claude Code or Codex are used to iteratively refine the output autonomously
- Building backend workflows for automatic grading, feedback generation, learning path optimization, and AI-assisted review
- Designing services that coordinate LLM calls, tools, queues, data stores, and human approval steps
- Creating automation and testing systems that use LLMs or agents to simulate user behavior, reproduce bugs, and detect failures
You would also be expected to tackle common engineering problems such as bug fixes,
backend feature upgrades, integrations, test improvements, and operational reliability work.

- Familiarity with agent orchestration frameworks, tool-calling, memory, and evaluation loops
- 1+ year of experience working with agentic LLM systems in production or production-like environments
- 2-8 years of experience building backend applications with FastAPI, with Flask or Django also acceptable
- Experience designing backend systems that are automation- and test-friendly
- Experience with Firebase, GCP tools, Cloud Run, Firestore, Pub/Sub, Cloud Tasks, or similar cloud services
- Strong testing mindset with high standards for test quality, documentation, observability, and debuggability
- Experience using LLMs to simulate user behavior, generate tests, detect bugs, and reproduce failures
- Comfortable working across QA systems, feature development, integrations, operations, and bug fixing
Experience with the following is preferred:
- Vector databases, such as Qdrant, Weaviate, or Milvus
- Graph databases, such as Neo4j or Nebula Graph
- Set-up and maintenance of DevOps systems, including CI/CD, observability, and alerting
- Integration with payment gateways such as Airwallex or StripeExperience training or improving computer vision models or VLMs
