About the Role: We’re looking for Backend Software Engineer with at least 5 years of experience who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys figuring things out by diving directly into the codebase. You’ll play a key role in building backend services and data-centric products, with a strong emphasis on modern GenAI and agentic AI applications. If you love solving complex problems, working across cloud-native systems, and experimenting with emerging AI frameworks. What You’ll Do • Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs using Python (FastAPI). • Develop and scale GenAI and agentic AI applications using frameworks such as LangChain / LangGraph, ADK, Agent Engine, CrewAI, MCP/A2A, and others. • Work across cloud environments—primarily GCP (Cloud Run/GKE, Composer, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, AlloyDB/Cloud SQL)—or equivalent cloud platforms. • Build data-driven features, pipelines, and integrations that power intelligent applications. • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate product requirements into robust backend and data solutions. • Explore and understand existing systems with minimal guidance, proposing improvements and driving initiatives independently. • Contribute to architectural decisions, code quality, and engineering best practices. What You Bring • 5+ years of hands-on backend engineering experience, with a strong foundation in building scalable backend and data products. • Proficiency in Python, especially FastAPI, and strong SQL skills. • Experience developing GenAI/agentic AI applications using modern frameworks and toolkits. • Solid understanding of cloud-native development on GCP or similar cloud platforms. • Ability to navigate large codebases, learn quickly, and operate with minimal supervision. • Strong problem-solving skills and a bias toward action. Nice-to-Have Skills • Experience with Java/Spring Boot. • Knowledge of data modeling, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures. • Familiarity with container orchestration, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code
