What We’re Looking For

We are seeking an experienced Software Engineer to help build and enhance cloud-native capabilities within our SaaS platform. This role is primarily focused on developing reliable, scalable Python services and APIs, with opportunities to work on generative AI, intelligent agents, and other emerging AI capabilities.

The ideal candidate has a strong background in backend software development, particularly within a SaaS or cloud-based product environment. Prior experience with large language models, LangChain, retrieval-augmented generation, or AI agents is beneficial but not required. We are looking for engineers who have strong software engineering fundamentals and are interested in applying those skills to modern AI-enabled applications.

This role can be performed remotely. Candidates located in or able to travel to the New York City metropolitan area are preferred and should expect to attend in-person meetings at our New Jersey office approximately once a month.

We are only considering candidates who are authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future visa sponsorship.

Key Responsibilities and Experience

• Three or more years of professional software development experience

• Strong Python development skills, including experience building production backend services and APIs

• Experience with modern Python frameworks, preferably FastAPI

• Strong understanding of software design, object-oriented programming, maintainable code, and automated testing using tools such as pytest or unittest

• Experience developing and supporting cloud-based or multi-tenant SaaS applications

• Experience designing REST APIs, service integrations, and reusable backend components

• Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized application development

• Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud-native deployment environments

• Experience working with AWS services such as EKS, S3, IAM, Lambda, and CloudWatch

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control, monitoring, logging, and production support

• Understanding of application scalability, resilience, security, and observability

• Experience with another object-oriented language such as Java, C#, or C++ is beneficial

Preferred Experience

The following experience is valuable but not required:

• Building applications that use large language models or generative AI

• LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, or similar AI application frameworks

• Developing AI agents that use tools, APIs, or external services

• Retrieval-augmented generation, embeddings, and vector search

• Amazon Bedrock or other managed AI platforms

• Prompt engineering, structured model output, and LLM evaluation

• Machine learning model deployment or MLOps practices

• Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or CloudFormation

• GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD platforms

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing, developing, testing, and maintaining Python-based backend services and APIs

• Building reusable components and platform capabilities for a cloud-native SaaS product

• Integrating internal services, external APIs, and third-party platforms

• Developing containerized services that run in Kubernetes on AWS

• Improving application scalability, resilience, security, monitoring, and operational support

• Working closely with product managers, architects, and other engineering teams to deliver customer-facing capabilities

• Contributing to software design, code reviews, automated testing, and engineering standards

• Supporting services throughout their full lifecycle, from initial design through production operation

• Applying generative AI and large language models to new product capabilities where appropriate

• Helping develop AI-enabled workflows, intelligent agents, tool integrations, and reusable GenAI platform components

• Evaluating emerging AI technologies and determining how they can be safely and effectively incorporated into the platform

The interview process would typically be structured as follows:

Team Fit. A conversation with our Senior Engineering Team to explore how you work, what you're looking for, and how you'd fit with the team

Live Coding: Build an AI Agent. Live session in your language of choice (e.g. Python). You'll build an AI agent from scratch, give it a skill, and get it to complete a real task — we're watching how you think, structure, and debug in real time, not just the output.

Technical Interview. With data science and/or engineering leadership — walk through what you built, why you made the choices you did, and how your approach extends to graph and identity problems, production systems, and team building.

On-site Requirement

This role requires travel to our New Jersey office - approximately once per quarter. Shortlisted candidates will also be asked to attend at least one interview stage in person Please factor this in before proceeding.

Our employees are our top priority; we offer comprehensive health and wellness plans. You will enjoy paid time off and company holidays, flexible and remote-friendly opportunities, and maternity/paternity leave.

At Provenir, we recognize that diversity and inclusion make our teams stronger. We are committed to equal employment opportunity and welcome everyone regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, national origin, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, domestic partner status, citizenship, or veteran status or medical condition.
