In this role, you will be at the forefront of the AI revolution, supporting a high-impact project focused on autonomous agents and intelligent backend architectures. You will join a collaborative, fast-paced team dedicated to building the next generation of AI-driven solutions. The project involves architecting sophisticated agentic workflows and leveraging advanced retrieval techniques to power business intelligence at scale. As a Backend Engineer (AI Agentic), you will be instrumental in transforming raw data and LLM capabilities into reliable, goal-oriented AI systems.

• Agentic Development: Design and implement complex AI agents and multi-agent workflows using frameworks like LangChain or LangGraph.
• Backend Architecture: Build and maintain scalable, high-performance backend services using Python to support AI-driven features.
• RAG Implementation: Develop and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to provide agents with accurate, context-aware information.
• Vector Database Management: Architect and manage vector storage solutions (Pinecone, Weaviate) to ensure efficient similarity search and data retrieval.
• System Integration: Integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) with existing APIs and third-party services to enhance agent capabilities.
• Agile Collaboration: Work closely with product owners, data scientists, and fellow engineers to translate ambitious AI requirements into production-ready code.

• AI Frameworks: Deep expertise in LangChain, LangGraph, or Semantic Kernel. ( 3 + YEARS OF EXPERIENCE)
• Backend Mastery: Senior-level proficiency in Python ( 6 + YEARS OF EXPERIENCE) and its ecosystem for building robust APIs.
• Vector Databases: Proven experience working with Pinecone, Weaviate, or similar vector search engines.

• Soft Skills: A truly collaborative team player mindset with an appetite for solving ambiguous, cutting-edge problems.
• Fluent English: Excellent verbal and written communication skills for daily technical collaboration and documentation.

• Cloud & Orchestration: Experience deploying AI workloads on Kubernetes or Docker.
• Prompt Engineering: Knowledge of advanced prompting techniques and LLM fine-tuning.
• Data Engineering: Familiarity with data processing libraries like Pandas or Spark.
• Monitoring: Experience with tools for monitoring LLM performance and cost (e.g., LangSmith).

This role is 100% remote from LATAM and requires consistent overlap with teams in Central Time (CT). Flexibility is expected to accommodate key ceremonies, stand-ups, and collaborative sessions within standard Austin business hours.

All interviews, documentation, and daily communication are in English.
