WoPa.ai (Work Paths to Work Passion) is an AI Career Companion leveraging cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence to help professionals define, plan, and find their best careers, their Ikigai. For the first time, Gen AI allows us to spearhead a mission dedicated to fostering not just better, but more fulfilling and highly productive careers. This endeavor goes beyond personal aspirations; it is a collective commitment to reshaping our well-being and optimizing the collective utilization of human talent within our civilization.

Our vision is supported and funded by AI Fund, founded by Dr. Andrew Ng, a venture studio backed by NEA, Softbank, Sequoia, and Greylock, that bridges AI technology and critical applications.
We seek an exceptional and self-motivated Backend Software Engineer to join our core engineering team. The ideal teammate is an experienced professional looking to take ownership of the development of a new RAG LLM solution - from data pipelines to analyzing performance in a production environment. Since you’ll be joining an early-stage startup at the ground level, you’ll need to be able to wear multiple hats and thrive while working in a dynamic environment.
This is a remote role that will be based in LATAM.
Responsibilities of the Role Include:
- Developing complex backend services using Python language, server-side logic, and APIs to facilitate seamless communication.
- Leveraging models such as GPT, OpenAI, Gemini, or similar to develop innovative solutions. Explore and implement RAG methodology to enhance the relevance and coherence of generated content.
- Design, optimization, and management of databases with experience in both relational databases (such as PostgreSQL) and vector databases.
- Making architectural contributions and decisions to constantly improve the reliability of our software and maintainability of our codebase.
- Implementing test-driven code using modern techniques.
- Following agile processes with a focus on delivering production-ready testable code in small iterations.
You Should be:
- Curious to learn and assimilate information quickly, enthusiastic to share and teach others.
- Keenly analytical and obsessed about problem-solving.
- An outstanding communicator with sound interpersonal skills.
- Strongly interested in fast-moving AI technologies and continuous learning.
- Able to work autonomously and resourcefully in a fast-paced startup environment.
Requirements For the Role Include:
- A minimum of 2 years of work experience, primarily as a Python Backend engineer.
- Expertise in Python demonstrated by implementing multiple production-grade projects in frameworks such as Django, Flask, or FastAPI.
- Experience with concepts in API development, Postgres, cloud computing, and data engineering.
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience.
- Familiarity with generative LLM fine-tuning and prompt engineering.
- Professional experience designing, training, and deploying machine learning models is a plus.
- Regular contributions to popular open-source projects are a plus.
