Requirements
Must:
We are looking for a versatile Backend / AI Developer who has hands-on experience in delivering end-to-end solutions from concept to production. You will need to possess strong expertise in Java (Spring Boot) and Python, along with the ability to build scalable microservices, SaaS platforms, and AI-powered applications. Proficiency in cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP is essential, as well as experience with API-first design, security best practices, and observability tools to ensure reliable, high-performing systems.
Additionally, you should have practical experience working with large language models (LLMs), prompt engineering, and frameworks like LangChain. Familiarity with advanced patterns such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and agent-based systems will be beneficial. A strong foundation in Agile SDLC practices is required, along with experience in containerization, DevOps, and low-code/no-code platforms. Your experience across both backend and AI domains will be crucial to seamlessly integrating AI capabilities into scalable enterprise systems.
Responsibilities
As a Backend / AI Developer, you will play a key role in core development. This includes taking solutions from concept to production while utilizing your expertise in Java (Spring Boot) and Python for backend and AI-driven application development. You will be responsible for building microservices, SaaS solutions, and API-first architectures to enable scalable, interoperable systems.
You will work with various frameworks and tools, focusing on backend technologies like Spring Boot, JUnit 5, and Mockito, as well as AI frameworks like LangChain and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Your role will also involve designing and deploying distributed systems on cloud hyperscalers (AWS, GCP) and leveraging containerization (Docker) along with CI/CD pipelines. Security best practices and performance monitoring will be integral to your responsibilities, ensuring scalable and secure applications.
In addition, you will be involved in the end-to-end development of AI-powered solutions, integrating your AI capabilities into scalable enterprise platforms. Familiarity with the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and effective collaboration in Agile environments will be key parts of your daily activities.
Description
We encourage applications from individuals who also have knowledge of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and schema-first development. If you have experience in designing plugin architectures and extensibility frameworks, that would be advantageous. Exposure to frontend development (HTML5, CSS3, TypeScript, responsive UIs) for full-stack collaboration is also a plus. Join us as we build the next generation of intelligent, secure, and high-performance applications. We look forward to reviewing your application!
