Architect and maintain reliable, versioned APIs with strong backward‑compatibility for internal and external integrations. Deliver scalable microservices and asynchronous systems designed for high throughput, low latency, and real‑time streaming. Set engineering standards across API design, testing, documentation, and CI/CD automation.Guide backend and frontend teams by providing clear HLD/LLD artifacts, conducting peer reviews, and ensuring clean architecture adoption. Champion telemetry integrations—logging, metrics, and tracing—across services to enhance system observability and debuggability. Publish client SDKs, Postman collections, and developer‑focused portals to ease service consumption and onboarding.Mentor engineers, drive architectural clarity, and align backend strategies with product vision. Collaborate with AI/ML teams to integrate agent orchestration frameworks and model‑serving platforms. Basic Qualifications

7+ years of experience in software development. Expertise in backend development using Python (FastAPI) and/or TypeScript (Node.js). Proven experience defining API contracts using OpenAPI, Swagger, gRPC, and Postman with a contract‑first mindset. Deep understanding of microservices, event‑driven and asynchronous system design, leveraging Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar message brokers.Mastery of asynchronous programming, multiprocessing, and real‑time streaming via WebSockets, Kafka streams, or media pipelines. Practical experience with cloud‑native development (AWS, GCP, Azure), including autoscaling, serverless, API gateways, and managed databases. Hands‑on experience with API lifecycle management (authentication, versioning, ratelimiting, throttling).Deep commitment to automated testing strategies, including TDD/BDD, unit, integration, and contract testing. Strong command of CI/CD pipelines, environment promotion strategies, and infrastructure‑as‑code principles. Skilled at producing HLD/LLD documentation, UML/sequence diagrams, and applying relevant design patterns for system resilience and scalability.Ownership of software release cycles, ensuring zero‑downtime deployments and rollback strategies. Familiarity with React, TypeScript, and JavaScript for building internal tools and agent configuration dashboards. Understanding of HTML5, CSS3, and UI development principles for user‑centric AI interfaces.Other Qualifications (OQs)

Exposure to LLM orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex), prompt engineering, and tool‑calling frameworks. Experience with RAG architectures, vector DBs (Milvus, Pinecone, PGVector), and MLOps frameworks (NVIDIA Triton, KServe). Understanding of Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent‑to‑Agent toolkits for advanced agent workflows.Clinical/life sciences exposure, including FHIR, clinical systems integration, or healthcare data privacy standards. Strong UX awareness to influence AI‑driven product design and user journeys. End‑to‑end experience architecting AI‑powered applications with measurable impact. Benefits

Impact at a fast‑growing AI‑first digital engineering company. Opportunity to upskill and solve complex challenges with cutting‑edge technologies. Work with disruptive innovators in a research‑focused organization. Exposure to breakthrough AI, ML, data, and cloud technologies while collaborating with Fortune 500 companies.Diverse, hybrid work culture and global collaboration opportunities.
