Job description
Own the AI and infrastructure layer: multi-agent orchestration on Anthropic Claude API, RAG pipelines on Supabase + pgvector, agent memory and audit logging, tool calling architecture, and our self-hosted FFmpeg video pipeline (ClipForge).
Stack: Next.js 14 API routes, TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres, RLS, pgvector), Railway, Anthropic Claude API, FFmpeg, Resend, Twilio.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement multi-agent workflows with Claude API: coordination, tool calling, memory, audit logging
- Build RAG pipelines with pgvector: embeddings, vector search, data ingestion
- Develop scalable Next.js 14 APIs with proper auth, rate limiting, RLS policies
- Maintain ClipForge video rendering pipeline with queue management and error handling
- Harden infrastructure under load: monitoring, alerting, circuit breakers, graceful degradation
- Integrate Resend (email) and Twilio (SMS) for notifications
Requirements
Node.jsPostgreSQLTypeScriptVector databases, Must Have:
