You'll play a key role in architecting and implementing the systems that power our AI-driven platform, helping define how we integrate large language models (LLMs), knowledge graphs, and intelligent workflows into enterprise-scale software. This is a hands-on role for someone who codes deeply, thinks systemically, and wants to shape the future of AI-augmented engineering. Responsibilities AI-Driven Technical Ownership * Take end-to-end ownership of complex features and systems-from architecture and implementation to deployment and observability. * Design and evolve AI-native services that embed LLMs and reasoning capabilities directly into product workflows. * Work cross-functionally with product, design, and data teams to infuse AI-powered intelligence into the user and developer experience. * Drive architectural decisions that balance rapid experimentation with long-term scalability and reliability. Hands-On Engineering * Backend First: Lead design, implementation, testing, and deployment of backend services, APIs (REST/GraphQL), and core data infrastructure that power scalable enterprise workflows. * Full Stack Delivery: Build user-facing features where needed, connecting frontend UI with backend systems - you'll own the full path from browser to database. * Shape the Stack: Help define and evolve our architecture - from backend systems and databases to the UI frameworks and client integrations that consume them. * AI and Workflow Innovation: Integrate AI/LLM capabilities into backend pipelines and product logic that make ITSM smarter and easier to use. * Performance & Scale: Architect highly performant, secure, and scalable services for enterprise environments, with monitoring and observability in place. * Collaboration: Partner with designers, frontend engineers, and infrastructure teams to translate product thinking into real, high-impact solutions. * Developer Experience: Improve internal tooling, deployment pipelines, and best practices around CI/CD and automated testing. * Security & Compliance: Build with enterprise-grade security and compliance in mind from the start (SOC 2, ISO 27001). ## Related Videos - [Leveraging Real time data in FSIs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/806-leveraging-real-time-data-in-fsis) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Build and Deploy a Fullstack App with Open Source Tooling](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/775-build-and-deploy-a-fullstack-app-with-open-source-tooling) - [Tomorrow's cloud data platforms - fully managed database-as-a-service (DBaaS)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/254-tomorrow-s-cloud-data-platforms-fully-managed-database-as-a-service-dbaas) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
