## Description

To achieve this, we enhance open data with AI to make real estate financing faster, simpler, and more sustainable.
Why this role matters

You'll be a senior engineer on the team responsible for the Python backend that powers our AI-driven processing platform in production. Beyond orchestrating LLMs, computer vision, and other ML systems, these services run core domain logic, integrate data from a range of sources, and expose the APIs that serve real customer workloads at scale.

These systems are how our customers actually experience credium-when they're fast, reliable, and accurate, the whole product works. You'll have a direct hand in making that true.
What you'll do

 * Own core systems and their architecture, the production environment, and the platform's reliability, scalability, and performance-consistently delivering high-quality features
 * Drive optimization of resource usage and cost, using monitoring and load-testing data to guide engineering decisions across the team
 * Work closely with machine learning engineers and backend developers to bridge the gap between AI models and production-ready software
 * Drive discussions with multiple stakeholders and lead cross-team technical alignment and delivery
