We'd Love to See: * Experience building tools, APIs, or integrations that AI agents call - MCP servers, function/tool-calling interfaces, plugins, or similar. * ML and MLOps depth: fine-tuning, eval harnesses, and deploying and evaluating models in production. * Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines. * Identity security, PAM, or Zero Trust background. For this Job, Delinea is not considering candidates that need any type of US work authorization now or in the future. This includes, but is not limited to: F1-OPT, F1-CPT, H-1B, TN, L-1, J1, etc. ## Description You'll design, build, and run the cloud services behind Delinea's AI features, with LLMs as part of your toolkit: inference, retrieval, agents, and evaluation are all product surface you own. Our services are written in C#/.NET, Python, and Go. Be strong in one, and be willing to work in any. You'll report to the Director of Engineering, Iris AI. What You'll Do * Build and run scalable, highly available backend services in C#/.NET, Python, and Go on Azure and Kubernetes. * Build LLM-powered features on platforms like Azure AI Foundry: model integration, context pipelines, RAG, tool calling, agents, and evals. * Design event-driven, asynchronous architectures across our microservices. * Own delivery end to end: Terraform, CI/CD, monitoring, and production incident response. * Work closely with product, UX, and other platform teams; give and get sharp code and design reviews. * Build with AI every day. We use coding agents to design, write, and review code, and we hold that code to the same bar as anything written by hand. ## Related Videos - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
