AI Engineer/Back-End Developer

This role is central to our AI-enablement strategy: you’ll help build and deploy platforms that let teams seamlessly integrate new algorithms, digital twins, and AI-powered tools into breeding pipelines and workflows-ensuring they are versioned, reproducible, monitored, and ready for real-world use.

• Design and maintain back-end services and APIs that expose data and algorithms to internal users and downstream systems, with a focus on production readiness for deployment
• Collaborate closely with scientists, data engineers, and other stakeholders to translate domain problems into robust software solutions-and carry them through deployment into breeding workflows
• Build and optimize large-scale batch compute jobs for numerically intensive scientific workloads
• Help advance engineering practices as the team scales its AI capabilities

Do you have experience in Python?, Do you have a Bachelor’s degree?, You’re a pragmatic engineer who takes ownership end-to-end-from design and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and ongoing operations. You thrive in a collaborative environment, can work autonomously, and value sharing expertise and learning from others. You’re comfortable bridging software engineering and computational science-optimizing algorithms, designing scalable APIs, and delivering reliable systems that enable stakeholders to iterate and innovate with confidence., * Bachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience), with 10+ years of relevant experience

• Strong Python skills
• Strong communication skills - able to work effectively with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders

• Working knowledge of AWS (deploying and operating cloud services, storage, and compute)
• Experience with large-scale batch computing
• Experience with scientific libraries and numerically heavy code
• At least some experience with compiled languages such as C++ or Rust
• Experience writing and integrating web APIs

What Makes You Stand Out:

• Experience with Terraform
• Familiarity with LLM integration, RAG pipelines, or building AI-assisted tools
• Background in scientific computing, genetics, agriculture or related domains
