## About the Role

+ Experience: Around 5 years of professional backend development experience, with a solid track record of building and operating production-grade services.
 + Async Python & Core Web Frameworks (3+ yrs): Deep understanding of asyncio and hands-on production experience with FastAPI (Pydantic, dependency injection, OpenAPI).
 + Network Protocol & Streaming Fundamentals:
o Strong grasp of HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and SSE (Server-Sent Events) / Chunked transfer encoding essential for real-time LLM inference streaming.
o Practical understanding of the TCP/IP lifecycle, connection pooling, keep-alive, and managing back-pressure.

 + Database & Async Messaging:
o Proficiency in PostgreSQL (query tuning, connection pooling via PgBouncer).
o Experience with message queues or event streams (e.g., Redis Streams, RabbitMQ, or Kafka) for decoupled task processing.

 + Containerization & CI/CD:
o Docker, Kubernetes (basic workload management, deployment, HPA), and setting up CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / GitLab CI).
Work experience desired

 + Collaborative Security & Infra Awareness: Willingness to work with internal security/network teams on NGINX/Envoy reverse-proxy setup, mTLS, or IAM/SSO (OIDC/SAML) integrations.
 + AI/LLM Integration: Experience handling LLM API payloads, managing rate limits, or implementing simple proxy/gateway patterns for AI services.
 + Infrastructure as Code: Basic familiarity with Terraform for multi-env infrastructure management.

## Description

We are building an AI Gateway-a high-performance intermediary that routes, inspects, and governs traffic between enterprise clients and LLM/AI service providers. In this role you will own the entire full-stack lifecycle of the gateway, from core Python API service design and implementation to containerization, deployment, monitoring, and day-to-day operations.
While you can consult network and security specialists for architecture reviews, threat modeling, and policy definition, the application code, testing, CI/CD pipeline, and production operations will be developed and maintained solely by you. You'll have full technical autonomy to design, build, and scale a robust, production-grade system.
