Strong English skills are also crucial to efficiently interacting with AI. * Prior industry experience with Python back-end development (this is not an entry-level position). * Experience building and operating RESTful APIs and working with databases. * Experience integrating into AWS or similar cloud providers. Ideally, but not required * FastAPI and Pydantic experience. * DynamoDB or Postgres, SQLAlchemy. * Exposure to LLM application development, agent frameworks, or building developer tools. * Prior ops or on-call experience. * Experience with distributed systems, async task processing, or observability tooling (tracing, metrics, logging). ## Description Taktile is building a platform for creating, publishing, and executing AI-powered agents that help teams automate complex workflows in financial services. The Agents team owns the agent execution runtime, tool orchestration, and platform infrastructure that makes this possible., * Build and ship backend features for Taktile's AI agent platform in Python (FastAPI), deployed on AWS serverless infrastructure. * Own your work end-to-end: collaborate on scope, implement, test, release, and iterate based on real usage and customer feedback. * Improve how agents run, how they connect to external tools, and how they behave when something goes wrong. * Use leading-edge AI tools (e.g. Claude) on a daily basis to move faster, improve quality, and build AI-native capabilities where it makes sense. * Review pull requests with depth, improve test coverage and CI/CD, and raise the bar on reliability and engineering excellence. * Engage actively in team rituals such as daily syncs, planning sessions, demos, and technical deep-dive discussions. * Grow as an individual and accelerate your career by learning from experienced team members, contributing to a foundational layer of the product, and joining cross-team learning groups. * For career growth at Taktile, this role will involve daytime ops duty and at some point joining an on-call rotation, so you need to have passion for owning systems end to end and grow your DevSecOps skills as well. Technical stack * Backend: Python (FastAPI, Pydantic) * Data: DynamoDB, Postgres * Cloud: AWS serverless (Lambda, API Gateway) * AI: LLM orchestration, tool-use frameworks, streaming execution * Frontend: React, TypeScript (you will collaborate closely, but this is not a front-end role) ## Related Videos - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Building and Deploying Multi-Agent Systems with ADK and Vertex AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1918-building-and-deploying-multi-agent-systems-with-adk-and-vertex-ai) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
