Python Backend Engineer
ABOUT THIS FEATURED OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a highly skilled Python Backend Engineer to join an AI-driven initiative within the Finance domain. This is a 100% individual contributor role focused on building enterprise-level applications handling highly sensitive financial data. You will be hands-on in backend development, creating scalable web applications, and working with Generative AI models (though not necessarily as a Machine Learning Engineer). This is a major initiative with a 3–4 year roadmap, offering an opportunity to work in a high-impact environment where technical expertise, scalable solutions, and a passion for innovation are critical to success.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
You will work as part of a specialized AI team, designing and building scalable, reliable backend solutions for critical finance and business use cases. This includes:
- Backend development using Python and FastAPI, focused on scalable, distributed web applications.
- Working with open-source Gen AI frameworks and integrating AI agents, LangChain, LangGraph, Hugging Face models, and more into applications.
- Deploying and managing distributed systems and asynchronous architectures in AWS cloud environments.
- Designing solutions that minimize scalability issues, improve performance, and meet stringent enterprise reliability standards.
This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who are passionate about backend development, finance domain innovation, and who are eager to grow their expertise in Gen AI and cloud ecosystems.
KEY SUCCESS FACTORS (top 3 must haves)
- Python Backend Development
- 4–6 years of hands-on backend experience with Python.
- Expertise in building scalable web applications using FastAPI.
- Strong understanding of asynchronous systems and distributed system design.
- Experience deploying backend services in AWS environments.
- Generative AI Framework Familiarity
- Working knowledge of open-source Gen AI models (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, Hugging Face, Gemini).
- Ability to prototype using DAGs and integrate Gen AI models with Python applications.
- Understanding of AI Agents and how to fine-tune and optimize LLMs.
- Comfortable using agent frameworks to build scalable AI-enabled solutions.
- Cloud Ecosystem and Deployment Expertise
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, Dockerization/Containerization).
- End-to-end deployment of backend applications in AWS cloud environments.
- Basic understanding of networking policies and cloud infrastructure management.
NICE TO HAVES
- Machine Learning experience, particularly around model training and optimization.
- Experience with Java or Scala.
- Full-stack development background, particularly service-layer work with Python.
- Deeper understanding of AWS platform networking, container deployment strategies, and managed platform solutions.
Our benefits package includes:
- Comprehensive medical benefits
- Competitive pay
- 401(k) retirement plan
