AI Backend Engineer (m/w/d)

Role summary

This position is ideal for a mid-level software engineer specializing in cloud-native backend development to join the exocad Machine Learning team as a Backend Engineer, owning the production services that put ML models in front of users. Working closely with ML researchers, frontend engineers, and product teams across sites, you'll extend and operate the model serving layer behind exocad's dental CAD workflows: inference APIs, deployment and rollout automation, versioning, monitoring, and the performance and cost tuning that keeps them healthy under real workloads. You'll also contribute to the upstream training and labeling infrastructure that feeds them. This role focuses on the engineering that turns research prototypes into reliable, observable, traceable production systems, and on the operational discipline that keeps model behavior predictable release over release.
