Our platform enables reliable, autonomous AI agents to execute business-critical workflows across regulated enterprise environments.\nWe are an in-person team in New York, building at the intersection of AI, enterprise software, workflow automation, and financial services. We move with urgency, take ownership, communicate transparently, and care deeply about doing excellent work. We are looking for people who are grounded under pressure, learn quickly, earn trust with teammates and customers, and want to help define how AI agents are deployed safely and effectively in the enterprise.\nAbout the Role\nArtian AI is looking for a Senior Software Engineer - Backend to lead development of the core platform behind our agentic AI automation product. You will design and build the backend systems that allow autonomous agents to execute business-critical workflows reliably, securely, and at enterprise scale.\nThis is a senior individual contributor role for an engineer who can own major technical decisions, raise engineering standards, and translate ambiguous product and customer needs into durable backend architecture.\nWhat You’ll Do\nLead design and implementation of backend architecture for Artian’s AI automation platform.\n\nBuild scalable services, APIs, orchestration systems, workflow engines, data models, and integration layers.\n\nDesign platform primitives for permissions, state, auditability, observability, reliability, and enterprise deployment.\n\nPartner with AI/ML engineers to productionize agent capabilities and support complex AI-driven workflows.\n\nOwn major backend workstreams from technical design through implementation, launch, and iteration.\n\nImprove engineering practices around testing, monitoring, code quality, deployment, and incident response.\n\nMentor engineers and help establish technical standards for a high-performing engineering team.\n\nMake pragmatic architecture decisions that balance speed, correctness, reliability, and long-term maintainability.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nSignificant backend engineering experience with a record of shipping production systems.\n\nDeep Python experience and strong software architecture fundamentals.\n\nExperience designing APIs, distributed systems, workflow systems, data platforms, or enterprise SaaS infrastructure.\n\nStrong understanding of databases, asynchronous processing, observability, cloud infrastructure, security, and system reliability.\n\nAbility to own ambiguous technical problems and drive them to high-quality outcomes.\n\nStrong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across engineering, product, and customer-facing teams.\n\nA high bar for engineering quality and a bias toward building simple, robust systems.\n\nNice to Have\nMS in Computer Science or a closely related engineering discipline, or equivalent industry experience.\nExperience building enterprise SaaS, workflow automation platforms, developer platforms, or mission-critical systems.\n\nExperience with AI/ML infrastructure, LLM applications, agent orchestration, or data-intensive automation.\n\nExperience with financial services, regulated environments, auditability, compliance, or security-sensitive systems.\n\nExperience at an early-stage company where senior engineers shape architecture and culture.\n\nWhy Join Artian\nOwn foundational architecture for enterprise-grade autonomous agents.\n\nBuild systems that must be reliable, observable, secure, and scalable from day one.\n\nWork in a high-ownership environment with direct influence on product and engineering direction.\n\nHelp define the platform layer for agentic AI in financial services.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3687,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T13:21:34Z"}],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.321,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":141,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:14","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-30T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/artian-senior-software-engineer-backend","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/artian-senior-software-engineer-backend.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-01T02:42:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2030,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2970,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z"}}}
