• Build and maintain provider integration frameworks for external LLM vendors such as OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as cloud AI services
• Own backend service quality through robust unit and integration testing, and continuously improve CI/CD quality gates
• Improve data access reliability and performance across PostgreSQL and Redis
• Collaborate cross-functionally on architecture, scalability, security, and operational excellence
• Lead technical design discussions and deliver solutions independently in ambiguous problem spaces
• Work with other product teams on their specific API requirements, troubleshoot issues, and identify new requirements

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong backend ownership
• Deep expertise in Go, including idiomatic design, interfaces, concurrency, context management, and error handling
• Hands-on experience building HTTP APIs, middleware, and service-oriented architectures
• Strong experience with PostgreSQL, including schema design, query optimization, and database migration workflows
• Practical experience with Redis (caching strategies, counters, and distributed rate-limiting patterns)
• Experience designing or working with authorization and policy systems (RBAC/ABAC concepts)
• Strong testing discipline in Go (table-driven tests, mocks, integration tests, and test containers)
• Experience operating production systems with observability tooling (OpenTelemetry metrics and tracing, dashboards, and alerting)
• Solid experience with Kubernetes and Helm deployments
• Strong CI/CD experience (GitHub Actions or equivalent)
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical design and execute independently, end-to-end
• Familiarity with GenAI concepts and OpenAI APIs, with a drive for self-learning
• Familiarity with AI-centric development while maintaining strong controls on quality and architecture patterns
• Good communication and collaboration skills
• English level of minimum B2 (Upper-Intermediate) for effective communication

Nice to have

• Experience building LLM gateways, API gateways, or multi-provider AI/ML integration platforms
• Experience with gRPC, cloud SDKs, or service integrations on AWS, Azure, or GCP
