Backend Developer Python AI - Sandton - R800k PA
An exciting opportunity is available for a Backend Developer with strong Python experience to join a senior engineering team building and scaling production-grade AI technology.
This is more than a traditional backend role. You'll be working on modern systems powering voice and text AI, real-time telephony and complex integrations within a regulated environment. The environment is deliberately lean, with technical architects setting the direction across AI and platform, player-coach leads driving delivery, and engineers trusted to take ownership.
You'll be working on technology where AI, backend engineering, cloud infrastructure and real-time communication come together.
This is a genuine opportunity to build voice AI operating at scale in a regulated industry - not another proof-of-concept project.
What You'll Be Working With:
- This is a modern, cloud-native environment built around:
- Python and API-first architecture
- Microsoft Azure
- Kubernetes / AKS
- Docker
- Bicep Infrastructure as Code
- CI/CD
- Real-time telephony
- Leading LLM, STT and TTS technologies
- GitHub-based development workflows
