Our Chatbot application brings AI directly into customer and business workflows, combining a robust backend with LLM-powered agents to get real work done through conversation.\n\nThis is a chance to work on hard problems in backend systems, LLM agents, and orchestration—building zero-to-one, owning your area end-to-end, and shipping to production at scale.\n\nNote: This is a customer-facing role, and strong communication skills are essential.\n\nAbout the Role:\n\nWe're looking for a Lead Software Engineer to help build and scale the backend and AI capabilities of our Chatbot application. This is a backend-heavy role for someone who can design robust, production-grade systems in Java while also bringing hands-on experience building LLM agents and orchestration layers that power intelligent conversational experiences.\n\nWhat You'll Do:\n\n- Design, build, and scale backend services in Java that power the Chatbot application.\n\n- Build and integrate LLM-powered agents into the chatbot, including agent orchestration, tool use, and multi-step reasoning workflows.\n\n- Own features end-to-end—from architecture and design through implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration.\n\n- Drive technical decisions on system architecture, reliability, performance, and scalability for a backend serving real-time conversational workloads.\n\n- Lead by example—set engineering standards, review designs and code, and mentor engineers on the team.\n\n- Collaborate closely with product, design, and AI/ML teams to translate business requirements into shipped functionality.\n\n- Work directly with customers to understand real-world use cases, troubleshoot issues, and gather feedback to inform the roadmap.\n\n- Continuously improve the chatbot's conversational quality, reliability, and response accuracy.\n\nWhat We're Looking For:\n\n- 4-6 years of backend engineering experience, with strong, hands-on expertise in Java.\n\n- Practical experience building LLM-powered agents and agent orchestration in production systems.\n\n- Solid understanding of LLM fundamentals—prompting, tool use, reasoning, and evaluation.\n\n- Strong experience designing and building scalable, production-grade backend systems and APIs.\n\n- Ability to take technical ownership and lead design/architecture decisions with minimal oversight.\n\n- Comfort working in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment, balancing hands-on coding with technical leadership.\n\n- Excellent communication skills—this is a customer-facing role, and you'll regularly engage directly with customers to understand needs and explain technical solutions.\nSkills\nJava, Generative AI, Agentic AI, Conversational AI, AI Integration,
