Backend is your foundation - 7+ years owning microservices, APIs, and distributed systems at scale. AI is your evolution - you have shipped at least one LLM-powered feature in production, and you understand where the technology is taking the industry.\nKey Responsibilities: \nBackend Architecture & Engineering:\nOwn the technical architecture of Vezeeta’s core backend systems - booking, pharmacy, CRM, and patient management - ensuring they are scalable, fault-tolerant, and production-ready.\nCollaborate closely with product and business stakeholders to translate requirements into clear, actionable technical directions.\nDesign and govern microservices architecture: service boundaries, communication patterns, data models, and reliability standards.\nSet and enforce backend engineering standards across the team: code quality, design patterns, testing strategy, and CI/CD practices.\nSolve cross-cutting architectural problems that require someone with enough seniority to make decisions affecting multiple teams.\nOwn backend performance: query optimisation, caching strategies, latency targets, and system observability.\nAI Integration:\nOwn the integration layer between AI capabilities and Vezeeta’s backend services - how LLMs, agents, and RAG pipelines plug into booking, pharmacy, and patient systems.\nOwn the technical delivery roadmap for AI features - from design through deployment, monitoring, and iteration.\nBuild production-grade AI integrations that are reliable, observable, and maintainable - treating AI as an engineering discipline, not a research experiment.\nEstablish AI engineering best practices for the team: how to integrate LLMs reliably, how to monitor AI systems in production, how to evaluate quality and manage cost.\nEvaluate and recommend AI frameworks and tools that make practical sense for Vezeeta’s specific needs.\nTechnical Leadership:\nServe as the technical reference across engineering squads - the person others escalate hard architectural decisions to.\nMentor senior engineers and raise the technical bar through code reviews, architecture sessions, and\nKnowledge sharing.\nTranslate product and business requirements into clear technical direction and system designs.\nPartner with the Tech VP on architectural strategy, technical trade-offs, and the engineering roadmap.\nRequirements: \nBackend Engineering - Non-Negotiable:\n7+ years of backend engineering experience with strong ownership of production systems at scale.\nProficiency in C#/.NET and/or Python - building APIs, microservices, and backend services that real\nusers depend on.\nDeep understanding of microservices architecture, distributed systems, and event-driven design.\nStrong database expertise: SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or MySQL - schema design, query optimisation, and\nindexing.\nHands-on production experience with Docker and Kubernetes.\nExperience with cloud platforms - AWS preferred (Lambda, ECS, SQS, SNS, S3, RDS).\nConfirmed technical leadership experience: setting standards, reviewing architecture, mentoring\nengineers.\nAI Integration:\nHas shipped at least one LLM-powered feature, AI agent, or RAG pipeline in a production environment - not a demo, not a course project.\nFamiliar with at least one AI integration framework: LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, or equivalent.\nBasic understanding of RAG architecture and vector databases.\nComfortable making an LLM API call from a backend service and handling the reliability, latency, and cost implications.\nCurious about AI and staying current - experimenting, not just reading.\nSoft Skills\nCommunicates technical complexity clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.\n\nOpinionated about engineering quality but pragmatic about delivery.\nSelf-directed and proactive - identifies problems before they become incidents.\nComfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving environments.\nEducation\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.\nDemonstrated production experience is weighted more than formal credentials.\nWhat Makes This Role Exceptional: \nOwn the backend architecture of a healthcare platform serving millions of patients across the MENA region.\nBe the technical reference for the engineering team - cross-team influence without becoming a people manager.\nBuild the bridge between Vezeeta’s proven backend infrastructure and the AI layer that will define its next chapter.\nDirect partnership with the Tech VP on architectural decisions and engineering strategy.\nA clear growth path toward Principal Engineer or Head of Engineering as the platform and team scale.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4729,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-15T16:55:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.541,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":116,"expected_fill_days":46,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/vezeeta-staff-engineer-backend-ai-systems","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/vezeeta-staff-engineer-backend-ai-systems.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T15:36:15Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3478,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":57487},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=57487"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fvezeeta-staff-engineer-backend-ai-systems"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fvezeeta-staff-engineer-backend-ai-systems"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fvezeeta-staff-engineer-backend-ai-systems"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/vezeeta-staff-engineer-backend-ai-systems\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fvezeeta-staff-engineer-backend-ai-systems"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2633520}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"vezeeta.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2633520},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
