ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Backend Engineer who brings strong backend fundamentals along with hands-on experience building agentic systems, automation pipelines, and developer tools. This role goes beyond traditional backend work — you will design and build intelligent agents, automate workflows, develop automation pipelines for the products, and create tools that multiply the productivity of the engineering team. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ship automation-first features and infrastructure

As we scale our engineering efforts, we are shifting toward agent-powered development and intelligent automation. Rather than a traditional backfill, we are hiring someone who can combine solid backend engineering with deep expertise in agentic systems and tooling (e.g., Claude tool-use, MCP, LangChain agents, CLI tooling) to drive a new generation of internal and customer-facing automation

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and APIs using Python, Java, or Go in a cloud-native environment.
• Build and deploy agentic systems using Claude tool-use, MCP (Model Context Protocol), LangChain agents, and function-calling patterns.
• Own the development and maintenance of automation pipelines for the product, ensuring reliability, scalability, and continuous improvement.
• Architect and implement automation pipelines that reduce manual effort across engineering, QA, and operations workflows.
• Develop internal developer tools and CLI utilities that improve team velocity and code quality.
• Integrate agent-powered and automation features into existing products — including intelligent document processing, search, and content analysis.
• Collaborate with product, QA, and platform teams to identify automation opportunities and ship solutions end-to-end.
• Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code with proper observability (logging, metrics, alerting).
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and technical documentation.

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS:

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4-6 years of professional backend engineering experience with strong proficiency in Python (preferred), Java, or Go.
• Hands-on experience building agentic applications using tools such as Claude tool-use, MCP, LangChain, or similar frameworks, including function-calling and multi-step orchestration.
• Solid understanding of RESTful API design, microservices architecture, and relational/NoSQL databases.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, version control (Git), and automated testing practices.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

GOOD TO HAVE

• Experience with agentic frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or Claude tool-use SDK.
• Background in building internal developer tools, CLI tooling, or workflow automation platforms.
• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) and multi-agent orchestration patterns.
• Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or similar).
• Exposure to QA automation — test frameworks, CI integration, and quality tooling — is a strong plus.
• Contributions to open-source projects or a demonstrable portfolio of automation side projects.

BENEFITS

• Competitive salaries
• Medical insurance and healthcare benefits for you and your family
• Fully paid premiums for life insurance
• Flexible hours and PTO
• Gym reimbursement
• Childcare reimbursement
• Group term life insurance
