Job Description

What will I be doing?

Engineering & Architecture

• Design and implement robust Python backend services that connect our survey platforms with advanced processing capabilities.
• Develop and maintain custom MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and secure API layers.
• Ensure reliability, scalability, and observability across systems that integrate with third party AI models.

Integration & Implementation

• Write production-grade code supporting the full survey lifecycle—including authoring, data collection, and analytics.
• Turn experimental prototypes into stable, maintainable product features.
• Implement secure authentication, authorization, and data-handling patterns for service integrations.

Continuous Improvement

• Evaluate new frameworks and libraries for potential inclusion in our engineering stack.
• Refactor and optimize existing codebases to support modern, event-driven architectures.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to operationalize new tools and ensure they meet engineering standards.

What do I need to bring with me?

• 5+years' experience in Python backend development using frameworks like Fast API, Flask, or Django, with solid software design principles (SOLID, DRY).
• Proven experience building and consuming RESTful APIs, managing authentication (OAuth/JWT), and implementing event-driven workflows.
• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) into applications. Comfortable working with AI inputs and outputs without training models directly.
• Familiarity with frameworks like Lang Chain or protocols such as MCP, or readiness to adopt them quickly.
• Practical understanding of CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and cloud-based deployment and infrastructure management.
