AI and Engineering Content Velocity

Responsibilities:

· Agentic AI Development : Expand our core AI harnesses and pipelines. Integrate and evaluate state-of-the-art LLMs, Vision-Language Models (VLMs), and specialized APIs to autonomously manipulate various asset formats.

· Infrastructure & DevOps : Oversee and improve our Infrastructure as Code across all environments. Maintain and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Docker/Container Registry deployments).

· Mentorship & Code Quality : Set the standard for engineering excellence. Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, conduct rigorous architectural reviews, and maintain high standards for testing and AI evals.

· Cross-Stack Contribution : While heavily focused on backend and AI orchestration, Applies extensive knowledge of theories, practices and design matters.

· Service Development : Build and maintain scalable backend microservices using Python and FastAPI, deployed as varying serverless infrastructure.

· AI Tooling & Integrations : Develop tools, constraints (guardrails), and deterministic functions that our AI agents use to edit visual assets. Integrate models on owned infrastructure for inference and integrate third-party AI endpoints.

· Event-Driven Architecture : Implement complex distributed workflows for high-volume job orchestration and dispatching (e.g. EventBridge, queues, DynamoDB streams).

· Infrastructure as Code : Terraform contributions to provision and mange cloud resources safely and effectively across multiple environments.

· Full-Stack Contribution : Contribute to our modern backend orchestration or modern web frontends.

· Testing & CI/CD : Write robust unit and end-to-end tests to ensure the stability of both standard APIs and AI agent outputs, ensuring smooth deployments.

QUALIFICATIONS/REQUIREMENTS

· Experience : 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with at least 2+ years in a technical leadership or principal-level capacity.

· AI/ML Integration : Proven experience building agentic workflows, prompt engineering, integrating LLMs/VLMs into production systems, and utilizing AI evaluation frameworks.

· Cloud & Infrastructure : Deep, hands-on expertise with AWS, Azure, and/or GCP serverless architectures.

· Backend Engineering : Expert-level Python proficiency. Experience building high-throughput APIs using FastAPI, managing database migrations, and handling async/multiprocessing workflows.

· DevOps & SDLC : Knowledge of Terraform IaC and CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GHA).

· Domain Knowledge : Familiarity with image and video processing libraries. Visual rendering workflows is highly desirable.

· Architecture : Strong experience with the C4 model and other traditional design artifacts.
