About this role
Backend Engineer, AI
Role
As a Backend Engineer, AI, you own the inference and orchestration layer that powers every AI interaction in the product. Your work sits between models and users, where latency, correctness, reliability, and cost directly impact real-world experience.
You will build and operate production systems that turn model capability into fast, stable, observable APIs used across mobile and desktop clients.
Focus
- Build and operate backend systems that serve AI-powered features in production.
- Design inference pipelines, orchestration layers, and service boundaries around models.
- Own production concerns: monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response.
- Optimize latency and throughput across inference, caching, batching, and streaming.
Ideal Experiences
- Strong backend engineering fundamentals in production environments.
- Experience running high-throughput, low-latency services.
- Familiarity with AI inference patterns (LLMs, embeddings, multimodal).
- Comfortable debugging distributed systems under load.
- Bias toward shipping and learning from production behavior.
Outcomes
- Backend systems run reliably at scale, handling production AI traffic with low latency and high throughput.
- APIs are stable, clear, and support seamless integration with frontend and ML systems.
- Production incidents are quickly detected, diagnosed, and resolved, minimizing user impact.
- Iterative improvements based on real usage continuously increase system performance and reliability.
Tech Stack
- Python
- NodeJs
- Pytorch
- OpenAI / Anthropic / open-source LLMs
- SQl & noSQL
- Kubernetes
- Docker

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Cygnify, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
