At Synagi, we are pushing the frontier of distributed and decentralised AI agents. Our research spans vector-driven retrieval systems, agentic swarms, and resource-efficient multi-agent architectures—all with a sharp focus on real-world performance and human-in-the-loop alignment. We explore scalable, context-aware multi-agent designs that outperform monolithic approaches and keep compute costs in check. Role

As our Lead Backend & Cloud Engineer you will architect and own the entire high-throughput backend that powers Synagi's agent swarms. You'll write production-grade

Python

services that sustain tens-of-thousands of concurrent HTTP requests, expose clean gRPC/WebSocket/REST APIs, and keep everything shipping through automated CI/CD on Kubernetes. Your work is the foundation on which future research agents, and ultimately Synagi's vision of synergetic general intelligence will run. Core Responsibilities

Design, build, and operate

low-latency, scalable backend services

in Python (e.g., FastAPI, aiohttp) that crawl the web, orchestrate agents, and stream data at high QPS. Implement

gRPC, WebSocket, and REST

endpoints for internal and public consumption. Own

containerisation (Docker) and Kubernetes

deployments, including GitHub Actions–driven CI/CD pipelines and Helm/Terraform automation. Instrument everything with

Prometheus

metrics for performance and uptime monitoring. Collaborate with the AI Platform Engineer to integrate vector databases such as

Pinecone

into production search workflows. Must-Have Qualifications

3+ years

building high-QPS backend services in

Python , with deep knowledge of async runtimes. Proven production experience shipping

gRPC, WebSocket, and REST

APIs. Hands-on expertise with

Kubernetes, Docker, and GitHub Actions

(or similar CI/CD). Solid grasp of performance profiling, capacity planning, and incident response for distributed systems. Production experience with

Pinecone

vector database for semantic search and embedding workflows. Nice-to-Haves

Experience building

AI agents . Familiarity with

vector stores

such as Vespa or Milvus for large-scale similarity search. Interest in

WebAssembly / edge compute

to push ultra-low-latency functions closer to users. Applying

Send your resume—plus a short note (3–5 sentences) describing a production system you scaled or a performance bug you crushed—to garv.s.rawlot@gmail.com . We offer highly competitive salary, early-stage equity, and an opportunity to be the backbone of the future of Synergetic General Intelligence . Synagi is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
