About
We are building a next-generation virtual assistant platform that enables natural and responsive voice and chat-based interactions. The platform integrates with internal and external systems to deliver seamless, real-time user experiences at scale.
Role Overview
This role involves developing robust backend services and integrating them into a scalable system architecture. You'll work on a variety of microservices that support voice and chat experiences, as well as contribute to API development, third-party system integrations, and performance optimizations.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain Python-based backend services
Build and integrate scalable APIs and microservices
Work with cross-functional teams on system design and backend workflows
Optimize backend performance using distributed technologies (e.g., caching, message queues)
Collaborate on integration with third-party platforms and services
Qualifications
5+ years of Python development experience in production environments
Strong experience building asynchronous, API-driven microservices
Proficiency with scalable backend architectures and system integration
Familiarity with distributed systems (e.g., queues, caching, search indexing)
Bonus: Experience with AI/LLM APIs or interest in learning AI-focused frameworks
What We're Looking For
Strong engineering fundamentals and problem-solving skills
Experience working in agile, cross-functional teams
Solid communication and collaboration skills
Comfort with modern development and deployment tools (e.g., containers, CI/CD)
Our Technical Environment Includes
Modern Python frameworks for asynchronous API development
Distributed systems technologies for caching, data search, and messaging
Containerized infrastructure and cloud-based CI/CD pipelines
Integration with AI and language model APIs (where relevant)
