Role Description We are looking for a Senior AI Developer & Cloud Architect to design, build, and own the AI-powered compliance scraping engine and cloud infrastructure layer for an internal platform monitoring up to 70,000 credit card offer pages per month. This is a hands-on, sole-builder contractor role that sits at the intersection of cloud architecture, AI engineering, and large-scale web scraping, with a clear mandate: deliver a production-grade system that detects compliance violations across issuer offer pages with high accuracy and controlled token costs. You will do this by: - Architecting the AWS environment from the ground up. - Building a containerized worker fleet that integrates Playwright rendering with Claude-powered contextual analysis. - Defining clean API contracts with the internal team that owns the Laravel control panel. This is not a managed-PaaS or prototype role. You will be accountable for end-to-end delivery — architecture, build, documentation, and knowledge transfer — owning the full scraping and AI pipeline from URL intake through compliance findings, screenshot evidence, and results delivery back to the portal. Responsibilities - Design and configure the production AWS environment (ECS/Fargate, SQS, API Gateway, RDS PostgreSQL, S3, IAM, CloudWatch) using infrastructure as code (Terraform or CDK). - Build a stateless, containerized worker fleet that integrates Playwright-based page rendering, structured rule evaluation, and Claude API analysis. - Implement token optimization strategies across the LLM pipeline — prompt engineering, context pruning, caching, model selection, and batching — with measurable cost outcomes. - Define and document API contracts, job payload schemas, and database write patterns with the internal Laravel portal team to enable parallel development. - Build third-party API ingestion and field-level diff-detection logic that automatically adjusts monitoring rules when product data changes. - Handle modern web rendering challenges at scale: JavaScript-heavy SPAs, interstitials, cookie consent overlays, dynamic content, viewport switching, and full-page screenshot capture. - Evaluate when LLM analysis is the correct tool versus a classifier or rules-based approach, and design the two-stage rule-engine-plus-AI pipeline accordingly. - Build and maintain a unit test suite covering all modules and APIs to ensure uptime and proper functionality. - Document every architecture decision, configuration, API contract, and operational procedure continuously — not as a final-week deliverable. - Deliver a complete runbook and knowledge transfer to the internal team at engagement close. - Operate independently end-to-end while coordinating closely with the internal portal team and reporting directly to the Senior Director, surfacing risks and trade-offs early. Requirements - Production backend Python experience, including async patterns, type hints, packaging, and testing. - Direct production experience designing and configuring AWS ECS/Fargate, SQS, API Gateway, RDS (PostgreSQL), S3, IAM, and CloudWatch, with infrastructure as code (Terraform or CDK). - Real shipped systems calling the Anthropic Claude API in production, with demonstrated experience in prompt design, structured output, error handling, and cost trade-offs. - Demonstrated track record reducing token spend on production LLM workloads, with specific before/after results you can walk through. - Working knowledge of other LLM providers sufficient to recommend cheaper or better alternatives for specific tasks. - Production Playwright experience at scale, including headless Chromium failure modes, network idle detection, dynamic content handling, viewport switching, and screenshot strategy. Selenium or Puppeteer experience does not substitute. - Machine learning fundamentals sufficient to evaluate when LLM analysis is the right tool versus a classifier or rules-based approach, and to reason about evaluation and false-positive rates. - Docker and containerization experience, including image optimization, ECR, and stateless worker design. - Ability to operate fully independently — no engineering team underneath you — while documenting continuously and coordinating cleanly with an internal team. Nice to Have - Experience with API ingestion and field-level diff-detection systems. - Laravel or PHP familiarity, enough to coordinate cleanly on API contracts with the portal team. - SOC 2 Type II compliance experience. - Salesforce API integration experience. - Regulated-industry experience (financial services, healthcare, or insurance). Benefits - The expected hourly range for this position is $80/hr - 100/hr. This hourly range is an estimate, and the actual hourly rate may vary based on the Company’s compensation practices. - The hourly rate may be adjusted based on applicant's geographic location. - This position is eligible to participate in the Company’s standard employee benefits programs, which currently include health care benefits.
