Backend Engineer
Veda Labs.An AI platform for retailers and other businesses to navigate through the COVID Era with it's superior technology.
• Design and build scalable backend systems powering Veda’s API and internal services • Own projects end-to-end — from scoping and design to implementation, testing, and production delivery • Collaborate with product and infrastructure teams to turn technical debt into modern, maintainable, and highly available systems • Write clean, well-tested code, and maintain strong CI/CD hygiene • Deploy, monitor, and scale services in production using modern cloud tooling (AWS, GCP, or similar) • Contribute to system design discussions covering performance, reliability, and data architecture • Participate in on-call rotations and incident response for production systems • Continuously identify and drive improvements in system reliability, observability, and performance
• You will build the backend systems that make Alaro’s product reliable, extensible, and safe to use in real legal work. • These systems power everything lawyers see and trust: documents, matters, permissions, agent actions, and the workflows that tie them together. • At a high level, we are building a Cursor-like environment for legal work, where lawyers collaborate with agents that can search, reason, and act on documents, while remaining auditable, reversible, and correct. • This is a product-first backend engineering role. To succeed, you’ll need to understand the full product surface and agent behavior, so you can design systems that evolve quickly without breaking under real-world usage. • Core product APIs: design and evolve the APIs that power the lawyer dashboard: matters, documents, chats, permissions, and email integration, so legal work stays coherent across tools, collaborators, and time. • Data models and pipelines: define and maintain data structures that support evolving product and agent workflows, including document state, provenance, permissions, and history. You’ll think carefully about boundaries, migrations, and long-term extensibility. • Agent-facing backend surfaces: build the primitives that let agents safely operate in the system: scoped permissions, state transitions, execution boundaries, and backend objects that unlock new tools and workflows without sacrificing control. • Infrastructure and reliability: own backend systems in production. Contribute to deployments, observability, performance, and cost awareness, while keeping the focus on product reliability rather than infrastructure for its own sake.
