Job Description
Senior Software Engineer, AI – Backend
Nexleaf Analytics
• Architect and ship AI-driven features — RAG pipelines and agentic workflows that take action across systems with human oversight where it matters. • Build the backend and infrastructure to run these reliably and at scale, across tens of thousands of IoT devices and low-connectivity environments. • Define what "good" looks like for our AI systems — holding them to real accuracy and impact standards, not demo performance. • Own large parts of the system end-to-end, from architecture to production reliability. • Work closely with product and data science to iterate fast and keep solutions aligned with product vision and real public-health needs.
Job Requirements
- Expert-level Python and backend engineering, with a track record of scalable production services.
- Proven, in-production experience with RAG (retrieval, embeddings, vector stores).
- Hands-on experience building agentic systems — multi-step, tool-using AI that takes action, not just chat.
- Strong grasp of the infrastructure to run AI in production reliably at scale (cloud, AWS/GCP).
- Demonstrated experience evaluating AI systems for accuracy and real-world impact, and iterating on results.
