AI Backend Engineer
TTEC
• Build and operate backend systems that serve AI-powered insurance workflows in production. • Design and implement AI orchestration layers that connect models, APIs, workflows, and business logic. • Build inference pipelines for LLM-based and AI-assisted automation systems. • Optimize latency, throughput, and cost across AI services (caching, batching, streaming, routing). • Design stable service boundaries between backend systems, ML components, and product APIs. • Implement observability: logging, metrics, tracing, alerting, and incident response workflows. • Debug production issues across distributed AI systems and resolve root causes. • Collaborate closely with frontend, product, operations, and ML teams to ship end-to-end features. • Continuously improve system reliability, scalability, and performance.
