TL;DR · Principal AI-Native Software Engineer

As a Principal Engineer in our AI-Native Software Engineering team, you will collaborate closely with business stakeholders to transform abstract ideas into robust, scalable solutions using Python and cutting-edge AI technologies. Your daily tasks include designing intelligent workflows with LLMs, LangGraph, MCP, and multi-agent systems, while also integrating backend services, APIs, databases, and vector stores into seamless end-to-end applications. You will leverage frameworks like FastAPI, Flask, or Django to build AI-powered applications and employ AI coding assistants for efficient development practices. Essential skills include deep experience with fullstack Python development, REST API design, prompt engineering, session management, and cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. This role demands a strong foundation in secure, scalable software design and the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

What you'll do

  • Design and orchestrate intelligent workflows using LLMs, LangGraph, MCP, and multi-agent systems.
  • Develop and optimize prompts, context strategies, session memory, retrieval pipelines, and vector-based search to enhance agent performance.
  • Build AI-powered applications in Python using frameworks like FastAPI, Flask, or Django.
  • Integrate backend services, APIs, databases, vector stores, third-party platforms, and ML systems into robust end-to-end solutions.
  • Implement testing, monitoring, evaluation, logging, and CI/CD practices to ensure system reliability and performance.

What we're looking for

  • Strong experience in fullstack Python development with frameworks like FastAPI, Flask, or Django.
  • Hands-on expertise with LLMs, prompt engineering, and multi-agent systems.
  • Experience designing REST APIs and integrating backend services across SQL and NoSQL databases.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Deep practical use of AI tools in software development to improve speed and quality.
  • Expertise in Docker, CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, and production deployment practices.
  • Strong foundation in secure, scalable, and maintainable software design.
