What You Will Do

• Design & scale async services: Build high-throughput REST/WebSocket APIs in Python 3.11+ (FastAPI) or .NET/C#, using DI, type hints, and clean vertical-slice patterns.
• Build agentic systems: Develop multi-agent workflows (handoff, sequential, concurrent) using Semantic Kernel/Autogen or LangChain/LangGraph; ship structured outputs and tool-calling.
• Build MCP Servers for high throughput APIs
• Implement RAG : Production RAG using Azure AI Search or a vector DB (pgvector/Qdrant/Chroma).
• Provider-agnostic LLM layer: Integrate multiple providers with a gateway (e.g., LiteLLM) for A/B, fallback, streaming, and cost/latency budgets.
• Data & schema hygiene: Model with SQL Model/SQL Alchemy 2, manage Alembic migrations, and tune Postgres for highly concurrent async workloads.
• CI/CD & reliability: Own pipelines (Bitbucket/Jenkins/GitHub Actions): lint, type-check, test, containerize (Docker/Poetry), blue/green or canary deploys.
• Observability & guardrails: Instrument with Open Telemetry and Lang fuse for traces, cost, and p95; add dashboards/alerts and safe defaults.
  
  
  

The must-haves

• 5+ years building production backends; 2+ years with FastAPI or .NET/C# (or comparable async stack).
• Hands-on agent frameworks: Semantic Kernel and/or LangChain/LangGraph in production.
• RAG pipeline shipped to prod, with measurable latency/quality.
• Postgres depth: SQLModel/SQLAlchemy 2 + Alembic migrations; performance tuning.
• CI/CD ownership: build → scan → test → deploy; Docker fluency; Poetry/venv hygiene.
• Strong problem-solving: decomposes ambiguous problems, proposes trade-offs, profiles bottlenecks, and improves p95 and $/req with evidence.
• Remote readiness: clear written/spoken communication; comfortable with 8:30 AM–12:30 PM ET overlap.
  
  
  

Nice to have

• Queues/streaming (RabbitMQ, Kafka, Azure Service Bus).
• Langfuse + OpenTelemetry in production; cost governance for LLMs.
• LiteLLM (LLM gateway) config/routing; providers mix-and-match.
• OpenAI Assistants/Agents SDK, MCP servers/clients exposure.
