As a Software Engineer in the Artificial Intelligence group, you will contribute to developing and optimizing the backend infrastructure that supports AI-driven solutions. You will work closely with machine learning engineers and cross-functional teams to build scalable backend services, automate deployments, and improve system performance. Your role will focus on Python-based backend development, Kubernetes operations, and DevOps best practices to ensure reliable and efficient AI model deployments.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain backend services and APIs that support AI models and intelligent assistants.
• Improve scalability and performance of AI model serving and API interactions.Ensure system reliability by implementing logging, monitoring, and alerting solutions.
• Assist in deploying AI models using Kubernetes and Docker, ensuring smooth model integration into production.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for AI applications, automating model testing and deployments.
• Work on data pipelines and optimize storage and retrieval for AI workloads.
• Work on infrastructure automation using Terraform, CloudFormation, or other Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.
• Support cloud-based deployments on AWS, GCP, or Azure, optimizing resource usage.
• Work closely with AI/ML engineers to understand infrastructure requirements for AI solutions.
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Continuously learn and improve skills in backend development, cloud technologies, and DevOps.

Requirements

• 4 years of experience in backend development using Python (preferred) or Java.
• Experience with RESTful API development, micro-services, and cloud-based architectures.
