Junior Mid Backend Engineer AI Focus

AI is moving fast. Most teams know it’s powerful — but very few know how to actually use it effectively.

We’re looking for someone who can build real systems with AI — not just use tools.

This role is for developers who enjoy solving problems, building backend logic, and using AI as a multiplier, not a dependency.

Location: Fully Remote

Your Mission: Day to Day Responsibilities

You’ll work on building AI-powered systems that solve real business problems — combining code, APIs, and AI tools to create reliable, scalable solutions.

Build and deploy AI-powered workflows and backend systems

Design solutions that combine APIs, scripts, and AI agents

Work with internal teams to understand problems and turn them into technical solutions

Prototype quickly — but also improve and harden systems over time

Optimize solutions (e.g., reduce token usage, improve performance)

Debug and adapt systems when things don’t work as expected

Document your work and explain your thinking clearly

Your Toolbox: Skills to be Successful

Solid programming fundamentals (Python preferred)

Comfortable working with APIs and building integrations

Ability to build solutions without relying entirely on AI tools

Strong problem-solving skills — you can break down and reason through problems

Clear communication — you can explain what you built and why

Curiosity and ownership — you like figuring things out, not just following instructions

Strong signals (highly valued)

Experience building backend systems, scripts, or APIs

Projects where you combined code + AI (not just prompting tools)

Understanding of how systems work under the hood (not just using them)

Experience debugging or improving existing systems

Nice to have (but not the focus)

Experience with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, etc.)

Exposure to automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n)

Data pipelines, scraping, or workflow automation

Your Perks: What's in it for you

Work on real systems used by operating businesses

Learn how to combine software engineering + AI in production

High ownership — your work ships fast and matters

Mentorship from experienced developers

Fully remote
