Job description

Role Overview

We are looking for a highly capable Backend Lead to architect, build, and scale our backend systems powering AI-driven products. You will design robust backend architectures, lead the engineering team, drive technical direction, and ensure our APIs, services, and infrastructure are optimized for high-performance AI workloads.

Key Roles

  • Architect and develop scalable backend systems using Django, Fast API, microservices, and domain-driven design principles.
  • Lead the planning, designing, and implementation of RESTful APIs and backend services used by internal and external applications.
  • Oversee backend integrations for AI model inference, job orchestration, async processing, and high-load GPU-backed services.
  • Manage data storage solutions across Postgre SQL, Mongo DB, Redis, and implement caching and pub / sub patterns.
  • Build reliable asynchronous task systems using Celery, Redis queues, Rabbit MQ, or equivalent.
  • Lead, mentor, and support the backend engineering team—code reviews, technical guidance, architecture decisions, and delivery planning.
  • Collaborate with ML, Dev Ops, and product teams to ensure smooth end-to-end delivery of AI features.

Responsibilities

  • Drive backend architectural decisions, enforce coding standards, and ensure best practices in security, performance, and reliability.
  • Develop scalable backend solutions for model serving, heavy computation pipelines, and async job execution.
  • Optimize API performance, caching layers, database schemas, and background tasks.
  • Own sprint planning, task allocation, and overall backend team productivity.
  • Maintain CI / CD workflows, participate in debugging sessions, and guide the team in troubleshooting complex backend issues.
  • Document architectural designs, API specifications, and backend workflows.
  • Ensure backend systems are production-ready, with proper logging, monitoring, and fault tolerance.
  • Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • 4–7+ years of backend development experience, including system design and team leadership.
  • Strong proficiency in Django, Fast API, Python, and modern API development.
  • Hands-on experience with Postgre SQL, Mongo DB, Redis, and caching strategies.
  • Strong knowledge of Celery or similar asynchronous task queues.
  • Experience working with AI / ML model-serving backends is a strong plus (GPU workloads, async inference, batching, streaming, Web Socket APIs).
  • Understanding of backend scalability, distributed systems, and microservice architecture.
  • Experience mentoring engineers, conducting reviews, and managing team delivery.
  • Note - We also accept International Applicants
