About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Backend Engineer to join a new, high-impact team focused on building AI-integrated features within our Jira-based testing product suite. These roles involve significant autonomy, technical ownership, and collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders.

The engineers will work closely with the Data & AI practice leads and report directly to the Product Lead to drive initiatives across three primary areas : MCP server integration, Rovo AI feature development, and Teamwork Graph synchronization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with product and AI teams to define technical approaches and requirements.
  • Own feature development from concept through deployment in a dynamic, discovery-heavy environment.
  • Develop and maintain high-quality backend code, APIs, and integration logic.
  • Participate in discovery, backlog planning, and defining MVPs with limited requirements.
  • Contribute to documentation and share knowledge with stakeholders.

Must Have

  • 8+ years of backend development experience.
  • Strong proficiency in Java and backend API design.
  • Solid understanding of AWS services (e.g., queues, events, microservices).
  • Experience working with REST APIs , microservices architecture, and event-driven systems.
  • Familiarity with Jira or Atlassian app ecosystem (bonus).
  • Basic to intermediate understanding of AI concepts , including prompt engineering and API interaction with LLMs.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and communicate effectively in a remote, cross-functional environment.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and contributing to discovery and roadmap shaping.

    • Nice to Have

  • Experience integrating with Atlassian Rovo or Teamwork Graph.
  • Background in AI product development or familiarity with GenAI APIs.
  • Knowledge of open-source AI frameworks and prompt optimization.
  • Experience contributing to shared infrastructure projects (e.g., MCP servers).
  • Team Structure & Dynamics
  • You will be part of a newly formed team reporting directly to the Product Lead.
  • Collaboration with PMs and AI leads will be frequent, but you’ll have significant independence.
  • Other product teams operate in India, but this team will primarily collaborate with Europe and U.S.-based stakeholders.
  • Expect limited guidance on day-to-day tasks — this is a high-trust, self-directed environment.
