Senior Backend AI Engineer

Move beyond traditional ETL. At BrightEdge, we are rebuilding our core data infrastructure into an AI-augmented processing engine. We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to architect "intelligent" systems that don't just move data, but understand it. You will build self-healing pipelines and agentic workflows that allow our platform to autonomously adapt to complex, shifting data landscapes.

Responsibilities

Architect Python-based backend systems that utilize LLMs and AI agents to automate discovery, parsing, and mapping of unstructured data; Develop autonomous reliability layers that diagnose upstream failures, adapt to API schema changes, and perform real-time data validation without manual intervention; Design and manage low-latency data flows into ClickHouse and BigQuery, ensuring AI-driven insights are backed by high-performance OLAP architecture; Create robust integrations (APIs, Streaming, S3) that leverage AI to handle diverse, non-standardized data sources at massive scale; Drive best practices in AI-assisted testing and observability, mentoring the team on the intersection of traditional backend stability and modern AI capabilities

Requirements

5+ years experience with Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering; Deep expertise in production-level Python; Successfully integrated AI models/LLMs into backend services or data workflows; Proven experience with ClickHouse, BigQuery, or Snowflake, specifically in schema optimization and materialized views for large-scale datasets; Strong background in cloud environments (GCP/AWS) and real-time streaming tools like Kafka, Flink, or Spark; Adaptive mindset - building systems that anticipate and recover from environment changes autonomously; Track record of leading high-impact initiatives and desire to own the 'brain' of a global data platform
