Job Description
NovoEd, a fast-growing product company, is hiring a remote Senior AI Engineer to integrate advanced artificial intelligence features into its core platform. The organization focuses on delivering high value to customers through task-specific machine learning models, large language model implementations, and agentic systems that coordinate various tools for end users. The technology stack relies on a Python backend utilizing FastAPI, Gunicorn, Nginx, and Celery for background processing.
This role suits an independent problem solver with a strong production mindset and system-level thinking who can build fast, reliable, and maintainable backend systems. The successful candidate will combine backend engineering expertise with applied artificial intelligence capabilities to deploy production-grade architectures. Team members enjoy direct influence on the business competitive advantage within an agile, autonomous team environment focused on practical, real-world applications rather than pure research.
Responsibilities
- Design, create, and launch production-ready backend systems driven by artificial intelligence
- Incorporate large language models and traditional machine learning models into performant and scalable architectures
- Set up and optimize vector databases for retrieval-augmented generation pipelines and traditional machine learning queries
- Develop clean, structured, and testable Python code adhering to established best practices
- Analyze performance metrics and make optimal decisions to decrease system latency
- Construct hybrid architectures combining large language model calls with traditional machine learning
- Troubleshoot complex issues spanning the backend, artificial intelligence inference, and user interface integration
- Perform thorough development testing before handing off to quality assurance to guarantee production reliability
- Partner with product, backend, and frontend engineers to build cohesive solutions
Requirements
- Three to five or more years of professional backend engineering experience using Python, FastAPI or Flask, and background processing
- Demonstrated track record of deploying Python applications to production environments
- Comprehensive grasp of software design patterns
- Solid understanding of backend performance, parallel processing in background jobs, and multi-threading
- Proficiency in performance tuning specifically for heavy artificial intelligence models
- Applied machine learning background covering training, evaluation, and maintenance of small task-specific models
- Familiarity with large language model integration, prompt engineering, and context window optimization
- Proven capability to debug artificial intelligence behavior, determine root causes, and apply targeted corrections
- Strict testing discipline for both backend and artificial intelligence components
- Experience utilizing Celery or other major libraries for background processing
- Experience monitoring APIs and background processing while ensuring visibility and error reporting
Qualifications
- Master's Degree in a related field
- Experience with Docker
- Understanding of continuous integration and continuous deployment, deployment automation, and Kubernetes
