Job Description

We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our newly formed AI R&D pod—a small, fast-moving team dedicated to building the future of AI-native product experiences at Posh. This is a backend-focused role with a strong emphasis on systems architecture and AI implementation. You will be responsible for building the intelligent, scalable, and reliable systems that power our AI features. Your work will focus on designing and deploying sophisticated Multi-Agent Systems, moving beyond simple RAG to create truly autonomous and helpful user experiences. You’ll work closely with frontend engineers and product designers to bring cutting-edge AI tools to our platform. Expect to build robust APIs, architect data flows for evaluations and fine-tuning, and pioneer new ways to leverage AI within our existing infrastructure. This represents a unique opportunity to build the foundational backend of our AI products, with the chance to ship experimental features to a large, growing, and highly engaged user base.

Job Responsibility

  • Build and Scale AI Services: Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs for AI-powered features, writing primary production code in Python
  • Architect Multi-Agent Systems: Move beyond standard RAG to design and implement complex, hierarchical Multi-Agent Systems that can perform sophisticated, multi-step tasks
  • Implement Evaluation and Fine-Tuning: Build robust frameworks to evaluate the quality of AI systems and manage fine-tuning pipelines to continuously improve model performance
  • Own Cloud Infrastructure with IaC: Define, deploy, and manage our AI infrastructure using Terraform. You'll be responsible for scaling our container-based serverless solutions while ensuring reliability and performance
  • Optimize for Efficiency: Deeply analyze the tradeoffs between model performance, latency, and cost to make pragmatic, business-aware technical decisions when using managed AI services
  • Integrate Across the Stack: Collaborate with our core engineering teams by occasionally working in TypeScript (Node.js) to integrate AI features into our main application

Requirements

  • 3–6+ years of backend or full-stack engineering experience, with a proven track record of shipping high-quality, scalable systems in fast-paced environments
  • Deep expertise in Python and its ecosystem for web services and data processing
  • Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), a major cloud platform (e.g., GCP, AWS, Azure), and deploying containerized applications
  • A passion for shaping 0→1 products in a lean, fast-paced R&D environment where you'll help define new playbooks for AI-native experiences

Nice to have

  • Pragmatic AI/ML Exposure: Familiarity with managed AI services (e.g., Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock), working with LLMs, or building advanced AI systems is a plus. Experience with model evaluation frameworks (e.g., RAGAs, LangSmith, DeepEval) or fine-tuning is helpful but not required. The ability to think about tradeoffs between cost, latency, and performance is valuable
  • Experience with open-source agentic frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, Strands, etc) is a plus
  • Experience with MLOps, data engineering, or a background in consumer, marketplace, or event-driven platforms

What we offer

  • Health,Dental and Vision Insurance
  • Equinox Membership
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Team Events, Dinners, & Offsites, Free Event Tickets to Dope Shows
  • New MacBook
  • Daily Uber Eats Credit
  • Relocation bonuses are available for some out-of-state candidates
  • Offers Equity
