- Serve Node.js and/or Apache-backed services as part of a broader microservices ecosystem.
- Ensure secure, scalable, and maintainable architecture across all layers of the stack.
- Proactively identify technical debt, architectural gaps, and new workstreams, owning them through to completion.
- Implement observability and monitoring instrumentation to ensure operational health of owned services.
Technical Skills:
- Expert-level Python with experience writing clean, production-ready, type-safe code.
- Hands-on experience with FastAPI and Pydantic for building and maintaining microservices.

- Experience working on or integrating with AI applications, including familiarity with LLM-powered services.
- Experience with LangChain and/or LangGraph for building or integrating agentic workflows.
- Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Elasticsearch, Pinecone, Weaviate) and RAG patterns.
