About the role
- 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.
Responsibilities
- Architect Agentic Pipelines: Build Python-based backend systems that utilize LLMs and AI agents to automate the discovery, parsing, and mapping of unstructured data.
- Build Self-Healing Infrastructure: Develop autonomous reliability layers that diagnose upstream failures, adapt to API schema changes, and perform real-time data validation without manual intervention.
- Optimize High-Velocity Analytics: Design and manage low-latency data flows into ClickHouse and BigQuery, ensuring our AI-driven insights are backed by high-performance OLAP architecture.
- Scale Intelligent Connectors: Create robust integrations (APIs, Streaming, S3) that leverage AI to handle diverse, non-standardized data sources at massive scale.
- Engineering Leadership: Drive best practices in AI-assisted testing and observability, mentoring the team on the intersection of traditional backend stability and modern AI capabilities.
- You will build self-healing pipelines and agentic workflows that allow our platform to autonomously adapt to complex, shifting data landscapes.
