At Apiphani, we are a technology-enabled managed services company on a mission to revolutionize support for enterprise workloads. As a small but rapidly expanding organization, we offer abundant opportunities for growth and learning!

We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment, as we believe that diversity of experience and thought fuels creativity and innovation. At Apiphani, we strive to create a sense of belonging where every employee feels respected, valued, and empowered.

Position : Senior Software Engineer - Agentic AI Platform

Join us in building the future of intelligent infrastructure automation through agentic AI. We are seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to design and construct the systems that drive Luumen, our AI-powered automation platform, utilized by enterprise IT and managed service providers worldwide.

This pivotal engineering role focuses on establishing the backend foundations for large-scale AI orchestration. You will engage with distributed systems merging traditional infrastructure automation with large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and intelligent agents.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Design and implement backend services to enable intelligent agent workflows and autonomous infrastructure actions.
  • Develop APIs and orchestration layers using Python and TypeScript, integrating LLMs, vector databases, and observability pipelines.
  • Build scalable systems facilitating LLM-based reasoning, retrieval, and decision-making across cloud infrastructures.
  • Integrate with AWS Bedrock and other LLM platforms to support multi-model capabilities.
  • Develop data access and semantic search layers with vector databases (e.g., pgvector, Pinecone, Qdrant).
  • Create robust monitoring, testing, and CI / CD systems ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of AI workflows.
  • Collaborate closely with product and DevOps teams to design architecture diagrams, plan deployments, and monitor system health.
  • Write clean, maintainable code with thorough documentation, prioritizing security and performance best practices.
  • Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and iterative delivery cycles to enhance product velocity and quality.

Qualifications :

  • 6+ years of backend engineering experience in production environments.
  • Proficiency in Python and TypeScript for building distributed, event-driven systems.
  • Strong grasp of AWS services (Lambda, ECS, Bedrock, S3, CloudWatch, etc.).
  • Experience designing APIs, microservices, and event pipelines interfacing with LLMs or AI models.
  • Familiarity with vector databases and concepts such as embeddings, similarity search, and retrieval-augmented generation.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or AWS CDK.
  • Understanding of SQL and schema migration workflows (PostgreSQL or similar).
  • Hands-on experience with Docker, GitHub Actions, and cloud-native CI / CD workflows.
  • Ability to diagram systems, communicate architectural decisions effectively, and work asynchronously in a distributed team.
  • Strong sense of ownership and capability to deliver in fast-paced, evolving environments.
  • Bonus Points :

  • Experience with LangChain, OpenAI, or Anthropic APIs.
  • Familiarity with agentic frameworks or AI orchestration systems.
  • Background in observability or APM tooling (e.g., Datadog, Dynatrace).
  • Prior experience developing automation or infrastructure management tools.
  • Contributions to open-source LLM or MLOps projects.
  • Interest in innovatively applying AI to real-world IT operations.
  • Why Join Apiphani?

    You'll become part of a high-achieving, globally distributed team focused on transforming enterprise infrastructure management. Every feature you develop will have a direct impact on how engineers interact with intelligent systems in production settings. This is your chance to help architect a platform that intertwines infrastructure automation, AI, and agentic reasoning. Your technical decisions will shape the future of enterprise operations.

    Base Salary : $120,000 - $160,000 USD

    Company Benefits :

  • Medical / dental / vision - 100% covered for employees, 50% for dependents.
  • Life and disability insurance - 100% covered for employees.
