Software/AI Engineer

As a Senior Software & AI Engineer at Astrafy, you will be a technical leader in designing and building the next generation of AI-powered applications for our customers. This role is perfect for a seasoned software engineer or architect with a deep expertise in building robust, scalable systems, who is looking to apply their skills to the rapidly evolving field of Generative AI.

You will bridge the gap between traditional software architecture and applied AI, architecting solutions that leverage cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI services through APIs. Your mission is to build production-grade, reliable, and scalable software that has AI at its core.

Your responsibilities

• Lead the architectural design of complex, AI-driven software solutions, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and secure.
• Develop and integrate AI capabilities into applications by interfacing with third-party AI services and APIs (e.g., Google Cloud Vertex AI).
• Own the end-to-end software development lifecycle, from translating client needs into technical specifications to implementation, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
• Champion software engineering best practices, driving code quality, implementing robust testing strategies, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Mentor and guide other engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and knowledge sharing.
• Stay at the forefront of AI and cloud technologies to identify opportunities for innovation and drive technical strategy.

Must have

• Extensive professional experience in software engineering, with a proven track record of shipping production-grade applications.
• Strong expertise in software architecture, including microservices, API design, and system design patterns.
• Advanced proficiency in Python and its ecosystem for application development.
• Deep experience with at least one major cloud platform (GCP, AWS, Azure), with Google Cloud experience being a strong plus.
• A demonstrated passion for artificial intelligence and a strong desire to transition your career into the GenAI space.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate technical ambiguity.
• Fluency in English and strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience integrating with Generative AI APIs, whether directly or using frameworks like ADK, LangChain, etc.
• Understanding of AI agent concepts, including tool calling, MCP, and skills.
• Experience with vector databases and search technologies (e.g., Vertex AI Vector Search, Pinecone, AlloyDB Omni).
• Familiarity with MLOps principles (e.g., CI/CD for AI, model monitoring, and observability).
• Experience in a client-facing or consulting role.

We believe the strongest AI solutions are built on world-class software engineering. If you are a passionate software expert eager to build the future of AI applications, we encourage you to apply, even if you haven't ticked every box in the "nice-to-have" section.
