The role

The company is hiring a Staff Backend Engineer for a new team building an AI-native data context system, which gives AI agents governed access to enterprise data and definitions. Remote, for candidates in the US or Canada, excluding Quebec residents.

What you will do

  • Design and operate the first services for context ingestion, indexing, retrieval orchestration and API access
  • Build the architecture for a multi-tenant SaaS: tenant isolation, usage tracking, quotas, audit logs and background jobs
  • Build APIs that let AI agents, MCP tools and CLIs retrieve context with provenance and confidence signals
  • Balance fast experimentation with long-term reliability as the project moves from prototype to production
  • Instrument services with metrics, logs, traces and alerts
  • Help set storage choices, API contracts and deployment patterns

What they ask for

  • Solid experience building production-grade software systems
  • Practical familiarity with AI technologies and frameworks, including LLMs and prompt engineering
  • Comfort releasing prototypes, collecting feedback and iterating
  • Ability to handle ambiguity and define scope when things are loosely defined
  • Good communication across teams
  • Based in the US or Canada (not Quebec)

What they offer

  • Fully remote role
