• Design and implement scalable RESTful API endpoints for the AI platform.

• Build and optimize backend services in Python (FastAPI, Django, or Flask) to handle agent lifecycle management, deployment, and monitoring.

• Contribute to secure authentication and authorization systems supporting multi-tenant architecture.

• Develop efficient data access layers and database schemas for AI agent operations.

• Implement asynchronous task processing for long-running AI workflows.

• Collaborate with IC5 engineers on backend architecture and SDK designs, contributing to technical direction while driving execution.

• Provide mentorship to IC3 engineers through code reviews, technical discussions, and best practices.

• Ensure quality and reliability through automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and adherence to security standards.

• Stay updated on modern backend and AI/agentic frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph).
