About the Role:
We are hiring a Senior Backend Engineer with deep backend expertise and a strong interest or background in AI innovation to join our New Features Team — a compact, high-impact group dedicated to greenfield development.
In this role, you won’t just build what’s planned — you’ll lead the exploration of what’s possible. You’ll work directly with the Product Manager and a pair of senior frontend engineers to identify new opportunities for AI integration across the platform. We are looking for someone with a strategic mindset, capable of proposing ideas, developing proof of concepts, and leading initiatives that enhance existing functionality through smart automation, prediction, or optimization
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and implement backend systems and APIs for new product features and AI services.
- Independently identify areas within CADIS where AI can add value to existing workflows or user experiences.
- Design, prototype, and validate AI-driven concepts (e.g., predictive workflows, intelligent suggestions, smart automation).
- Collaborate directly with the Product Manager to shape both vision and technical execution.
- Ensure performance, scalability, and maintainability of backend systems and data pipelines.
- Work closely with frontend engineers to deliver cohesive, intelligent end-to-end features.
Projects You'll Work On
- Greenfield development of brand-new CADIS functionalities.
- Strategic AI-driven enhancements for core platform features.
- Internal R&D efforts to evaluate and deploy AI technologies, models, and tools.
- Experimental features and POCs that could scale into production.

- Strong knowledge of version control (Git) and collaborative development workflows
- Ability to independently identify, prototype, and validate AI-driven backend features
- Experience working closely with frontend teams to deliver end-to-end solutions
- Proficient in leveraging AI-powered coding and analysis tools (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate backend development, code review, and troubleshooting
- Ability to critically evaluate and integrate AI-generated code or architectural suggestions into robust backend solutions
- Experience establishing best practices for the use of AI assistants in backend development teams
Nice-to-have technical skills:
- Knowledge of event streaming platforms (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ)
- Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker)
