Senior Backend Engineer - AI

Role Overview

We're looking for a Senior Backend Engineer for Nerve team, our AI pod. Nerve team builds the AI layer of SigNoz: Noz (observability AI teammate inside SigNoz), the SigNoz MCP server, AI SRE, and LLM/GenAI observability.

What You Will Do

You will be working with the high-caliber team in some of the below areas: Noz, AI teammate: agent orchestration, tool execution, and the APIs that stream results back into the product; SigNoz MCP server that exposes observability data to LLM agents, so any agent can query a user's logs, metrics, and traces; LLM/GenAI observability, so teams (including us) can monitor their own AI apps with OpenTelemetry.

Why It Might Be a Fit

5-8 years building backend systems in production. You'll work across both Go and Python. Strong with Go (concurrency, channels, performance) and with async Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, asyncio), and comfortable designing APIs and data models.
