AI Lead Developer

AI Lead (Backend Systems & Architecture)

This is not a feature-delivery role. This is an architecture, ownership, and AI systems leadership role.

At Techjays, we build production-grade AI platforms for global clients. We are looking for an AI Lead with strong backend engineering expertise—someone who can design, scale, and take complete ownership of intelligent systems end-to-end.

You will operate at the intersection of backend engineering, distributed systems, and applied AI, driving both technical direction and execution.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and scale backend systems powering AI-driven applications
• Design and implement AI workflows such as RAG pipelines, agents, and LLM integrations
• Own systems end-to-end: architecture, development, deployment, and scaling
• Build reliable, high-performance distributed systems
• Integrate and optimize LLMs (Claude, GPT, etc.) for real-world use cases
• Lead backend and AI initiatives with strong technical ownership
• Ensure performance, scalability, observability, and cost efficiency
• Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar across teams
• Collaborate with product and AI teams to build AI-native solutions

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in architecting and scaling backend systems end-to-end
• Strong expertise in Python (Django / Flask / FastAPI)
• Deep understanding of distributed systems and system design
• Hands-on experience with AWS or GCP in production environments
• Solid experience working with LLMs (Claude, GPT, etc.)
• Strong knowledge of:
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
• Vector databases (Pinecone, FAISS, Weaviate, etc.)
• Experience in building and managing microservices architectures
• Ability to lead teams, mentor engineers, and drive technical excellence
• Strong problem-solving skills with an ownership mindset

Nice to Have

• Experience building AI agents or autonomous systems
• Familiarity with real-time data systems or streaming (Kafka, etc.)
• Understanding of MLOps and AI system lifecycle
• Experience optimizing AI systems for latency, cost, and scalability

Who You Are

• You think in systems, not just features
• You take full ownership of what you build
• You are comfortable in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
• You stay updated with the latest advancements in AI and backend technologies

This role is ideal for someone who wants to lead, build, and scale AI-powered backend systems in production while driving real-world impact.
