About the role

We're looking for Backend AI Engineers to design, build, and own the core AI infrastructure and services that power Nexxa's products in production. Where our Forward Deployed Engineers embed with customers to deliver solutions on the ground, this role builds the systems that make those solutions possible at scale: model-serving pipelines, inference and orchestration layers, data pipelines, and the APIs and microservices that connect Generative AI, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning models to real enterprise...

What they're looking for

  • 4–8+ years of experience in backend software engineering, ML/platform engineering, or similar roles
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript/Node.js (our primary backend language), with strong API and microservice design skills. Working proficiency in Python is a plus for ML/model integration work
  • Hands-on experience building and operating production backend systems at scale — distributed systems, databases, message queues
  • Experience integrating ML or Generative AI models (LLMs, multimodal models) into backend services — inference, orchestration, and evaluation
  • Solid understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Experience designing and operating data pipelines (batch and/or streaming) across structured and unstructured data
