Responsibilities
- Build production services using Python, FastAPI and Pydantic models.
- Develop APIs and backend workflows that support AI-enabled document and contract intelligence.
- Work with PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy and Alembic to model, migrate and operate reliable data layers.
- Build and maintain asynchronous job systems, including queue processing, retries, idempotency, dead-letter handling, cancellation, progress tracking and failure recovery.
- Use Redis for caching, transient state, job status and coordination, with sensible reliability patterns such as timeouts, circuit breakers and graceful degradation.
- Build React and TypeScript interfaces that consume backend services cleanly and provide users with transparent job states, useful error handling and polished interaction patterns.
- Use TanStack Query for server state, including query key factories, cache invalidation, optimistic updates and polling patterns for long-running AI jobs.
- Support document-heavy workflows, including ingestion, retrieval, structured extraction, redlining, rich text editing and AI-assisted review.
- Build features that respect enterprise security expectations, including authentication, authorisation, secure data handling and auditability.
- Operate within Azure-based environments, including services such as Blob Storage, Key Vault, managed databases, Redis and containerised deployments.
- Instrument production systems using Application Insights or equivalent observability tooling.
- Use AI coding tools to accelerate implementation, debugging, refactoring, testing and documentation, while maintaining high code quality.
- Improve developer experience by reducing boilerplate, improving test coverage, simplifying local setup and documenting repeatable patterns.
- Move fluidly between infrastructure and product delivery when needed.
