Company Description:

Mechanized AI modernizes legacy systems into secure, scalable, production-grade platforms. We partner with enterprises to deliver AI-driven products that meet performance, reliability, and cost targets. We value engineers who solve real customer problems and own outcomes end-to-end.

 

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Backend Engineer to build and operate AI products across AWS/Azure/Google Cloud Platform using Python Flask and containerized services on ECS. Your mandate: make things work endtoend, quickly from API to DB to network prioritizing throughput and latency in practice over ceremony.

 

Key Responsibilities (debuggingfirst, e2e outcomes):

  • Own e2e flows: API auth service queue/cache DB network deployment; deliver working software fast.
  • Debug quickly: isolate problems across app, DB, infra, and network layers; produce clear RCAs and durable fixes.
  • Spinup speed (TTFD): bootstrap a new Flask on ECS service with CI/CD, secrets, logs, metrics, health checks, and runbook within 1 business day.
  • Golden signals & SRE hygiene: define and track MTTD 15 min, MTTR 2 hrs (Sev2), alert routing, and error budgets; prevent regression with tests and deployment guards.
  • Networking you can trust: VPC/subnets/NACLs/SGs, ALB/NLB listeners/target groups/health checks, Route 53/DNS, TLS/mTLS, NAT/VPC endpoints/PrivateLink, ECS awsvpc port mappings.
  • Performance in practice: reduce tail latency (p95/p99), eliminate headofline blocking; tune queries, caching, connection pools, and gunicorn worker models.
  • Observability for debugging: highsignal logs, correlation IDs, metrics, and traces to cut MTTR; dashboards and actionable alerts.
  • Ship & operate: IaC (Pulumi/Terraform), CI/CD (AWS CodePipeline or equivalents), safe rollouts/rollbacks; oncall with runbooks and post
