AI Infrastructure Platform Engineer (Python)
W2 Contract
Pay Rate: $55 - $65 per hour
Location: Austin, TX - Remote Role
Job Summary:
We are building the foundational platform that powers next-generation AI agents and intelligent systems at scale. This is not a model research or prompt engineering role. The focus is on designing and building highly scalable, reliable backend systems that enable agent-driven applications to operate in production environments.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Design and build scalable backend services in Python for AI and agent platforms
- Architect systems that handle high concurrency, large volumes of data, and low-latency requirements
- Build and operate microservices deployed on Kubernetes
- Design systems with reliability, fault tolerance, and observability as core principles
- Plan for horizontal scalability to support rapid growth and increasing usage
- Work on asynchronous processing, distributed workflows, and event-driven architectures
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define platform capabilities that support AI use cases
- Continuously improve system performance, reliability, and cost efficiency
Requirements and Qualifications:
- Strong proficiency in Python with experience building production-grade systems
- Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and core computer science fundamentals
- Experience designing and building distributed systems at scale
- Hands-on experience with concurrency, multithreading, or asynchronous programming
- Experience with microservices architecture and API design
- Practical experience with Kubernetes and containerized deployments
- Ability to design systems that account for failure scenarios, scaling challenges, and performance trade-offs
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with AWS or similar cloud platforms
- Familiarity with event-driven systems such as Kafka or pub/sub architectures
- Experience with caching strategies such as Redis
- Exposure to observability tools for logging, monitoring, and tracing
- Some familiarity with AI or ML systems, LLMs, or agent-based architectures
