Senior Backend Software Engineer - GenAI

We are looking for a Senior Backend Software Engineer with 6-8 years of experience to lead the buildout of our GenAI platform, Saga. Demand for our AI-enabled logistics product has skyrocketed beyond expectations, and we need someone who can own the architecture of production GenAI systems from scratch — not maintain existing ones. What will you be doing?

Leading the GenAI engineering effort for Saga, our AI offering built on top of TyrOS (military logistics C2 platform) Designing and shipping production RAG architectures, LLM integrations, agentic workflows, and retrieval pipelines from the ground up Owning backend system architecture — APIs, async workflows, data pipelines, observability, and reliability patterns Making architectural tradeoffs in ambiguous product environments with minimal direction Supporting deployed engineers remotely via on-call rotation Key Requirements 6-8 years of software engineering experience with significant time building production GenAI/LLM systems (RAG, agents, tool use, evals, retrieval pipelines) — not just prototypes or demos Strong backend/distributed systems depth — must be able to design and ship services, APIs, queues, storage, and data pipelines, not just prompt logic Senior-level ownership and autonomy — can take a vague problem, define the system, ship it, and iterate without heavy direction Must pass a live coding interview without AI assistance (demonstrating baseline engineering fundamentals) US citizen or Green Card holder — no visa sponsorship available (defense contractor requirement)
