Job Level
About the role
- Contribute production-quality code primarily in Python and Java across services, pipelines, and infrastructure tooling.
- Actively implement the architectural patterns, systems, and integrations you design — not delegate them.
- Build and iterate on prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and production components end-to-end.
- Investigate and resolve complex production issues across distributed systems and cloud environments.
- Review and maintain code across repositories as a GitHub maintainer, enforcing architectural consistency.
- Design and implement AI-powered features, from prototyping through production deployment and monitoring.
- Architect systems that integrate LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) into product workflows, including context management, retrieval pipelines, and output validation.
- Build and maintain retrieval-augmented (RAG) and agent-based systems using modern frameworks (e.g., LangChain or equivalent).
- Design model hosting and inference patterns on AWS (e.g., Bedrock, SageMaker, Lambda-based endpoints).
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant architectural responsibilities.
- Proven track record of hands-on delivery — consistently writing and shipping production code, not just designing systems.
- Expert-level understanding of AWS (ECS, Lambda, networking, IAM, API Gateway, scaling strategies).
- Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployments.
- Proficiency in Python for systems, services, and tooling development.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and message brokers (e.g., SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ).
- Experience designing for scalability, reliability, resilience, and cost efficiency.
- Hands-on experience with APM tooling (e.g., New Relic, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc.).
- Strong API design and integration experience, with a focus on operational best practices.
- Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into applications (e.g., APIs, workflows, or internal tools).
Benefits
- Mandatory pension and severance
- 18 vacation days
- Study fund (Keren Hishtalmut)
- Lunch Stipend ( Cibus)
- Flexible or hybrid work options
