Sr. Backend AI Engineer
Location:Cleveland, OH
Role OverviewMove beyond traditional ETL. At BrightEdge, we are rebuilding our core data infrastructure into anAI-augmented processing engine.We’relooking for a Senior Backend Engineer to architect "intelligent" systems thatdon'tjust movedata, butunderstand it. You will build self-healing pipelines and agentic workflows that allow our platform to autonomously adapt to complex, shifting data landscapes.
WhatYou’llDo
Architect Agentic Pipelines:Build Python-based backend systems that utilize LLMs and AI agents to automate the discovery, parsing, and mapping of unstructured data.
Build Self-Healing Infrastructure:Develop autonomous reliability layers that diagnose upstream failures, adapt to API schema changes, and perform real-time data validation without manual intervention.
OptimizeHigh-Velocity Analytics:Design and manage low-latency data flows intoClickHouseandBigQuery, ensuring our AI-driven insights are backed by high-performance OLAP architecture.
Scale Intelligent Connectors:Create robust integrations (APIs, Streaming, S3) thatleverageAI to handle diverse, non-standardized data sources at massive scale.
Engineering Leadership:Drive best practices in AI-assisted testing and observability, mentoring the team on the intersection of traditional backend stability and modern AI capabilities.
What You Bring
5+ years experience with Bachelor's degree in Computer science, Software Engineering
Python & AI Mastery:Deepexpertisein production-level Python. You’ve successfully integrated AI models/LLMs into backend services or data workflows.
OLAP Power User:Proven experience withClickHouse,BigQuery, or Snowflake, specifically in schema optimization and materialized views for large-scale datasets.
Distributed Systems Expertise:Strong background in cloud environments (GCP/AWS) and real-time streaming tools likeKafka, Flink, or Spark.
Adaptive Mindset:Youdon'tjust build to a spec; you build systems thatanticipateand recover from environment changes autonomously.
Product Ownership:A track recordof leading high-impact initiatives and a desire to own the "brain" of a global data platform
