Senior Back-End Engineer

You're an experienced backend engineer who's genuinely excited about AI, but feel held back. Maybe your current environment is slow to adopt new tools. Maybe innovation is talked about but not practiced. Maybe you're already using AI assistants in your personal projects and wondering why your day job feels years behind.
