• Work with AI engineers to integrate AI/LLM services into backend workflows (API consumption, orchestration, and secure access)
• Support AI-driven features such as document intelligence and enterprise search (e.g., metadata extraction pipelines, search endpoints)
• Follow clean coding practices and contribute to code reviews and documentation

• Proven experience in Back-End Web Development and Software Development
• Strong understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts and principles
• Hands-on experience with C#, .NET / ASP.NET Core, and building backend APIs

• Ability to collaborate effectively with frontend developers and UI/UX designers
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a collaborative environment
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field

• Experience consuming AI/ML/LLM APIs and integrating them into backend services
• Familiarity with AI-powered search concepts such as embeddings and vector search (basic understanding is sufficient)
• Basic knowledge of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) workflows and document pipelines
• Awareness of security considerations when integrating AI (data privacy, access control, logging/auditing)

• Basic knowledge of authentication/authorization (e.g., JWT, roles/claims)
• Familiarity with logging and monitoring practices
