  • Desenvolver e manter serviços backend escaláveis, APIs e sistemas de integração com ambientes corporativos.
  • Criar infraestrutura que habilite fluxos de trabalho autônomos e agentes confiáveis, rastreáveis e auditáveis.
  • Trabalhar com LLMs em alto nível (prompt engineering, agentes, ferramentas, orchestration frameworks).
  • Atuar como referência técnica do time, influenciando decisões arquiteturais e difundindo melhores práticas.
  • Colaborar com Product, Security, Data e demais times internos para viabilizar a adoção de soluções de IA em larga escala.

Ingredientes Que Buscamos:

  • Proficiência em linguagens como Python, Typescript/Node.js, Go ou equivalentes.
  • Conhecimento profundo em arquitetura de sistemas distribuídos, com capacidade de projetar soluções escaláveis e altamente disponíveis.
  • Experiência prática com LLMs, agentes, frameworks de orquestração de IA, RAG, vetores e embeddings.
  • Vivência no desenvolvimento de APIs, integrações complexas e arquiteturas escaláveis.
  • Familiaridade avançada com permissionamento, autenticação, OAuth, segurança e controle de acesso.
  • Experiência com ferramentas low-code/no-code ou automação (ex.: Retool, n8n, Zapier, Make) ou criação de plataformas equivalentes.
  • Experiência com cloud (GCP/AWS/Azure) e proxies/gateways para serviços de IA (OpenAI, Gemini, etc.).
  • Capacidade sólida de atuar em problemas ambíguos e altamente técnicos.

Para Realçar o Sabor:

  • Experiência construindo plataformas internas para capacitar times.
  • Contribuições em projetos de agentes autônomos, MCPs ou frameworks LLM-based.
