About the Role

Volga Partners is looking for a skilled Software Development Engineer with strong expertise in Python backend systems and AI/LLM applications.

In this role, you will build and maintain production-grade AI-powered systems, integrating large language models into real-world workflows. You will work across backend services, orchestration layers, and data pipelines—ensuring that AI features are reliable, scalable, and performant.

This is a hands-on engineering role requiring strong problem-solving, system design, and the ability to operate in fast-evolving AI environments.

Key Responsibilities

Build and maintain backend services and internal tools in Python for AI-powered applications.

Integrate LLM APIs into production workflows, including prompt handling, response processing, validation, and retries.

Design and implement scalable REST APIs, async workflows, and background job systems.

Maintain and enhance components of a multi-language codebase (C#/C++, Python, web technologies) where applicable.

Work with structured and unstructured data to prepare inputs, transform outputs, and support downstream systems.

Develop systems for prompt management, model routing, response validation, and failure handling.

Debug complex issues across backend logic, API integrations, and distributed services.

Monitor system performance using telemetry tools and proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks.

Automate recurring workflows related to data processing, evaluation, and reporting.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn ambiguous product ideas into production-ready features.

Contribute to architecture decisions around scalability, performance, and safe use of AI systems.

Write clean, testable, and maintainable code while helping establish engineering best practices for AI systems.
