Senior Backend Engineer Build AI Agents

ABOUT THE ROLE Salesforge is redefining the sales tech landscape by building autonomous AI agents that discover, qualify, and engage prospects without human intervention. As a Senior Backend Engineer focused on AI Agent development, you will be at the heart of our mission to deliver a next‑generation platform that empowers sales teams to close deals faster and with greater precision. You will work closely with data scientists, product managers, and front‑end engineers to translate complex machine‑learning models into scalable, production‑grade services that run reliably at scale. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Design, implement, and maintain high‑performance backend services that host and orchestrate AI agents across multiple channels. - Collaborate with data science teams to deploy, monitor, and continuously improve large‑scale language‑model pipelines, ensuring low latency and high throughput. - Build robust APIs and event‑driven architectures that integrate with CRM systems, email providers, and communication platforms. - Lead the migration of legacy monolithic components to a microservices ecosystem, leveraging container orchestration and serverless patterns where appropriate. - Champion best practices in observability, automated testing, and CI/CD, driving a culture of reliability and rapid iteration. - Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and shape the technical roadmap for AI‑driven sales automation. WHAT YOU'LL NEED - 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong background in backend development for AI or data‑intensive applications. - Proficiency in Go, Rust, or Python, and experience building distributed systems that handle millions of events per day. - Deep knowledge of machine‑learning deployment frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow Serving, TorchServe, or custom inference engines) and familiarity with large‑language‑model APIs. - Hands‑on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Pulumi). - Strong grasp of asynchronous programming, message queues, and event‑driven architecture patterns. - Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders and to collaborate effectively in a cross‑functional team.
