🚀 About OrbitronAI

OrbitronAI is on a mission to turn large language model magic into production-grade agentic systems and workflows that solve real problems for the world’s largest enterprises.

We’ve recently raised $10 million in seed funding 💰 and are scaling fast across Dubai, Bengaluru, and Saudi Arabia.

👥 The Team Behind OrbitronAI

Founded by an exceptional leadership team of:

• Former EY Partners
• Ex-CTOs and Heads of Engineering from successful Series B+ startups

The founding team brings together seasoned business, product and engineering leaders who have built and scaled organizations and led enterprise projects valued at over $1 billion.

• Battle-Tested Leadership → Learn and grow with seasoned leaders who bring deep industry expertise and zero ego.
• Cutting Edge Stack → Work with GenAI frontier models, Java, Python, Go, TypeScript, GCP & edge compute, Vector DBs, DAG engines.

🧬 Our Cultural DNA

• Hustle → Move with urgency, bias for action, celebrate shipping.
• Ownership & Commitment → Act like a founder — your decisions shape the company.
• Founder’s Mindset → Challenge ideas, not people. Seek truth, not consensus.
• Continuous Learning → No legacy thinking; we invest in upskilling and sponsor courses & conferences.
• Pride in Craft → Pixel-perfect UIs, rock-solid infra, clean code. If it has your name on it, make it remarkable.
• No-Ego Zone → Brilliant ≠ arrogant. We win together by being kind, direct, and respectful.

Why This Role

We’re building the next generation of agentic platforms and solutions — AI systems that plan, reason, and act in enterprise environments. While the AI engineers are building the brains, you’ll architect the nervous system: the APIs, infrastructure, and backend intelligence that make it all production-grade.

As our Staff Backend Engineer, you’ll be working shoulder to shoulder with AI engineers, product designers, and founders to ship systems that are modular, scalable, and battle-tested — all while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with autonomous agents.

Bonus: You’ll work in an environment where using AI tools to boost your own efficiency is expected, not optional.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and scale backend systems that power our AI orchestration engine — including API layers, state management, async job queues, task planners, and more.
• Collaborate with AI engineers to integrate LLM-based agents, RAG pipelines, vector stores, and multi-agent orchestration tools into a robust backend architecture.
• Build platform capabilities such as:
  • Agent identity management and secure credentials
  • Agent task routing and lifecycle management (e.g. using Temporal)
  • Modular plugin and tool-execution infrastructure
• Own the API and service architecture used by front-end apps, third-party APIs, and clients.
• Optimize for performance, observability, and reliability — your work will run thousands of real-world agent workflows every day.
• Champion clean code, test automation, CI/CD, and documentation across the team.
• Contribute to platform-level decisions: event streaming, agent memory persistence, auth layers, deployment pipelines, cloud infra, etc.
• Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, and raise the bar across engineering quality and speed.

What You Bring 

• 5+ years of experience as a backend engineer with a proven track record of designing scalable systems in fast-paced environments.
• Expert in Java — and confident working with microservices, serverless functions, etc.
• Experience building distributed systems with tools like PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, REST APIs, etc.
• Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration engines like Temporal, or equivalent — and building resilient async pipelines.
• Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures (GCP), containers (Docker), and infra-as-code (Terraform).
• A builder’s mindset — you thrive in 0-to-1 environments and care about impact.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills. You’re comfortable working cross-functionally with AI teams, design, and product leadership.

Perks & Benefits

• Top‑Tier Compensation & stock options with substantial potential upside.
• Latest MacBook Pros + 4K monitors
• Paid AI tool & cloud credits to experiment freely
• Premium health, wellness, and learning budgets
• A culture celebrating every victory.
• Continuous learning and skill development opportunities.
• Flexible PTO and work hours.
