Senior AI Platform Engineer (Python + AWS)

About this role

0825 - 294LUL | Senior AI Platform Engineer (Python + AWS)
Remote | LATAM | Full-Time
One of TalentCross's most innovative and high-impact clients is hiring a Senior AI Platform Engineer to help build the backbone of their AI infrastructure. This is a rare opportunity to work with a fast-scaling SaaS company that's transforming a legacy industry with cutting-edge technology and a global-first mindset.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll lead the design and delivery of a mission-critical AI platform layer that powers all products across the company. This includes:

• Building cloud-native APIs in Python (FastAPI) on AWS (API Gateway, Lambda, ECS Fargate)

• Defining OpenAPI 3.1 specs and generating SDKs (PHP, JS) for seamless integration

• Optimizing performance with caching, idempotency, rate limiting, and request deduplication

• Engineering fault-tolerant systems with circuit breakers and policy-based routing

• Implementing observability dashboards using CloudWatch and Datadog

• Orchestrating async jobs via SQS, Step Functions, and EventBridge

• Collaborating with product teams to ensure smooth developer experience

• Driving cost and model quality optimization initiatives

What You Bring

• 5+ years backend development experience

• 3+ years with Python (FastAPI preferred), async programming, and streaming

• 2+ years working with distributed/cloud-native systems

• Strong AWS expertise: Lambda, ECS, SQS, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, Aurora, Redshift

• Proven experience designing REST APIs with OpenAPI 3.1

• Familiarity with LLM platforms (Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, Gemini, etc.)

• Solid understanding of security best practices and CI/CD workflows

• Excellent communication skills across time zones

Bonus Points For

• Experience with semantic caching, vector databases, or RAG architectures

• Familiarity with AI/ML evaluation pipelines and prompt management

• PHP/Laravel SDK development experience

Why This Role Stands Out
You'll be building the central nervous system for all AI-powered features—high visibility, high impact, and a mandate to deliver reliability, performance, and security at scale. The team is remote-first, globally distributed, and deeply committed to innovation.
