Senior Backend Engineer (Python), Agent Developer: Flow Components

from GitLab · read the original and apply on their site

Remote, United Kingdom

Our take: The real work here is building secure, well-tested Python backends and clean APIs that power reusable AI agent workflow primitives, across a mature codebase and a fully remote team.

If you love building secure, well-tested Python backends and want to shape the reusable primitives behind AI agent workflows, this is your kind of puzzle. You will design GraphQL and REST APIs, wrangle PostgreSQL, and bring sound judgment about where large language models help and where they fall short, all in a fully remote, asynchronous team that shares standards openly. Come for the greenfield agentic platform work; stay for the craftsmanship and the people who care about doing it properly.
