- Manage PostgreSQL + Vector store architecture powering ML features and RAG capabilities
- Ensure GDPR & AI Act compliance, OAuth/MFA, data encryption
- Architect and scale RESTful APIs integrating SmartProfile with client systems
- Lead development of Assistant PRO — an AI agent for public sector administrators
What we're looking for:
- Proven experience leading technical teams
- Expert backend development (Python, Node.js, or Go) + distributed systems
- Kubernetes, containerization, production workloads (99.5%+ SLA)
- AI integrations, Vector Databases + PostgreSQL
- LLM fine-tuning, monitoring, and agentic workflow experience
- OAuth 2.0, encryption protocols, data privacy regulations
