AI Backend Engineer (Developer Platform)

Quick Facts

• Role: AI Backend Engineer (Developer Platform)

• Focus: CI/CD, deployment, security, and agent-driven development infrastructure for AI-native video software

Description

Own the path from commit to production as you rebuild and scale development infrastructure for a world where AI agents dramatically increase code-change volume. Build secure CI/CD, automated testing and review, progressive rollouts, and agent-driven security workflows so engineers can ship quickly and safely. Partner with product engineers across video creation software, rendering, and the developer platform.

Responsibilities

• Ship features alongside product engineers across video creation software, video rendering engine, and developer platform; identify where development systems slow teams down

• Turn bottlenecks into tools, agents, and streamlined workflows engineers choose because they’re the fastest way to ship

• Rebuild CI/CD for 100x change volume using fast incremental builds, test selection, flaky-test detection and quarantine, merge queues, and preview environments

• Make deployments safe by default via progressive rollouts, automated canary analysis, feature flags, and automatic rollback

• Own agent coding environments (sandboxes, ephemeral stacks) and the tooling agents use to build, test, and verify

• Create an AI review pipeline with agent reviewers tuned to the codebase, risk-based routing to humans, and automated policy checks that gate merges

• Run continuous, agent-driven penetration testing against applications, APIs, and infrastructure, turning findings into PRs with proposed fixes

• Integrate security into the development pipeline with secrets, dependency, and supply-chain scanning, AI-assisted vulnerability triage, and automatically generated fix PRs

• Secure agent access using least-privilege permissions, short-lived credentials, sandboxing, audit logs, and prompt-injection guardrails

• Measure and improve the development lifecycle, including reducing PR-to-production time, replacing long-lived credentials, and driving flaky tests close to zero
