Backend Software Engineer (Workflow Orchestration)

Quick Facts

• Role: Backend Software Engineer focused on workflow orchestration for frontier AI evaluation and expert-in-the-loop work

Description

Build production backend systems that capture, coordinate, and validate expert judgment workflows at scale between customer requests and the outputs that ship. These are long-running, stateful systems where steps can be reopened and re-reviewed, so the orchestration must tolerate late mutations and survive disagreements between humans and models. You’ll design orchestration primitives, integrate model inference with human oversight, and deliver APIs and tooling so teams can operate, debug, and trust the system.

Responsibilities

• Design services and state models for multi-stage workflows that fan out across automated processing and expert reviewers, then reconcile results
• Build orchestration primitives such as retries, failure recovery, idempotency, and auditable state transitions
• Integrate model inference into production workflows with strong debuggability and human oversight
• Build APIs and tooling for product, operations, and ML teams to operate, debug, and trust the workflows
• Own reliability and observability for workflows where silent failures can corrupt results
