We are seeking an AI Software Engineer to design build and operate the AI-enabled services at the core of the Arva platform. This role sits at the intersection of applied AI engineering and production software development: you will buildagent-based systems using frameworks such as LangGraph and LangChain and you will also build the durable application and data infrastructureincludingAPIs pipelines and interfaces that make those systems reliable at scale.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who has moved past their first job ships production code independently and is looking to apply modern AI techniques to a domain where correctness genuinely matters.

• Design build and maintain LLM-powered and agentic workflows using tools like LangGraph and LangChain AWS Bedrock AgentCore including tool use retrieval memory orchestration and multi-step reasoning pipelines.
• Develop and productionize AI/ML services in Python including work with Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) and other multi-model architectures for routing specialization and ensemble prediction.
• Build and extend backend services and APIs in Django with PostgreSQL (and PostGIS) as the primary data layer.
• Implement front-end features and internal tooling in TypeScript and to expose AI capabilities and analytics to users.
• Build and optimize data processing pipelines that ingest clean normalize and enrich large volumes of geospatial agronomic imagery and third-party data.
• Develop and maintain integrations with external partner and customer APIs including authentication rate limiting schema mapping error handling and monitoring.
• Deploy scale and operate services on AWS using managed compute storage database queueing and serverless offerings.
• Design and execute QA/QC processes for both software and data automated testing validation rules anomaly detection model evaluation and regression checks so that model outputs meet the accuracy and auditability standards our customers and verification bodies require.
• Participate in code review architecture discussions and technical planning; write clear documentation for the systems you build.
• Partner with data scientists agronomists and product stakeholders to translate scientific and business requirements into production systems.

• 25 years of professional software development experience building and shipping production systems.
• Strong proficiency in Python including experience with modern application frameworks testing and packaging practices.
• Demonstrated experience building applications or services that use large language models or other machine learning models in production.
• Working knowledge of relational databases and SQL with practical experience designing schemas and writing performant queries.
• Experience developing and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and standard software delivery practices including version control CI/CD and automated testing.
• Ability to work independently on ambiguous problems and to communicate technical trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical colleagues.
• Bachelors degree in Computer Science Software Engineering a related technical field or equivalent practical experience.

The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience across several of the following. We do not expect any single candidate to have all of them.

• AI frameworks Building agentic and LLM applications with tools like Amazon Bedrock LangGraph and LangChain.
• Model architecture Familiarity with Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures model routing and ensemble or multi-model system design.
• Backend Production experience with Python and the Django framework.
• Frontend Proficiency with TypeScript JavaScript and .
• Data storage Advanced PostgreSQL experience including performance tuning and the PostGIS extension.
• Geospatial Experience with geospatial data formats coordinate systems raster and vector processing satellite or remote sensing imagery and libraries such as GDAL rasterio GeoPandas or Shapely.
• Data processing Building large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines batch and streaming workflows and orchestration tooling.
• AWS Depth across services such as Lambda S3 ECS/Fargate RDS Batch SQS/SNS Step Functions and IAM.
• Integrations Designing and maintaining robust third-party and partner API integrations.
• QA/QC Establishing automated quality assurance and quality control processes for software data and model outputs.
• Domain Prior work in agriculture agronomy remote sensing climate energy or environmental markets.
