The Role
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you’ll design and build high-performance backend systems that power Enlite’s intelligent automation platform. You’ll combine rock-solid backend fundamentals with a forward-looking mindset, using AI tools and LLM-based frameworks to accelerate engineering workflows and build never-before-seen product capabilities.
This is a chance to not only solve complex distributed systems challenges but to define the future of AI-powered infrastructure engineering.
What You’ll Do
- Architect and implement scalable microservices in Java (8+) and Spring Boot, optimized for cloud-native environments.
- Build backend services that orchestrate AI-powered infrastructure automation workflows.
- Leverage AI tools (code-generation assistants, AI test harnesses) to accelerate development, improve reliability, and innovate faster.
- Mentor a team of 3–4 engineers, instilling best practices in AI-augmented software development.
- Work on database optimization (MySQL/PostgreSQL), caching layers (Redis), and event-driven architectures (Kafka).
- Collaborate with product and software teams to push the boundaries of what backend + AI systems can achieve.
- Own deployment, scaling, and monitoring strategies across Linux-based cloud environments.
- Embed AI into the core : Integrate predictive and generative models that enable autonomous decision-making, adaptive automation, and continuous optimization.
What You Bring
- 6–8 years of backend engineering experience with a strong Core Java foundation.
- Expertise in data structures, algorithms, and system design patterns.
- Hands-on experience with Spring Boot and microservices architectures.
- Solid background in SQL databases and distributed systems.
- Experience managing small teams, fostering innovation, and shipping high-impact systems.
Bonus Points For
- Building or scaling automation systems.
- Experience with Kafka, Redis, or cloud-native architectures (Kubernetes, containers).
- Exposure to AI/ML systems, vector databases, or LLM-driven orchestration.
Why Join Enlite?
- Be a pioneer: Shape the world’s first AI-powered cloud-native infrastructure automation platform.
- Impact at scale: Your work will influence how the infrastructures built and managed
