What We’re Looking For
We are seeking an experienced Python Engineer to help build and enhance cloud-native capabilities within our SaaS platform. This role is primarily focused on developing reliable, scalable Python services and APIs, with opportunities to work on generative AI, intelligent agents, and other emerging AI capabilities.
The ideal candidate has a strong background in backend software development, particularly within a SaaS or cloud-based product environment. Prior experience with large language models, LangChain, retrieval-augmented generation, or AI agents is beneficial but not required.
We are looking for engineers who have strong software engineering fundamentals and are interested in applying those skills to modern AI-enabled applications.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. Provenir is unable to provide employment visa sponsorship for this position now or in the future.

- Experience developing and supporting cloud-based or multi-tenant SaaS applications
- Experience designing REST APIs, service integrations, and reusable backend components
- Hands-on experience with Docker and containerized application development
- Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud-native deployment environments
- Experience working with AWS services such as EKS, S3, IAM, Lambda, and CloudWatch
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control, monitoring, logging, and production support
