Lead Java Developer – Backend

We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build and operate the core AI/ML-backed systems that power large-scale, consumer-facing products. You will work on production-grade AI runtimes, retrieval systems, and ML-adjacent backend infrastructure, making pragmatic tradeoffs across quality, latency, reliability, and cost.

This role is not an entry point into AI/ML. You are expected to already have hands-on experience shipping ML-backed backend systems in production.

At Proximity, you won’t just build APIs - you’ll own critical backend systems end-to-end, collaborate closely with Applied ML and Product teams, and help define the foundations that power intelligent experiences at scale.

Responsibilities -

• Own and deliver end-to-end backend systems for AI product runtime, including orchestration, request lifecycle management, state/session handling, and policy enforcement.
• Design and implement retrieval and memory primitives end-to-end — document ingestion, chunking strategies, embeddings generation, indexing, vector/hybrid search, re-ranking, caching, freshness, and deletion semantics.
• Productionize ML workflows and interfaces, including feature and metadata services, online/offline parity, model integration contracts, and evaluation instrumentation.
• Drive performance, reliability, and cost optimization, owning P50/P95 latency, throughput, cache hit rates, token and inference costs, and infrastructure efficiency.
• Build observability by default, including structured logs, metrics, distributed tracing, guardrail signals, failure taxonomies, and reliable fallback paths.
• Collaborate closely with Applied ML teams on model routing, prompt and tool schemas, evaluation datasets, and release safety gates.
• Write clean, testable, and maintainable backend code, contributing to design reviews, code reviews, and operational best practices.
• Take systems from design → build → deploy → operate, including on-call ownership and incident response.
• Continuously identify bottlenecks and failure modes in AI-backed systems and proactively improve system robustness.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 6–10 years of experience building backend systems in production, with 2–3+ years working on ML/AI-backed products such as search, recommendations, ranking, RAG pipelines, or AI assistants.
• Strong practical understanding of ML system fundamentals, including embeddings, vector similarity, reranking, retrieval quality, and evaluation metrics (precision/recall, nDCG, MRR).
• Proven experience implementing or operating RAG pipelines, covering ingestion, chunking, indexing, query understanding, hybrid retrieval, and rerankers.
• Solid distributed systems fundamentals, including API design, idempotency, concurrency, retries, circuit breakers, rate limiting, and multi-tenant reliability.
• Experience with common ML/AI platform components, such as feature stores, metadata systems, streaming or batch pipelines, offline evaluation jobs, and A/B measurement hooks.
• Strong proficiency in backend programming languages and frameworks (e.g., Go, Java, Python, or similar) and API development.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of complex systems, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and system-design skills.

Desired Skills -

• Experience with agentic runtimes, including tool-calling or function-calling patterns, structured outputs, and production guardrails.
• Hands-on exposure to vector and hybrid retrieval stacks such as FAISS, Milvus, Pinecone, or Elasticsearch.
• Experience running systems on Kubernetes, with strong knowledge of observability stacks like OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, and distributed tracing.
• Familiarity with privacy, security, and data governance considerations for user and model data.

Benefits

• Best in class compensation: We hire only the best, and we pay accordingly.
• Proximity Talks: Meet engineers, designers, and product leaders — and learn from experts across domains.

Keep on learning with a world-class team: Work on real, production AI systems at scale, challenge yourself daily, and grow alongside some of the best minds in the industry.
