ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking for a Backend Engineer to join the AAI Pod — the team building SpotDraft's AI-powered product capabilities, including data/text extraction, contract intelligence, and LLM-driven features layered on our core contracting platform. You'll help architect, build, and scale backend systems that power these AI features end-to-end, working closely with Product, Engineering, and AI teams to ship high-impact capabilities that our customers directly experience.
This role sits at the intersection of strong backend fundamentals and applied AI — you won't just be calling an API, you'll be designing the systems (extraction pipelines, RAG architectures, orchestration layers) that make AI features reliable and scalable in production.
