Senior Python Developer

Plura.ai, based in Henderson, NV, is seeking a Senior Python focused backend platform engineer to help scale its AI powered analytics and reporting platform. This on-site role concentrates on Python backend services, AWS serverless infrastructure, LLM orchestration, data pipelines, and AI generated reporting, with close collaboration to turn customer reporting needs into reliable platform capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Python backend services that drive AI powered reporting, analytics APIs, asynchronous job processing, and report generation.
• Design and enhance AWS serverless architectures using Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SQS, Step Functions, IAM, Secrets Manager, and CloudWatch.
• Build LLM powered workflows for natural language query planning, tool invocation, SQL generation, report narration, and quality evaluation.
• Integrate with MCP/JSON-RPC tools and data systems such as Athena, Snowflake, Timestream, and graph based query planners.
• Improve large dataset processing with chunking, queue fanout, merge and summarization jobs, and S3 backed artifacts.
• Implement secure, account scoped API behavior with JWT/Cognito authorization, least privilege IAM, and careful secrets handling.
• Develop and maintain unit, integration, end-to-end, and evaluation tests using pytest and related tooling.
• Troubleshoot production issues using CloudWatch logs, AWS X-Ray traces, job records, report artifacts, and LLM trace metadata.
• Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to translate customer reporting needs into reliable platform capabilities.

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional backend software engineering experience.
• Strong Python experience, ideally Python 3.12+.
• Production AWS experience, especially Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, and Secrets Manager.
• Experience with infrastructure as code, preferably AWS CDK.
• Experience designing asynchronous systems, queues, long running jobs, retries, and status polling workflows.
• Strong SQL and analytical data processing skills.
• Experience building and maintaining REST APIs or JSON based service APIs.
• Strong testing discipline with pytest or similar frameworks.
• Ability to debug across application code, cloud infrastructure, logs, data pipelines, and third party services.
