Viant Technology’s Potens team builds internal platforms that power workflow orchestration and large-scale data exploration, and the team is expanding AI-powered capabilities. In this onsite role in Irvine, CA, you’ll help evolve Magnus and Goliath with a hands-on, full-stack approach across backend services, data platforms, and production AI integrations.
You’ll collaborate on modernization work for established systems while developing new capabilities for how users and authorized AI agents create, manage, and execute workflows and explore BigQuery data.
What you’ll do
- Maintain and modernize Magnus Java applications, REST APIs, and Goliath JavaScript/jQuery frontend
- Develop and support backend capabilities using Java and Go
- Build production AI features and integrations using LLMs, tool calling, guardrails, evaluation, and MCP
- Integrate with BigQuery, MySQL, GCP services, and internal APIs
- Diagnose and resolve application, workflow, database, performance, and production issues
- Build automated tests and deliver reliable, production-quality software
- Own projects end to end, from technical proposal and implementation through deployment and production support
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to sound engineering practices across the team
How Magnus and Goliath work
Magnus is a visual workflow orchestration platform supporting BigQuery, Cloud Storage, MySQL, REST APIs, email, FTP, conditional routing, parallel execution, Go and JavaScript scripting, YAML workflow definitions, debugging, audit history, and access controls.
