We are looking for a Python Engineer based in Latin America to work on a long-term project for one of our clients, a Data Analytics and Business Intelligence services company based in Los Angeles.
The person in this role will be part of the new Product Engineering team tasked with designing and building the next generation of Agentic AI-powered products. This person will architect and build robust backend microservices that power AI agents and web clients.
Responsibilities
- Architect and develop high-concurrency backend services in Python (FastAPI/Django) to support transactional workflows such as shopping carts, order processing, and complex business operations.
- Design and implement agent-ready APIs using Pydantic for strict type enforcement and OpenAPI/MCP for autonomous service discovery, enabling agents to reliably execute business actions.
- Build and maintain secure, scalable integration frameworks using technologies such as OAuth2 and Webhooks to connect the platform with external ERP and procurement systems.
- Develop observation-friendly APIs with advanced error handling and structured response hints that allow autonomous agents to diagnose and correct invalid requests during multi-step workflows.
- Leverage AI-assisted development workflows, utilizing autonomous coding agents to plan, generate, and test backend services while maintaining high code quality through agent-supported reviews.
- Implement secure authentication and authorization mechanisms using JWT and OpenID Connect to ensure proper permission boundaries for both human users and AI agents.
- Monitor and optimize API latency and database performance (PostgreSQL / MS SQL) to support real-time interactions for web and mobile applications as well as high-frequency automated agent calls.
Requirements

- Experience implementing secure service-to-service communication using OAuth2 and JWT authentication mechanisms.
- Hands-on experience working with cloud platforms such as GCP or AWS, deploying secure and scalable containerized services.
- Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Gemini Code Assist, Claude Code, Codex, or similar autonomous coding agents to accelerate software development workflows.
