About The Position

We are looking for a high-caliber Senior Applied AI Software Engineer to join the Delight engineering team. Delight is a scrappy, founder-led team operating at startup velocity within Simpro. This is not a maintenance role. You will own backend-heavy production systems and AI-driven workflows from day one, making real architectural decisions with real consequences. You must bring an aggressive ownership mindset, a bias for shipping, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity. If you have built something from 0 to 1 and already cannot stop thinking about the next thing you want to build, keep reading. You will work on AI-first systems that are embedded directly into core product workflows and used by customers every day. This is a high-autonomy, high-impact individual contributor role with direct influence on architecture, technical direction, and long-term system design.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate production backend services and APIs in Python, owning systems end to end from architecture through production operation and ongoing evolution
• Build and run AI-driven workflows integrating large language models and agent-style architectures that power core product features used in production every day
• Architect and operate distributed, asynchronous, event-driven systems, making trade-offs that balance performance, reliability, and delivery speed
• Drive technical decisions, evaluate system-level risks, and actively shape engineering direction across multiple product areas
• Contribute to frontend functionality when needed, with a clear and deliberate focus on backend system
• Write high-quality, well-tested code and raise the engineering bar through code reviews, design influence, and close collaboration with product and design
