Backend: Python 3.13, FastAPI (primary production API, 123+ endpoints); TypeScript 5, Hono, Bun (new backend in active development)
Frontend: TypeScript, React, Next.js 16
Database: PostgreSQL 17 (pgvector for vector search), Redis (caching, async flags)
Infrastructure: AWS (ECS/Fargate, S3, SES, ECR, RDS), GCP (Vertex AI, Document AI, Cloud Translation), Docker
AI / LLM: OpenAI (embeddings, chat), Google Gemini / Vertex AI, Anthropic Claude, LiteLLM (multi-provider routing), Instructor (structured outputs), Langfuse (LLM observability)

Design and build secure, high-performance RESTful APIs in FastAPI (Python) and Hono (TypeScript/Bun)
Drive the active migration from our Python backend to the TypeScript/Hono architecture
Model and optimize relational schemas in PostgreSQL 17, including pgvector embeddings for semantic search
Build and maintain Redis-backed caching layers and async task patterns
Orchestrate multi-provider LLM calls via LiteLLM, integrating OpenAI, Gemini/Vertex AI, and Claude
Instrument LLM pipelines with Langfuse for observability, cost tracking, and quality evaluation
Containerize services with Docker and deploy to AWS ECS/Fargate and GCP (Vertex AI, Document AI)
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions with 100% diff-coverage enforcement
Research, design, and implement autonomous AI agents that orchestrate tasks and workflows using LLMs and custom policies
Ensure fault tolerance, high availability, and scalability across distributed systems; identify and mitigate bottlenecks
Partner with product, design, and QA to deliver end-to-end features
Conduct code reviews and champion best practices
What we are looking for
5+ years of professional experience in full-stack development
Proficiency with Next.js, React, and TypeScript, including SSR, app router, and server components
Deep experience building Python APIs with FastAPI (or equivalent async framework)
Strong TypeScript skills, with experience in Hono, Express, or similar server frameworks
Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, including advanced features (partitioning, indexing, full-text search)
Experience with vector databases or pgvector for embedding storage and semantic search
Familiarity with Redis for caching and async coordination
Solid AWS expertise (ECS/Fargate, S3, SES, ECR, RDS); GCP exposure a plus
Experience with containerization (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
Demonstrated knowledge of distributed systems principles (consistency models, backpressure, graceful degradation)
Excellent communication skills and ability to work asynchronously
Bonus
Prior exposure to agentic AI frameworks or building autonomous agents
Experience with LiteLLM, Instructor, or other LLM orchestration libraries
Hands-on Langfuse or other LLM observability tooling (Helicone, Braintrust, etc.)

Experience with WorkOS or similar auth platforms
Background in observability (Prometheus, Sentry, CloudWatch)
Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Placed Technologies GmbH. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
