Backend Engineer – Agentic Systems (Python)

Metana
ContractColombo, Sri Lanka

About the Role

We’re looking for a Backend Engineer with strong Python skills and hands-on experience in building agentic systems, ideally using LangGraph, to help build the core of a next-generation task automation engine.

If you’ve been building with agents, orchestration frameworks, or language model pipelines — this is your chance to make a huge impact on a real-world AI assistant product.

What You Bring

  • 3+ years of backend experience in Python, including building APIs, asynchronous services, and system architecture.
  • Proven experience building agentic systems, LLM-powered tools, or orchestration pipelines.
  • Familiarity with LangGraph, LangChain, or similar stateful agent management libraries.
  • Experience with task decomposition, workflow engines, or control logic systems.
  • Solid understanding of concurrency, state machines, and error recovery logic.
  • Comfortable to work with Playwright, headless browsers, or browser automation tools.
  • Knowledge of LLM input/output structuring, prompt-to-action mapping, and model integration.

Nice to Have

  • Experience building developer tools, assistant-style UIs, or productivity software
  • Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker), Linux, and cloud automation
  • Interest in LLM alignment, feedback learning, or autonomous systems
  • Contributions to open-source LangGraph/LangChain projects or your own agentic frameworks

Why Join Us

  • Help power the core engine of an AI assistant for knowledge workers
  • Work with a small, passionate team building product-first AI infrastructure
  • Direct influence on architecture, tooling, and how the product functions day-to-day
  • Flexibility to explore and implement modern, creative solutions
  • Competitive compensation and high ownership in the MVP phase
