Ayn Rand Institute (ARI)

Software Engineer – Modular Infrastructure & AI Specialist

Location: Remote, preferably North and Latin America timezone

Type: Full Time position, but starting part time

 

About the Role

 

We’re seeking a highly experienced Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of advanced web technologies and cutting-edge AI systems. This role is ideal for someone who is both a JavaScript ecosystem expert and an AI engineering — able to design robust architectures that support modern applications and intelligent automation.

 

You’ll be joining a team that values clear thinking, technical excellence, and intellectual curiosity. We move fast, think deeply, and build systems designed to last.

 

What You’ll Do

 

* Architect and evolve a scalable, modular infrastructure from the ground up
* Build and maintain clean, well-documented public APIs (GraphQL/REST)
* Develop flexible data layers using tools like Prisma or equivalent ORMs
* Design and integrate systems for AI agents, including local and external LLMs
* Implement privacy-conscious, secure AI workflows
* Drive best practices in code quality, CI/CD, testing, and observability
* Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to define AI-native infrastructure

 

You’re a Great Fit If You Have:

 

Deep JavaScript & Web Stack Expertise

 

* Advanced experience with JavaScript frameworks (Node.js, React, Next.js)
* Familiarity with GraphQL (Apollo, Hasura) and RESTful API development
* Knowledge of modular architecture, monorepos, and clean service boundaries
* Experience with containerization (Docker) and modern DevOps practices

 

Advanced AI Engineering Proficiency

 

* Hands-on experience working with LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, local models)
* Familiarity with frameworks like LangChain, AutoGen, and agentic design patterns
* Knowledge of context engineering, fine-tuning, vector search, embeddings
* Understanding of AI data privacy, model hosting, and local inference setups
* Experience building infrastructure to support AI agents and autonomous workflows

 

Bonus Points For Experience With:

 

* Event-driven systems (Kafka, NATS, webhooks)
* Content versioning, change-tracking, and audit trails
* Observability and logging tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog, Prometheus)
* Systems in edtech, CRM, or academic grading environments

 

What We Value:

 

* Clear and rigorous thinking
* Ownership mindset and accountability
* Curiosity about new technologies and their implications
* Collaborative spirit with strong communication skills
* Commitment to building systems that are understandable, testable, and scalable
