Introduction

Our mission is to revolutionize digital labor by developing and deploying the latest conversational artificial intelligence (AI) technology in IBM’s industry-leading digital labor platform WatsonX Orchestrate.  

We are proud of our state-of-the-art, secure, and scalable application infrastructure, where data confidentiality, performance, and security are the primary requirements. 
We are passionate about designing elegant APIs, microservices, cloud-based AI applications and databases with huge datasets. 
If you share our passion for great software engineering, working in cross-functional teams, and fast-paced challenging projects, this is the job for you! 

Your role and responsibilities

This position is in watsonx Orchestrate’s AI assistant Runtime team. Our team is responsible for implementing various AI backend systems that are the heart of watsonx Orchestrate. You will work with other development teams to understand their API and data needs. You will collaborate with Site Reliability Engineers (SRE) and operations teams to improve watsonx Orchestrate’s overall scalability, performance, and reliability.  

 

Although this position is primarily for back-end components, you will make the customer and business requirements your top priority.

Above all, we are looking for team members with a keen sense of ownership, resilience, and drive. If you like dynamic projects and enjoy being challenged, if you can make progress when faced with ambiguous requirements and uncertainty, if you enjoy moving fast (and are not afraid of making a mistake or two on the way), then we are the perfect team for you!
