Senior Microservices AI Developer

About the Role

World Vision is a global humanitarian entity committed to fostering long-term development, disaster relief, and advocacy for children and communities. This Senior Microservices AI Developer role provides a unique opportunity to drive meaningful social impact through the engineering of high-performance backend systems. You will collaborate within an international team to design and evolve cloud-native, distributed architectures that support our global mission. We are looking for an experienced technical leader to tackle complex challenges, mitigate technical debt, and mentor team members while designing scalable solutions that improve organizational effectiveness.

Requirements

• The ideal candidate holds a Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical field such as Computer Science or Information Technology and possesses at least five to seven years of professional software engineering experience. You must have strong, hands-on expertise building and supporting cloud-native applications on AWS, including proficiency with services like AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and container orchestration with ECS or EKS. A deep understanding of Python and AWS SDK development is essential, alongside a proven track record in event-driven, serverless, and API-first architectures.
• Furthermore, you should be comfortable working with Generative AI development tools and have familiarity with AI/ML frameworks, including RAG, vector databases, NLP, and model serving. Experience with Test-Driven Development, contract testing, and robust CI/CD processes is required to ensure quality and reliability. You must be an effective communicator in English, able to review AI-generated code outputs, and willing to travel both domestically and internationally. Proficiency in additional technologies such as Node.js, TypeScript, .NET, or Terraform is considered a valuable advantage.

Responsibilities

• In this role, you will lead the full systems life cycle, from initial technical design and requirements gathering to code implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. Your primary responsibility is to build and manage backend solutions using microservices and distributed system architectures. This includes designing cloud-native modules, managing reusable code strategies to reduce technical debt, and leading complex migrations and go-lives. You will also oversee the integration of these solutions with external platforms and ensure they meet strict performance and reliability standards.
• You will actively contribute to the stability and scalability of information systems by troubleshooting errors, evaluating platform performance, and providing Level 2 and Level 3 production support. A key part of your work involves creating detailed documentation, including user guides and training materials, while also mentoring less-experienced team members and presenting technical reports to senior management. You will collaborate closely with platform and integration teams to support modernization programs, contribute to organizational coding standards, and proactively identify and remediate end-of-life risks for existing application packages.

Benefits & Perks

• The role offers full-time employment and the unique opportunity to contribute to a global humanitarian organization focused on serving vulnerable children.
• The position also includes opportunities for domestic and international travel as required by the projects.
