We are seeking a skilled back-end developer to join our IBM Software team. As part of our team, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining high-quality software products, working with a variety of technologies and programming languages.

Your Role and Responsibilities
This position is in watsonx Orchestrate’s AI assistant API and Runtime team. Our team is responsible for implementing our public APIs and orchestrating 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. You will work with data scientists, user experience designers, and product managers to understand requirements and create technical architectures. Your responsibilities will span the entire lifecycle of your services, including gathering requirements, design, development, continuous integration/deployment and supporting operations. You need to be able to think strategically to develop long-term architectural roadmaps, while continuously delivering new features to make incremental progress.

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!
