Where? At BrightEdge, we innovate at the intersection of AI, SEO, and enterprise growth. We’re not just shaping the future of enterprise SEO and content performance; we’re also redefining how digital experiences drive real business results. Trusted by more than 55% of the Fortune 100 and 500, alongside 2000 enterprise brands, our AI-powered platform transforms content into measurable traffic, engagement, and revenue.


About the Role:

We are looking for a Backend AI Engineer to join our core team and help build backend systems that support AI-powered product experiences. This role is for engineers who have strong fundamentals in programming and databases, enjoy solving real problems, and want to learn how modern teams use AI to build software faster and better. You will work on backend features, APIs, data workflows, and automation that make AI-driven systems more useful, reliable, and measurable in real products.


Why This Role Is Interesting:

This is a chance to work on meaningful product problems, not just routine coding tasks. You’ll help build systems that improve product workflows and power features that users and teams rely on every day. AI will be part of your daily workflow, so you’ll get hands-on exposure to coding copilots, AI assistants, and modern development practices that help you learn and build faster.


What You’ll Do:

  • Build and improve backend features using Python.
  • Work on APIs, database-backed services, and internal tools.
  • Use AI tools for implementation, debugging, testing, and documentation.
  • Write clean, maintainable code and participate in code reviews.
  • Support data quality, monitoring, and reliability.
  • Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams.


What We’re Looking For:

  • Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong foundation in Python or another backend language.
  • Good understanding of SQL, relational databases, and basic schema design.
  • Academic, internship, or personal project experience with APIs or backend logic.
  • Interest in AI tools and modern development workflows.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn quickly.


What You’ll Gain:

  • Hands-on backend experience in real product workflows.
  • Daily exposure to AI-assisted development.
  • Mentorship from experienced engineers.
  • A strong foundation in backend engineering, APIs, databases, and AI-driven development.
  • Fast growth in a team that values learning and impact.
