About the Team

Here at BTI360, we’ve built a culture that’s passionate about developing software engineers. Software doesn't build itself. People do.  In fact, teams of people do.  That's why our primary focus is on developing better craftsmen, better teammates, and better technical leaders.  By putting people first, we're not just giving our teammates more opportunities to grow, we're also raising the bar of the software we ship. BTI360 previously has been voted 10 years in a row as a TOP Place to Work by the Washington Business Journal. 

Join us in transforming a manual content review process into a streamlined, self-service solution using Generative AI. We’re automating the review of resumes, presentations, and books by applying AI to classification and release rules—cutting down review time and increasing efficiency. If you’re excited about applying AI to make real-world processes faster and smarter, this mission is for you. 

What you will do in this role:

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable backend services and APIs in a containerized cloud environment (AWS preferred)

  • Build mission-critical production applications focused on data discovery, analysis, and secure data delivery

  • Integrate with cloud services and data platforms to expose high-value data through secure, performant interfaces
  • Contribute to application features that integrate LLMs, agents, or ML models into production systems

  • Collaborate in a Lean Agile environment with teammates and stakeholders, participating in code reviews, system design, and continuous improvement

  • Work with CI/CD pipelines, modern build tools, and testing frameworks to ensure quality, security, and delivery speed

  • Familiarity with DevSecOps practices, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud infrastructure

  • Experience with testing frameworks (PyTest preferred; unittest acceptable)

  • Experience with Python project and dependency management tools (poetry preferred; uv, make, pip, conda acceptable)

  • Effective written and verbal communication skills for technical collaboration

Skills that would make you an above-and-beyond candidate:

  • Hands-on with MLOps or model-serving tools (e.g., MLflow, SageMaker, Kubeflow)

  • Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana preferred; CloudWatch, ELK/EFK acceptable)

  • Experience with event-driven and streaming systems (Kafka, Kinesis, SQS/SNS, AWS Step Functions)
