About the role

• Principal Architect responsible for hands-on development and architectural design at Surgimate, a platform for surgical orchestration. Collaborating with teams to drive technical initiatives in cloud and AI systems.

Responsibilities

• Contribute production-quality code primarily in Python and Java across services, pipelines, and infrastructure tooling.
• Actively implement the architectural patterns, systems, and integrations you design — not delegate them.
• Build and iterate on prototypes, proof-of-concepts, and production components end-to-end.
• Investigate and resolve complex production issues across distributed systems and cloud environments.
• Review and maintain code across repositories as a GitHub maintainer, enforcing architectural consistency.
• Design and implement AI-powered features, from prototyping through production deployment and monitoring.
• Architect systems that integrate LLMs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) into product workflows, including context management, retrieval pipelines, and output validation.
• Build and maintain retrieval-augmented (RAG) and agent-based systems using modern frameworks (e.g., LangChain or equivalent).
• Design model hosting and inference patterns on AWS (e.g., Bedrock, SageMaker, Lambda-based endpoints).

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant architectural responsibilities.
• Proven track record of hands-on delivery — consistently writing and shipping production code, not just designing systems.
• Expert-level understanding of AWS (ECS, Lambda, networking, IAM, API Gateway, scaling strategies).
• Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines, containerization, infrastructure-as-code, and automated deployments.
• Proficiency in Python for systems, services, and tooling development.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, microservices architecture, and message brokers (e.g., SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Experience designing for scalability, reliability, resilience, and cost efficiency.
• Hands-on experience with APM tooling (e.g., New Relic, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc.).
• Strong API design and integration experience, with a focus on operational best practices.
• Experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into applications (e.g., APIs, workflows, or internal tools).

Benefits

• Mandatory pension and severance
• 18 vacation days
• Study fund (Keren Hishtalmut)
• Lunch Stipend ( Cibus)
• Flexible or hybrid work options
