Every nation has data. Few can protect it. Fewer still can act on it.
Dream is the sovereign AI and national cyber-defense company for governments.
We help nations secure their most critical systems, connect fragmented information at a national scale, and turn their most sensitive data into decisions, all fully sovereign.
This is more than a job. It's a Dream job, where you'll work at a global scale alongside some of the best AI researchers, cyber operators, and government experts in the world.
We defend nations against the most advanced threats in the world with a national security suite that offers AI-native resilience against APTs with visibility, insights and mediation across Posture, CTI, and Detection & Response, all fully sovereign.
The Dream Job
We’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to build production-grade systems at the intersection of backend engineering and agentic AI.
You’ll design the services and data architecture behind LLM-powered agents, from prompt orchestration and tool calling to retrieval and production observability. While the role is backend-first, you’ll work across the stack when needed—connecting AI capabilities to user-facing experiences and owning the path from architecture to secure deployment.
This is an opportunity to help shape intelligent systems built for highly secure, regulated environments where reliability, precision, and engineering quality truly matter.
The Dream-Maker Responsibilities
Design, build, and operate scalable backend services in Python.
Build and integrate LLM-based agents using prompt orchestration, tool and function calling, and agentic architecture patterns.
Own data modeling and database design for complex, production-grade systems.
Connect backend and AI capabilities to user-facing applications.
Containerize and deploy services in AWS-based environments.
Build automated testing and CI pipelines that support fast, reliable delivery.
Take end-to-end ownership of systems, from technical design through production operation.
The Dream Skill Set
4+ years of hands-on experience building production-level backend services in Python.
Strong experience with modern Python frameworks, preferably asynchronous frameworks such as FastAPI.
Proven experience building or integrating LLM-based agents in production, including prompt orchestration, tool or function calling, and agentic architectures.
Solid practical experience with data modeling and database design.
Working knowledge of frontend frameworks such as React or Vue.
Experience containerizing services with Docker.
Hands-on experience with AWS services such as EC2, IAM, VPC, and RDS, or equivalent cloud technologies.
Strong ownership of automated testing and CI pipelines.
A disciplined approach to secure software development.
Advantages:
Familiarity with the cybersecurity domain.
Experience with Kubernetes, particularly self-managed or on-premises clusters.
Experience with vector databases such as Pinecone or Milvus, or embedding-based retrieval and RAG systems.
Experience with AI-agent evaluation, guardrails, or observability tools.
Experience working in air-gapped, highly regulated, or secure enterprise environments.
Never Stop Dreaming...
If you think this role doesn't fully match your skills but are eager to grow and break glass ceilings, we’d love to hear from you!
