MTicket is building a production AI runtime on top of a real ticketing and live events business.
This is not a chatbot wrapper, not a demo, and not a pet project.
Our systems operate around real-world workflows: ticket sales, payments, stadium shows, scanners, live event operations, approvals, and time-sensitive business processes.
We are looking for a strong Senior Python Backend Engineer who can build reliable AI-powered infrastructure in production.

What you’ll build

You’ll work on the core AI runtime layer, including:

  • Async AI workers and orchestration runtime
  • Event-driven pipelines and queue processing
  • LLM integrations with OpenAI / Anthropic
  • LLM proxy layer and structured output validation
  • Retries, timeouts, DLQ and failure handling
  • RAG pipelines, pgvector and vector search
  • Approval flows and human-in-the-loop workflows
  • Observability, tracing and production debugging

Tech stack

Python, FastAPI, LangGraph / LangChain or similar orchestration runtimes, OpenAI / Anthropic, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Kafka / SQS / RabbitMQ / Redis, OpenTelemetry, AWS, Docker.

Must have

  • Senior-level production Python experience
  • Strong FastAPI and async Python skills
  • Experience with event-driven systems: queues, workers, retries, DLQ
  • Solid PostgreSQL experience
  • API integrations in production
  • Production debugging experience
  • Understanding of observability, tracing and monitoring
  • Ability to own complex backend systems end-to-end
  • Ukrainian or Russian language proficiency at C1 level.

Strong plus

  • LLM pipelines in production
  • LangGraph, LangChain or other orchestration runtimes
  • RAG, embeddings, pgvector or vector search
  • OpenTelemetry
  • Structured outputs and JSON schema validation
  • Kafka, SQS or RabbitMQ
  • Experience with payments, ticketing, marketplaces, live events or operational workflows

First 90 days

In your first 90 days, you will:

  • Build async worker infrastructure
  • Implement the orchestrator runtime
  • Integrate the LLM proxy layer
  • Build validation pipelines
  • Connect telemetry, tracing and observability
  • Ship the first operational AI workflows into production

What you’ll get

  • Architectural ownership from day one
  • Real production AI systems, not demos
  • Direct impact on AI runtime architecture
  • Strong engineering culture
  • Fast decision-making and close collaboration with leadership
  • Remote work from anywhere

This role is a great fit for an engineer who wants to build real AI infrastructure: queues, workers, orchestration, observability, validation, production reliability and systems that directly affect live business operations.
