The posting

OPPO US Research Center is seeking a talented and experienced backend engineer to join our growing team. In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable and high-performance RESTful APIs that serve as the backbone for our generative AI-powered Android applications.

You will work primarily with platforms like Google Cloud or Azure to bring advanced AI capabilities directly to our users' mobile phones. This is a unique opportunity to build mission-critical services that will define how users interact with AI in a mobile platform, from concept to deployment.

Requirements

Core Development & Infrastructure

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable RESTful APIs in Python to power generative AI features
  • Integrate backend services provided by the platform such as GCP Vertex AI or developed internally

Performance & Systems

  • Optimize API performance and scalability for global Android users
  • Contribute to architectural design of distributed systems (availability, fault tolerance)

Collaboration & Operations

  • Work closely with Android and ML teams on API contracts and model integration
  • Implement monitoring, logging, and security best practices for production systems

Quality & Innovation

  • Ensure code quality through testing (unit, integration, E2E) and documentation
  • Stay updated on generative AI and cloud technology trends

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of professional backend software development experience, with a focus on building and deploying RESTful APIs.
  • Proficiency in Python and one of the associated web frameworks (e.g., Flask, Django).
  • Demonstrable experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Experience with relational (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and/or NoSQL databases (e.g., Firestore, MongoDB).
  • Solid understanding of microservices architecture, asynchronous processing, and event-driven systems.
  • Experience with version control systems, particularly Git.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug complex systems and diagnose issues across the stack.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master's degree in Computer Science, AI, or a related field.
  • Direct hands-on experience integrating with Google Cloud Platform's Vertex AI APIs (e.g., PaLM, Gemini, Imagen, Codey, etc.)
  • Experience with containerization technologies (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes, Cloud Run, GKE).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
  • Understanding of fundamental machine learning and deep learning concepts, especially in the context of generative AI.
  • Experience or strong interest in building APIs specifically for mobile applications (Android/iOS).
  • Knowledge of data streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, GCP Pub/Sub).
  • Experience with caching technologies (e.g., Redis, Memcached).
  • The ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
