AIMPROSOFT — AI Backend Engineer (Java & Azure) Opportunity!
Aimprosoft is expanding its engineering team and is seeking an AI Backend Engineer (Java & Azure) for a long-term contract (1+ year) to join a strategic North American EdTech platform modernizing student employability services with AI.
About the client & role:
Our client powers one of the leading education-technology ecosystems in Canada and the U.S., enabling universities to connect academic programs, real-world experience, and labor market opportunities for tens of thousands of students.
The platform is now evolving into an AI-enhanced employability engine, embedding intelligent services into student and employer workflows, including: * Labour Market Insights to map program skills to real job demand * Employer trust scoring & fraud detection integrated into onboarding flows * Skills-aware job—student matching using embeddings & similarity scoring * Automated skill extraction from resumes and project artifacts * AI-powered career advisor (RAG-based guidance)
You will design and implement the backend logic that powers these AI features — building and integrating Azure Cognitive Services, Azure AI Search, and Azure OpenAI into production microservices written in Java. Your contribution will directly impact student outcomes and platform intelligence.
What We Need From You: * Strong proficiency in Java (Spring Boot, REST services, multithreading, microservices) * Experience integrating Azure AI services (Azure OpenAI, Azure Cognitive Search, Azure AI Language, Azure Functions) * Experience with RAG pipelines, embeddings, and vector similarity search * Familiarity with skills taxonomies (ESCO, NOC) or willingness to learn * Experience with service-oriented architectures, distributed systems, and event-driven workflows * Understanding of NLP, entity extraction, and classification techniques * Experience working with relational databases and schema evolution * Containerization experience: Docker / Kubernetes / Azure Container Apps * Solid understanding of security, IAM, secrets, and environment management in Azure
Nice to have: * Experience with resume parsing APIs or document extraction pipelines * Familiarity with Azure DevOps CI/CD * Experience with UML and architecture documentation * Experience with large educational or enterprise data models
What We Offer: * Official military deferment (reservation) * A competitive compensation that appreciates your skills and experience * Lead refactoring initiatives for the AI-enabled architecture * Influence core platform design decisions related to AI, RAG pipelines, and microservices * Potential for future leadership roles as AI components expand across the platform * Cozy atmosphere and modern approaches. We have neither bureaucracy nor strict management nor “working under pressure” conditions * Opportunity to implement your ideas, tools, and approaches. We are open to changes and suggestions aimed at improvement
