Job Description: YOSS Platform

AI Platform Engineer

Contract-to-Hire | Remote (South Georgia preferred) | $45–65/hr contract or $70–85K full-time

About This Role

We’re a small, fast-moving K-12 software company that’s built an AI platform now being used by a national staffing company backed by private equity. The platform is generating real results — automated contact center ticket resolution, AI-powered RFP document processing, and intelligent texting at scale — and our client wants to expand rapidly.

We need another engineer who can take well-scoped tasks from our technical lead and ship production-quality code inside an existing, well-structured codebase. You won’t be designing the architecture from scratch — you’ll be building features, new services, and integrations within established patterns. Think of it as: the architect draws the blueprint, you build the house.

This is a 90-day contract engagement with a clear path to full-time if the fit is right. We strongly prefer someone in or near South Georgia / North Florida, but we’re open to fully remote for the right person.

The Tech Stack

Our platform is a multi-service architecture. Here’s what you’ll be working in:

Backend Services

C# / .NET 10 — ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework, clean architecture pattern (Domain → Application → Infrastructure → Web)

AI Engine

Python / Flask — LangGraph, LangChain, multi-provider LLM abstraction (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, AWS Bedrock)

Frontends

React 18, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS — shared component library across all apps

Infrastructure

AWS (S3, RDS), Azure App Service, Bicep IaC, GitLab CI/CD

AI Integration

MCP (Model Context Protocol) connecting AI agents to app backends, SSE streaming, Okta SSO

APIs & Services

Twilio (SMS), Zendesk (ticket automation), OpenAI/Anthropic/Bedrock APIs

What You’ll Do

Build new microservices following established patterns — our existing apps (Texting, RFP, Auth) are templated so spinning up a new service is scaffolding, not invention
Create and extend MCP tools that connect AI agents to backend data sources and business logic
Build React/TypeScript frontends for new AI-powered applications using our shared theme library
Extend Zendesk automation workflows — auto-resolving tickets, routing, AI-assisted responses
Write and maintain Python-based AI agents with well-defined system prompts and tool configurations
Work within GitLab for version control and CI/CD pipelines
What We’re Looking ForMust Have

3+ years building production web applications with C# / ASP.NET Core
Working proficiency in Python — you don’t need to be a Python expert, but you need to read and write it comfortably
Experience with React and TypeScript
Hands-on experience with at least one LLM API (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, etc.) — building real features, not just tutorials
Comfortable working in a small team where you ship fast and iterate
Nice to Have

Experience with LangChain or LangGraph
Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol)
Azure or AWS deployment experience (App Service, S3, RDS)
Background in SaaS or multi-tenant platforms
Located in South Georgia, North Florida, or the Valdosta/Tifton/Albany/Tallahassee corridor
Not Required

ML/AI research experience — we’re building on top of models, not training them
Prior experience in K-12 or staffing industries
A computer science degree — we care about what you’ve built, not where you went to school
Why This Role Is Interesting

You’ll work directly with a technical lead who’s shipping AI products that are already in production and generating revenue — not a “research project” that may never see the light of day
The client pipeline is real and growing — this isn’t speculative, it’s a PE-backed company actively expanding their AI investment
Small team means high ownership — you’ll see your code in production within days, not months
Contract-to-hire structure lets both sides test the fit before committing
Competitive pay for the region, especially for in-person candidates in South Georgia
Compensation & Structure

Contract: $45–65/hr depending on experience, 90-day initial engagement
Full-time conversion: $70–85K base salary with benefits
In-person candidates in the Adel, GA area may receive additional preference
Remote candidates expected to travel to South Georgia periodically (quarterly at minimum)
How to Apply

Send your resume and a brief note about your experience with AI/LLM APIs to g.merwin@yossplatform.com Bonus points if you include a link to something you’ve built — a GitHub repo, a deployed project, or even a side project that shows how you think about AI-powered applications.

Our process: Initial conversation → 30-minute technical screen with our lead engineer → Decision within 48 hours. We move fast.
