Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Ontrac Solutions is hiring a Senior Backend Software Engineer to build agentic AI workflows for an enterprise asset-and-metadata platform. The role focuses on developing AI-suggested metadata, automated ownership reassignment and deprecation logic, agent and MCP inventory capabilities, product inventory mapping, and legacy code refactoring using Go and AWS.
Responsibilities
- **AI-suggested metadata engine** — proposing metadata across the active project estate, then tuning it until engineers actually accept the suggestions
- **Automated ownership reassignment and deprecation** — logic that finds ownerless or relinquished systems and acts on them safely
- **Agent and MCP inventory** — complete coverage across production and endpoint environments, accessible programmatically
- **First-party product inventory and critical-user-journey mapping** — making ownership and metadata trustworthy enough to decide on
- **Legacy refactoring and decommissioning** — with unit and integration tests covering everything you ship
- **Sprint delivery** alongside program and customer teams
Skills
- 1. **5+ years** professional backend software engineering
- 2. **Go** as a working language — you've built and shipped scalable backend services and APIs in it
- 3. **PostgreSQL** — schema design and real querying
- 4. **MongoDB** — schema design and real querying
- 5. **AWS** — working knowledge of the services plus their client libraries and APIs
- 6. **Agentic, AI-driven workflows** you have designed, implemented **and tuned** — suggestion engines, automated decision logic, or assistant interfaces
- 7. **Asset discovery / ingestion tooling** — open-source or commercial (e.g. CloudQuery) for aggregating cloud resources and metadata
- 8. **Data classification standards, dependency mapping, functional framework mapping**
- 9. Navigating a **large, unfamiliar codebase** to refactor or decommission legacy code **without regressing existing behaviour**
- 10. **Unit and integration testing** for backend components, as standard practice
- 11. **Agile/Scrum** delivery — sprints, stand-ups, retrospectives
- 12. Bachelor's in Computer Science or a related field, **or equivalent practical experience** — we care about what you've built
- * **Remote, United States.** No relocation
