About Stay22
Based in Montreal, Stay22 helps ambitious creators and intent-rich digital platforms turn their existing traffic into incremental revenue, with technology that works quietly in the background.
Today, more than 6,500 creators and platforms rely on Stay22, with over $1 billion in annual transactions flowing through the platform. Originals built for travel, the company now supports partners across retail, lifestyle, publishing, events, and transport as it expands its monetization infrastructure for the modern creator economy.
Position overview
As a Senior Fullstack Developer on Stay22's Neuro team, you will design and build robust backend systems that power our AI/ML infrastructure. Neuro's mission is to design, develop, and maintain the Roam engine - our machine-learning redirect system - along with underlying services like ML pipelines, model hosting, and LLM gateways. In this role you'll focus on the infrastructure side of AI/ML (model training is handled by our ML engineers), ensuring that data flows smoothly through ML pipelines and that inference services run reliably. You'll support Stay22's AI Roam product by building scalable backend APIs and services for real-time inference and analytics. You will also build APIs and tools that enable rapid AI experimentation across the company.
Key responsibilities
Architect, implement, and maintain end-to-end machine learning pipelines and services - from data preparation and model deployment to real‑time inference engines - to support Stay22's AI products
Own the backend and API development for the Roam (ML-based redirection) engine, ensuring these services are scalable, performant, and reliable
Create and maintain internal Large Language Model (LLM)
client/gateway layers that allow product teams to leverage language models for features like content suggestions or classification
Partner with the ML engineering team to integrate trained models into production services and work with the Data team to consume and optimize data pipelines feeding ML models
Coordinate with the Forge/platform team to implement and maintain cloud infrastructure (GCP), CI/CD pipelines, monitoring/logging, and security best practices for all AI-related systems
Build internal developer‑facing services and tools that accelerate AI experimentation and adoption, effectively acting as an internal AI/ML “platform” to help other teams integrate Neuro's services
Ensure backend systems are well‑documented, maintainable, and performant at scale. Identify and address performance bottlenecks, implement caching or optimizations as needed, and uphold high standards for code quality and testing.
Requirements
English proficiency is required for daily communication with international colleagues and direct reports.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related field, with 8+ years of software development experience focusing on backend systems
Solid proficiency in Python and modern backend frameworks (e.g. FastAPI), with a track record of designing and building scalable APIs and microservices. (Experience with TypeScript/Node.js is not required for this role but welcomed)
Experience deploying services on cloud platforms (preferably Google Cloud Platform) and using container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.). Familiarity with GCP services like Vertex AI is a plus
Proficiency with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and asynchronous task queues (e.g. Celery). Hands‑on experience optimizing database schemas and query performance
Understanding of machine learning workflows and the unique challenges of serving ML models (data pipelines, inference latency, etc.). Experience with ML infrastructure (Vertex AI, TensorFlow Serving, or similar) is advantageous
Skilled in setting up CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and monitoring/alerting (logs, metrics, tracing) to ensure system reliability and security
Excellent communication and teamwork skills. You should be able to work closely with ML engineers, data engineers, and platform teams to align on interfaces and standards
Self‑driven problem‑solver who can work independently in a hybrid environment
