Who We Are At Bluehost, we believe all small businesses deserve the opportunity to succeed online.

Our mission is to give small businesses the confidence to think big.

We'rethe all-in-one platform for small businesses to grow online with powerful simplicity, premium performance, smarttoolsand human support.

This role is a part of

Bluehost's innovation team, the group building the AI-native backbone of our platform while the rest of the business scales around us.

You'lldesign async, production-grade backend systems that treat AI as a first-class citizen: multi-agent orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation, and provider-agnostic LLM integration, all woven into products millions of small businesses depend on.

We want a truego-getterwho can take an idea from whiteboard to production without waiting to be told how.

What You'll Do & How You'll Make Your Mark Design and scale async REST/Web

Socket APIs in Python (FastAPIor similar), using dependency injection, type hints, and clean, vertical-slice architecture Implement multi-agent workflows (sequential, concurrent, and handoff patterns) to route work among specialized LLM agents Integrate multiple LLM providers behind a provider-agnostic layer, enabling A/B testing and cost-aware routing rather than hard-coding a single vendor Build andmaintain

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines against vector stores such aspgvector, Chroma, or a managed vector search service Design schemas and evolve data models (SQLAlchemy/SQLModel-style ORM plus migrations) that support both traditional application logic and AI-driven features Instrument services with structured logs, distributed tracing, and cost/latency metrics, holding a real bar for p95 response time under production load Maintain end-to-end CI/CD ownership, lint, type-check, test, package, and deploy, so releases are boring and safe Champion AIacross the delivery lifecycle, not just code generation, and set the guardrails the team works inside:



how generated code gets reviewed, how provenance and licensing are checked, and what customer data may enter a prompt Move ideas from concept to production quick, with real ownership over architecture and outcomes, not just tickets Who You Are & What You'll Need to Succeed 5+ years building production backend systems in Python, with real async I/O experience Hands-on experience designing and scaling REST or async APIs, including dependency injection and clean service architecture Practical experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, or similar) and building AI-readiness into backend systems from the ground up Real experiencewith vector databases and RAG-style retrieval architectures, not just reading about them Strong relational database skills: schema design, query optimization, and migration discipline AI-augmented delivery: you use AI across the delivery lifecycle, not just code generation, and can say which models suit which problems and where youdon'tuse them.

You review AI-generated code knowing its failure modes, and you have set the guardrails others work inside — review expectations for generated code, provenance and licensing checks, and clear boundaries for what customer data enters a prompt and what a security or compliance review will ask for.

End-to-end CI/CD ownership, from build and test through packaging and deployment A self-starting,go-gettermindset: comfortable with ambiguity, fast iteration, and owning a problem until it'sactually solved Bonus: experience with multi-agent orchestration frameworks (Semantic Kernel,Lang

Chain, or similar) and LLM cost/observability tooling Why You'll Love Us Work-life balance.

Meaningful work, balanced by a culture that respects your time. A culture of belonging.
