  • Contribute to AI-powered features: prompt engineering, agent workflows, RAG pipelines, and LLM integrations 
  • Participate in architecture and design discussions; influence technical direction as you grow into the role 
  • Write clean, tested, maintainable code and participate in code reviews 
  • Collaborate closely with engineering lead, DevOps, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into shipped software 
  • Help maintain and improve developer practices: CI/CD, testing, documentation, and operational excellence 

Qualifications

Required 

  • 5-8 years of professional full-stack software engineering experience 
  • Strong proficiency with React (or comparable modern frontend framework) and Python (Django, FastAPI, or similar) 
  • Solid understanding of REST APIs, relational databases, and modern web application architecture 
  • Familiarity with containerized deployments (Docker) 
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure) and CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions or equivalent) 
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable working across time zones and with non-technical stakeholders 
  • Curiosity about AI/ML and a genuine interest in building AI-powered products 

Strongly Preferred 

  • Experience integrating with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) in production 
  • Familiarity with one or more of: agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain), vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate), or RAG architectures 
  • Experience with modern data infrastructure (Databricks, Snowflake, Airbyte, or similar) 
  • Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Temporal, or similar) 

Nice to Have
