Job description

Role & responsibilities:

Engineering & Delivery

• Build full-stack web applications using React/TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, with responsive interfaces that work across desktop and mobile.


• Design and implement APIs, database schemas, and frontend architectures suitable for production use.


• Design, develop, and deploy AI agents to automate workflows and enhance product capabilities using frameworks such as LangChain/LangGraph, CrewAI, or OpenAI Agents SDK.


• Debug and resolve issues across the full stack, including in production environments.


• Write clean, tested, and well-documented code.

Product Thinking

• Run discovery with clients to uncover the underlying problem not just the feature they asked for — and translate it into a clear solution shape.


• Scope work into shippable increments, make trade-offs between scope, time, and quality, and communicate those trade-offs transparently.


• Maintain a working roadmap for each engagement and keep priorities aligned as the picture evolves.


• Define success metrics with the client and track whether what you ship is actually moving them.


• Push back constructively when a request doesn't serve the user or the business, and propose better alternatives.

Client & Relationship Management

• Be the primary technical point of contact for the engagement — running working sessions, demos, and status updates with confidence.


• Build trust with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leadership at the client.


• Set and manage expectations proactively — surface risks early, communicate slippage honestly, and celebrate wins concretely.


• Spot opportunities to deepen the engagement and flag them to the wider team.


• Leave every interaction with the client feeling that the engagement is in good hands.
