Job description

Job Description

We are seeking a highly talented and seasoned Lead Full-Stack Development Engineer with 812 years of deep software engineering and machine learning production experience to drive the technical execution of our AI product suites. Operating embedded directly within the AI Product & Engineering team, this pivotal role serves as the primary engineering anchor responsible for designing, building, and deploying scalable, high-performance AI applications, interactive user interfaces, and robust production systems.

You will lead the end-to-end development lifecycle, bridging the gap between foundational AI research models, cloud data infrastructure, and user-facing software applications. Your core mission is to architect resilient codebases, optimize inference pipelines, implement modern user interfaces, and establish automated DevOps guardrails that seamlessly transform cognitive AI capabilities into enterprise-grade, scalable business solutions.

Responsibilities

Full-Stack AI Product Architecture & Development

• Lead the system design and full-stack development of production-grade AI applications, responsive front-end interfaces, microservices, and user-centric features.
• Architect scalable APIs and orchestration layers that connect core business logic with upstream Large Language Models (LLMs), agentic workflows, and predictive systems.
• Establish rigorous engineering standards for code quality, comprehensive code reviews, automated testing, and version control across the full development stack.

Front-End Interface & User Experience Engineering

• Architect high-performance web applications using modern front-end frameworks, ensuring exceptional responsiveness, state management, and real-time data streaming (e.g., streaming LLM token responses).
• Collaborate closely with UI/UX engineers and Product Managers to convert design systems and visual wireframes into reusable, accessible component libraries.
• Optimize front-end application layers for speed, cross-browser compatibility, and seamless integration with complex backend application logic.

Model Deployment & RAG/LLM Optimization

• Implement and optimize enterprise-scale frameworks for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), multi-agent orchestration, and prompt engineering pipelines.
• Integrate and manage custom vector databases ensuring sub‑second API responses through efficient indexing, caching, and database query optimization.

Ensures team-wide application of standard operating procedures for development, deployment, support, break-fix and systems management.

Assesses usage and utilization trends to make design and implementation recommendations toward scaling the company's architecture.

Writes and maintains software build systems and supporting tools including continuous integration, packaging and deployment.

collaborates with others to troubleshoot and resolve escalated production, integration or application issues.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• Professional Experience: 8–12 years of proven success in full-stack software engineering roles, with at least 3+ years actively leading technical teams and deploying commercial AI/ML-powered web products into production environments.
