Job description

HealthMinds Consulting Private Limited | Full time

If you love owning full-stack products end-to-end, thrive on building production-grade Python services and polished React interfaces, and get genuinely excited about LLMs and agents actually doing things — this role was written for you.

At our end, we are building our flagship platform that blends data, workflow automation, and agentic AI to help enterprises make smarter decisions, faster. We are looking for a hands‑on engineer with 3–6 years of relevant experience who can own services end-to-end: design, build, deploy, monitor, and iterate. You’ll ship production code, shape the architecture, and help us push the boundaries of what agentic AI can do inside a real product.

Why This Role Is Different

• Real ownership. You own modules end-to-end — design, ship, monitor, iterate.
• True full-stack ownership. React frontends, Python APIs, cloud infra, AI pipelines, auth, observability — the whole stack, your call.
• AI that’s more than hype. Build and own RAG pipelines, vector search, LLM integrations, and autonomous agents that do actual work inside a real enterprise product.
• Small team, big leverage . Direct collaboration with senior engineer s and the founding team. No layers, no politics.
• Career trajectory. A clear path to senior engineer ing and tech‑lead roles as NUDGE scales.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Own features end-to-end across the full stack. Take a feature from design doc to production — React UI, FastAPI service, database schema, AWS deployment, and monitoring — without handing off to another team. You are the team.
• Build and ship React interfaces that enterprise users actually love. Design and implement component hierarchies, manage state across complex workflows, integrate with REST APIs, handle async data gracefully, and make sure the UI stays responsive even when an AI agent is doing heavy work in the background.
• Design and ship Python/FastAPI services that are built to last. Clean router structure, Pydantic‑validated contracts, dependency‑ injected auth, background task queues (Celery/RQ), async I/O where it matters — and the discipline to write tests before you call something done.
• Implement and own end-to-end RAG pipelines. Not just “plug in LangChain and call it done” — you’ll choose the right chunking strategy for the document type, select and fine‑tune embedding models, stand up and query vector stores (Pinecone, pgvector, or Weaviate), add reranking, and instrument retrieval quality metrics so you know when the pipeline degrades in production.
• Build agentic AI workflows that actually complete tasks. Design multi‑step agent graphs using LangGraph or similar, wire up tool‑calling against internal APIs and external services, handle failure modes and retry logic, and evaluate agent performance — not just “did it finish” but “did it finish correctly.”
• Own the data layer from schema to query plan. Model relational data in PostgreSQL with multi‑tenancy and row‑level security in mind, write queries a DBA would be proud of, reach for Redis or DynamoDB when the access pattern demands it, and know how to spot an N+1 before it becomes a production incident.
• Deploy and operate your own services on AWS. Containerize with Docker, orchestrate on ECS or Lambda, store secrets in Secrets Manager, wire IAM with least privilege, set up RDS with proper connection pooling, and build CloudWatch dashboards and alarms so you know when something is wrong before a user files a ticket.
• Implement auth you’d stake your reputation on. JWT issuance and validation, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC flows, role‑based access control, secure session management, and the habit of asking “can this endpoint be called by the wrong tenant?” before every PR merge.
• Ship with a CI/CD pipeline, not a prayer. Set up GitHub Actions (or equivalent) pipelines that lint, test, build, and deploy — so merging to main means it’s in production, not “it’s waiting for someone to SSH into a box.”

Must-Have Skills

• Generative AI & RAG: you’ve built a RAG pipeline in production — not just followed a tutorial. You understand the tradeoffs between chunking strategies (fixed-size, semantic, document‑structure‑aware), have selected and compared embedding models, have stood up at least one vector store (Pinecone, pgvector, Weaviate, or Qdrant), and you know that retrieval quality requires measurement, not hope. Fluency with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock) and at least one agent framework (LangGraph, LangChain, LlamaIndex) is expected.
• SQL & data modelling : PostgreSQL is your default. You write joins, window functions, CTEs, and subqueries without hesitation, you understand EXPLAIN ANALYZE output, you design schemas with multi‑tenancy in mind, and you don’t wait for a DBA to tell you your query is slow.
• Python & FastAPI: async/await, Pydantic v2, dependency injection, background tasks, structured logging, and the instinct to write a test alongside the feature — not a week later. You can explain the difference between asyncio concurrency and true parallelism, and you know when Celery is the right answer and when it’s overkill.
• Auth & security fundamentals: JWT, OAuth 2.0, OIDC, RBAC, and the habit of auditing every endpoint for tenant isolation before merging. You’ve thought about prompt injection, you know what OWASP Top 10 means in a Python/React context, and you don’t store secrets in environment variables committed to git.
• Systems thinking: you can sketch a multi‑service architecture, reason about where state should live, identify single points of failure, and make deliberate tradeoffs between consistency and availability. When to use a queue, when to go synchronous, when Redis is the answer and when it’s a crutch — you have opinions and can defend them.
• Agentic AI : you’ve built agents that do more than answer questions — they plan, decide, call tools, and recover from failures. You understand the difference between single‑step tool‑calling and multi‑step agent graphs (LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar), know how to design reliable tool interfaces, handle partial failures and retries gracefully, manage context window constraints across long‑running tasks, and evaluate whether an agent actually completed its goal — not just whether it returned a response. Prompt engineer ing discipline (system prompts, few‑shot examples, structured outputs) is assumed.

Good‑to‑Have

• React & TypeScript: functional components, custom hooks, Zustand or Redux for state, React Router, typed API calls with axios or react‑query, and clean handling of loading/error/empty states. TypeScript by default. You don’t need a senior frontend engineer reviewing your code for correctness — just for taste.
• LLM evaluation and observability: experience with RAGAS, LangSmith, Phoenix/Arize, or similar tools for measuring retrieval quality, hallucination rates, and agent task completion — not just “it looked right in the demo.”
• Data pipeline experience: ingestion, transformation, and enrichment pipelines ( Ai rflow, AWS Glue, or even just well‑structured Celery workflows) — particularly for feeding structured and unstructured data into AI systems at scale.
• Infrastructure as code: Terraform, AWS CDK, or Pulumi — the ability to version and review infrastructure changes the same way you review code. Not required, but the team will love you for it.
• Enterprise SaaS patterns: multi‑tenancy, row‑level security, usage metering, audit logging, SSO/SAML integration, or experience building for compliance‑conscious enterprise buyers. You’ve shipped something to a customer who cares about SOC 2 or GDPR.
• NoSQL and search: DynamoDB for high‑throughput key‑value access patterns, Redis beyond basic caching (pub/sub, streams, sorted sets), or Elasticsearch/OpenSearch for full‑text and hybrid search — knowing when to reach past PostgreSQL and why.
• Prior startup or product company experience: you know what it means to own a feature end‑to‑end with limited resources, make pragmatic tradeoffs under time pressure, and ship to real users who notice when things break.

Who You Are

• 3–6 years of relevant, hands‑on experience building and shipping full‑stack production applications — backend -heavy is fine, but you should be able to own a React feature without hand‑holding. Bonus if some of that experience was at an early‑stage product company.
• A degree in Computer Science, Engineer ing, or a related field — or a track record strong enough that we don’t need to ask.
• You’ve owned features (not just tickets) from spec to production, and you have the war stories to prove it.
• You read documentation before you ask questions, and you ask great questions when documentation falls short.
• You care about clean code, code reviews, and the difference between a PR that’s done and one that’s merged.
• You’re curious about AI but skeptical of magic — you want to understand what’s actually happening under the hood.
• You communicate well in writing. Slack messages, PRs, design docs, incident notes — clarity is a superpower.
