Job description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer – AI-First based remotely in Portugal.

In this role, you will help build and scale innovative software solutions that simplify complex global workforce compliance processes. You will join a fully remote, autonomous engineering team where product ownership, technical excellence, and AI-powered development are central to the way work gets done. Rather than relying on traditional manual coding, you will leverage advanced AI coding agents to accelerate development, guide implementation, and deliver high-quality software. Working across frontend and backend development, you will contribute to architectural decisions, product strategy, and end-to-end delivery. You will also take responsibility for application security, system reliability, and cloud deployment. This is an opportunity to work in a forward-thinking engineering environment where autonomy, experimentation, and intelligent use of AI drive continuous innovation.

Accountabilities:

• Full Stack Product Development: Design, develop, and maintain scalable software applications across frontend and backend systems, contributing approximately equally to both areas.
• AI-First Engineering: Use and orchestrate AI-powered development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, and similar agents to accelerate coding, automate repetitive tasks, generate solutions, and improve development efficiency.
• Technical Architecture and Code Quality: Define technical approaches, guide AI-generated implementations, and review code to ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, reliable, and aligned with engineering standards.
• Product Ownership and Collaboration: Work closely with Product Managers and other engineers to identify opportunities, shape product direction, prioritize initiatives, and translate business needs into effective technical solutions.
• Security and Compliance: Take ownership of application security by implementing secure development practices, identifying potential vulnerabilities, assessing risks, and ensuring sensitive compliance data is properly protected.
• End-to-End Delivery: Participate in the complete software development lifecycle, from initial system design and implementation to infrastructure management, deployment, and ongoing optimization.
• Cloud Infrastructure and Reliability: Contribute to building and maintaining cloud-based systems, ensuring application performance, scalability, and operational stability.
• Continuous Improvement: Explore emerging AI development practices, improve agent-assisted workflows, and share technical knowledge to strengthen the team's engineering capabilities.

Requirements:

• At least 3 years of professional experience developing and delivering production-ready software applications.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals, with the ability to work across different programming languages, frameworks, and technology stacks.
• Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants or autonomous development agents in everyday engineering workflows.
• Ability to evaluate, review, debug, and improve AI-generated code, identifying potential issues related to architecture, security, performance, and maintainability.
• Experience with full stack development, including frontend and backend application development.
• Solid understanding of software architecture, APIs, application design, and scalable system development.
• Good knowledge of application security principles, secure coding practices, and modern cybersecurity threats.
• Experience contributing to end-to-end software delivery, including system design, deployment, and cloud infrastructure.
• Ability to work autonomously, take ownership of technical decisions, and contribute effectively in a results-oriented environment with minimal meetings and supervision.
• Strong problem-solving skills, sound technical judgment, and a continuous learning mindset.
• Fluent English communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively within an international remote team.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Java and Spring Boot for backend development.
• Familiarity with Angular and TypeScript for frontend development.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and automated deployment workflows.
• Previous experience building SaaS platforms or enterprise applications.
• Familiarity with AI agent orchestration, prompt engineering, and advanced AI-assisted software development methodologies.

Benefits:

• Fully Remote Work: Work from anywhere in the world, with a flexible remote-first working environment.
• 183 Days of Workations: Enjoy up to 183 days per year working from different locations around the world.
• AI Development Tools: Access to leading AI coding tools and dedicated budgets to support modern, AI-powered engineering workflows.
• Equity Participation: Opportunity to benefit from Virtual Stock Options (VSOPs) as the business grows.
• Wellbeing Budget: Receive a monthly budget of €200 for coworking spaces, sports, and wellness activities.
• Career Growth: Join a rapidly expanding technology environment with opportunities to develop your technical expertise and take on greater responsibilities.
• Autonomous Team Culture: Work in a collaborative, results-driven engineering team with significant ownership over product development and technical decisions.
• Innovative Technology Environment: Contribute to the development of modern software solutions using AI-first engineering practices and emerging technologies.
• International Collaboration: Work alongside experienced professionals in a globally distributed organization focused on innovation and continuous improvement.
