Job description

Appnovation is a global, full-service digital partner that combines Strategy, Experience & Design, Engineering and Managed Services. We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth. Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.

About the Role

Join forces with Appnovation to deliver high-impact results for one of our key strategic partners - a global leader in their field. This engagement offers a unique avenue into a world-class organization with exceptional opportunities for professional growth and long-term career advancement

As a Senior AI Software Engineer, you'll transform business ideas into production-ready applications using cutting‑edge AI design tools and modern full‑stack frameworks. With a strong bias toward frontend development, you specialize in the critical early stages—from concept through pre‑totype to prototype—where design systems meet AI‑augmented development. You are a visionary technologist who sits at the intersection of engineering excellence and AI innovation. Your mission is to oversee the entire "concept‑to‑production" pipeline, ensuring our teams leverage cutting‑edge AI tools to deliver enterprise‑grade applications at unprecedented speeds.

While you maintain a deep technical foundation in full‑stack development, your primary focus is strategic leadership: defining design system standards, optimizing AI‑augmented workflows, and mentoring a high‑performance team of developers and AI builders.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic AI Integration: Direct the adoption of AI design tools (v0.dev, bolt.new, Lovable) to compress the development lifecycle from weeks to days without sacrificing quality.
• Architecture & Standards: Define and enforce the technical standards for production‑ready full‑stack applications, ensuring scalability, performance, and accessibility across all projects.
• Design-Dev Synthesis: Lead the integration of Figma‑based design systems with AI‑driven development to create seamless, automated handoff processes.
• Operational Excellence: Manage a ticket‑driven workflow in Jira, optimizing team velocity and ensuring technical documentation meets enterprise‑level requirements.
• Cross‑Functional Partnership: Act as a bridge between Strategy, Creative, and Technology departments to ensure AI‑powered solutions meet complex business objectives.
• Backend & Data Strategy: Oversee the implementation of robust backend services (Supabase, SQL/NoSQL) and secure authentication frameworks (OAuth, JWT) across the portfolio.
• Design and implement RESTful APIs and backend services using platforms like Supabase to support frontend functionality.
• Collaborate with UX Designers, AI Builders, and Innovation Leads throughout the development lifecycle.

Qualification

• 6–10+ years in full‑stack development, with at least 3+ years in a management capacity. Bonus points if you have experience working in a startup or rapid prototyping environment.
• Proven track record of implementing AI design tools(such as v0.dev, bolt.new, Lovable, or similar platforms) and workflow automation (e.g., N8N) within a professional engineering team.
• Deep expertise in modern frameworks (React, Vue, Nuxt), TypeScript, and multiple backend languages including Python, PHP, and NodeJS.
• Expert‑level knowledge of design systems, design tokens, and CSS frameworks (Tailwind) to ensure brand consistency at scale.
• Comprehensive understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), deployment workflows, and enterprise security patterns.
• Solid understanding of backend development, including API design (REST, GraphQL), server‑side logic, and database management.
• Proficiency with authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT) and security best practices.
• Expert‑level proficiency with Figma, including design system management and component libraries.
• A portfolio demonstrating not just individual code, but the leadership of complex, full‑stack applications built using AI‑augmented methodologies.
• Strong attention to detail and a passion for innovation.
• Ability to work in a fast‑paced and dynamic environment.
