About the Role

We are looking for a senior Full Stack AI Developer to lead the development of an internal AI-powered operating platform.

You will work across data engineering, API integrations, AI/LLM applications, dashboards, automation, and modern web development. You will help design the architecture, build production-ready systems, and improve the platform based on real business needs.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who can propose solutions, make technical decisions, and take projects from idea to production.

Key Responsibilities

Data & Platform Development

• Build and maintain a centralized data warehouse using SQL and modern data tools.
• Develop a shared metrics layer so business metrics are consistently defined across dashboards.
• Build data pipelines, models, monitoring, and automated reporting.
• Connect data from multiple business systems into a centralized platform.

API Integrations & Automation

• Build and maintain REST API and webhook integrations with platforms such as ServiceTitan, Dialpad, Brex, Ramp, QuickBooks Online, payroll, Google Ads, and other business systems.
• Develop event-driven automations that monitor business processes and trigger alerts when requirements are missed.
• Build automated checks and scorecards for operations, payroll, accounting, and marketing.

AI & LLM Development

• Build AI-powered assistants that can answer business questions using company data.
• Develop retrieval, text-to-SQL, semantic layers, agents, and tool-use workflows.
• Design prompts, evaluations, guardrails, and systems that control AI cost and latency.
• Build AI applications that are reliable enough for real users and business operations.

Dashboards & Web Applications

• Build dashboards for operations, sales, finance, marketing, and customer service.
• Develop modern web applications using TypeScript/JavaScript and React or similar technologies.
• Build backend services using Node.js or Python.
• Support future customer-facing applications for booking, payments, invoices, job photos, and service history.

Security & Infrastructure

• Implement secure authentication, OAuth/SSO, role-based access, secrets management, and audit logging.
• Follow least-privilege access and appropriate PII handling practices.
• Support CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and production reliability.
• Build systems that are properly documented and supported with runbooks.

Required Experience & Skills

• 5+ years of professional full-stack development experience with production systems.
• 2+ years of experience building data pipelines, data warehouses, and LLM-powered applications.
• Strong experience with SQL and cloud data warehouses such as BigQuery, Snowflake, or PostgreSQL.
• Experience with dbt or equivalent data modeling tools, orchestration, and monitoring.
• Strong experience building REST APIs and webhook integrations.
• Hands-on experience with AI/LLM applications, including agents, tool use, text-to-SQL, retrieval, and evaluation.
• Strong TypeScript/JavaScript and React or similar frontend experience.
• Experience with Node.js or Python backend services.
• Experience with serverless or edge technologies; Cloudflare Workers is a plus.
• Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code.
• Strong understanding of application security, authentication, permissions, secrets, and audit logging.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of architecture and technical decisions.
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience integrating with ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, or similar field-service platforms.
• Experience with React Native or Flutter.
• Experience working with business SaaS integrations at scale.
• Experience handling customer data and building systems with SOC 2-style security controls.
• Experience building AI assistants used by real business users.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• You can design the architecture, not just implement assigned tickets.
• You build production-ready systems that are monitored, documented, and maintainable.
• You understand how technology connects to business metrics and outcomes.
• You can explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• You take ownership from planning through deployment and ongoing improvement.
• You are comfortable working remotely with async communication and regular demos.

Working Style

You will work remotely with at least 4 hours of daily overlap with U.S. Pacific Time. The team works primarily through async communication, with regular collaboration and weekly demos of shipped work.
