About Position:

We are seeking a highly experienced Fullstack Engineer with 10+ years of expertise in building scalable, enterprise-grade applications using modern frontend, backend, cloud, and AI technologies. This role is ideal for a hands‑on engineering leader who thrives in designing and developing end‑to‑end solutions while driving technical excellence across the full technology stack. As the senior‑most individual contributor within an AI‑enabled platform team, you will be responsible for architecting and delivering a unified application that consolidates multiple business workflows into a centralized, scalable, and user‑friendly platform. The role demands deep expertise in React‑based frontend development, Python backend services, AI‑enabled engineering practices, and Azure cloud technologies. You will leverage AI‑assisted development tools such as Claude AI to accelerate software delivery, improve code quality, streamline documentation, and enhance overall engineering productivity. While AI will be a key component of your development workflow, the application itself will be built using robust, scalable enterprise architectures.

• Location: New York OR New Jersey
• Experience: 10 to 15 Years
• Job Type: Full Time Employment

What You'll Do:

• Engineer and build the end‑to‑end full stack platform that unifies fragmented workflows into a centralized, scalable, and AI‑enabled application experience.
• Design and implement frontend and backend components, including application shell, UI layers, APIs, and supporting services, ensuring performance, scalability, and production readiness.
• Develop and integrate workflow‑driven modules such as collaboration interfaces, structured evaluation forms, and exportable artifacts for downstream usage and reuse.
• Build and manage integrations with enterprise systems, data pipelines, analytics platforms, and external data artifacts, enabling seamless interaction across structured and unstructured data sources.
• Design and implement systems that support AI‑assisted workflows, enabling enriched user interactions, intelligent recommendations, and data‑driven decision‑making capabilities.
• Leverage Claude AI extensively as an engineering productivity accelerator‑driving faster GTM through rapid prototyping, full stack development, debugging, and system design acceleration.
• Establish and scale Claude‑driven development practices to enhance developer productivity, reduce delivery cycles, and improve code quality across the engineering lifecycle.
• Own full stack technical design and architecture, translating product and workflow requirements into robust, scalable, and maintainable implementations.
• Operate as a highly hands‑on individual contributor, actively participating in coding, design reviews, and day‑to‑day engineering execution within an embedded team model.
• Ensure high engineering standards across the stack, including code quality, modular architecture, testing rigor, usability, and long‑term maintainability.
• Drive execution discipline and delivery outcomes, ensuring the platform is production‑grade, scalable, and aligned with rapid iteration needs enabled by AI‑assisted development.

Expertise You'll Bring:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 5+ years at Principal Engineer / Senior IC level building large‑scale full stack platforms in enterprise environments.
• Proven experience designing and delivering end‑to‑end full stack systems that combine rich user interfaces, scalable backend services, and data‑driven workflows.
• Demonstrated ownership of architecture and delivery for multiple large‑scale platform programs with measurable impact on scalability, performance, usability, and time‑to‑market.
• Active hands‑on engineer, currently building production‑grade applications across frontend and backend, reviewing PRs, and driving engineering standards.
• Strong experience working in embedded/forward‑deployed engineering models, collaborating directly with product and stakeholders to translate evolving requirements into scalable systems.
• Extensive usage of Claude AI or equivalent AI coding assistants as a core development accelerator‑demonstrated impact on engineering velocity, code quality, and GTM timelines.
