We are an equal‑opportunity employer and do not discriminate based on any protected characteristic under applicable law.

Full Stack Engineer

We’re hiring a full‑stack engineer who is comfortable across all parts of the stack (Python, JavaScript, React/Vue, APIs, AI/LLM integration) and can help ship production‑grade UI using established designs and component libraries. You must be able to own and deliver full end‑to‑end features across the stack.

• Design, build, and maintain backend services in Python, including REST/GraphQL APIs and integrations with internal and external systems.
• Implement and integrate AI/LLM‑powered workflows (e.g., RAG, agentic workflows, orchestration, prompt/guardrail patterns).
• Work across our agentic platform stack to connect services, tools, and data sources into reliable, observable workflows.
• Translate UX designs and design systems into clean, maintainable frontend code (React), wiring up APIs, state, and components.
• Collaborate with product, UX, and other engineers to break down requirements, estimate work, and deliver in iterative increments.
• Write readable, testable code with appropriate unit/integration tests and participate in code reviews.
• Help ensure engineering standards, tooling, and CI/CD practices for secure, scalable AI workloads.
• Diagnose and resolve issues across the stack (backend, integrations, and frontend behavior).
• Use agentic development for rapid quality code and be excited about staying at the forefront of AI skills.

Must have

• 4+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time in Python building production services.
• Hands‑on experience integrating with LLMs or AI services (e.g., AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, AgentCore).
• Strong experience with API design and implementation (REST/JSON; GraphQL a plus).
• Solid understanding of data modeling, persistence, and integration (SQL/NoSQL, queues, event‑driven patterns, etc.).
• Working proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (React preferred; Vue/Angular acceptable with willingness to work in React).
• Ability to take Figma/wireframes/design specs and implement responsive, accessible UI using a component library / design system (Tailwind + component kits).
• Experience with cloud‑native development on at least one major cloud (AWS preferred) and containerization/orchestration concepts.
• Familiarity with secure coding practices, authentication/authorization patterns (OAuth/OIDC, RBAC), and observability (logging, metrics, tracing).
• Comfortable working in an agile environment with iterative delivery, backlog tracking (e.g., Jira), and collaboration tools.

Nice to have

• Experience building or integrating with agentic AI workflows (multi‑agent graphs, tools, guardrails, human‑in‑the‑loop flows).
• Knowledge of event‑driven architectures, message buses, and workflow engines.
• Experience with infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CI/CD in cloud environments.
• Background working on platform or shared services used by multiple product teams.
• Familiarity with design systems and reusable UI component libraries (shadcn, Material).

What You’ll Do

• Own a feature end‑to‑end: from API design and AI integration through to a functional UI, without heavy supervision on the frontend.
• Move quickly but safely, shipping incremental value while maintaining code quality, reliability, and security.
• Collaborate well with product, UX, and other engineers, and operate comfortably in an evolving enterprise AI platform context.
