Job summary

Abaka AI in Silicon Valley is hiring a Member of Technical Staff, Platform, to build full‑stack product features for the Expert Talent platform—from early ideas in a product discussion to shipped, instrumented features in front of real customers.

You will work across the stack (FE and BE) and partner with product, design, and leadership to ship customer‑oriented solutions that scale in a growing, 1–100 stage environment.

Qualifications

• 1+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production features.
• Strong backend fundamentals: API design, data modeling, distributed systems.
• Comfortable working across the stack, including modern frontend frameworks (React/TypeScript).
• Experience building or integrating LLM-powered features in production is a strong plus.
• Knowledge in building AI Agents into productinos.
• Product-minded: you ask 'why should we build this' and 'is this the right solution' as naturally as 'how do I build this,' and you treat customer outcomes as the measure of success, not the technology you shipped.
• AI-native by default: you already use AI coding tools daily, and you've built or shipped features that use LLMs/AI.
• Solid engineering fundamentals: testing, debugging, performance basics, and the judgment to know when to invest in each.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and evolving priorities
• High ownership, pragmatism, and a bias toward shipping.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship full-stack product features — UI, API, and data layer — with a strong bias toward shipping and iterating quickly.
• Own features end-to-end, from product discussion through implementation, testing, and release.
• Embed AI directly into product workflows: AI-powered features, assistive UX, and automation that make the product feel intelligent, not just functional.
• Build evaluation pipelines and data models for AI-powered features
• Leverage modern AI coding tools to accelerate development while maintaining a high engineering bar.
• Partner closely with Product and Design to shape scope and UX, not just implement a spec handed to you.
• Improve the performance, reliability, and observability of assessment infrastructure.
