Job description

We're hiring a Software Engineer to join our US engineering team and contribute meaningfully across our AI platform and product portfolio. This is a full-stack role with significant exposure to applied AI, data infrastructure, and enterprise automation. You'll write production code, own components end-to-end, and have a direct line of sight from your work to its business impact.

This role is a great fit for an engineer with a few years of full-stack experience who wants to grow into AI platform work and take on real ownership. You'll be one of a handful of engineers shipping software used across SOCOTEC's global business units.

Responsibilities

• Design and build features end-to-end across modern React frontends and Python (Django / FastAPI) backends
• Own components and small services — from spec through deployment and operation
• Contribute to AI-powered features: prompt engineering, agent workflows, RAG pipelines, and LLM integrations
• Participate in architecture and design discussions; influence technical direction as you grow into the role
• Write clean, tested, maintainable code and participate in code reviews
• Collaborate closely with engineering lead, DevOps, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into shipped software
• Help maintain and improve developer practices: CI/CD, testing, documentation, and operational excellence

Required

• 5-8 years of professional full-stack software engineering experience
• Strong proficiency with React (or comparable modern frontend framework) and Python (Django, FastAPI, or similar)
• Solid understanding of REST APIs, relational databases, and modern web application architecture
• Familiarity with containerized deployments (Docker)
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure) and CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions or equivalent)
• Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable working across time zones and with non-technical stakeholders
• Curiosity about AI/ML and a genuine interest in building AI-powered products

Strongly Preferred

• Experience integrating with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) in production
• Familiarity with one or more of: agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain), vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate), or RAG architectures
• Experience with modern data infrastructure (Databricks, Snowflake, Airbyte, or similar)
• Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Temporal, or similar)

Nice to Have

• Experience working on small engineering teams where individual ownership is high
• Exposure to enterprise SaaS or compliance-sensitive industries
• Background in AEC, construction tech, or industrial software.
