Full-Stack AI Engineer
About the Role
This is a hands-on building role. You'll work across the full stack — backend services, AI agent systems, frontend features, and the infrastructure that holds it all together. On any given day you might be wiring up a new LLM-powered workflow, building a REST API endpoint, debugging a real-time notification pipeline, or shipping a new feature in the dashboard.
We don't need someone who draws architecture diagrams. We need someone who writes code, ships it, and iterates fast. If you've built production AI features — not demos, not prototypes — and you use AI tools to accelerate your own development, this is your kind of role.
What You'll Do
- Build and extend AI agent systems — design agent workflows, implement tool calling and function execution, manage multi-turn conversations, and orchestrate LLM interactions across multiple providers
- Ship backend features end-to-end — API endpoints, database models, background jobs, third-party integrations, and the business logic that ties them together
- Work on the frontend when needed — build and iterate on dashboard features, real-time chat interfaces, and AI-powered UIs using React and Next.js
- Build and maintain integrations — connect with external platforms (CRM, messaging, payments, productivity tools) and keep those integrations reliable at scale
- Improve AI quality — work on prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, knowledge base ingestion, and retrieval systems that make our agents smarter and more reliable
- Ship with velocity — use AI-assisted development tools daily to move faster than teams three times our size
What We're Looking For
- You ship production AI features. You've built LLM-powered systems that real users rely on — agent workflows, RAG pipelines, chat interfaces, or AI-driven automation. Not hackathon demos.
- You're an AI-native developer. You use Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar tools as a core part of how you write and ship code.
- You're strong in Node.js and modern JavaScript/TypeScript. Our backend is Node.js. You should be comfortable with Express, async patterns, ORMs, and building reliable APIs.
- You know your way around databases. PostgreSQL, migrations, data modeling, query optimization.
- You can work across the stack. Backend is the core, but you're comfortable picking up React/Next.js work when a feature needs it.
- You're comfortable with cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, and cloud services aren't scary to you.
- You move fast and ship often. Small team, high velocity. You push code daily.
