Full Job Description
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. What you'll do • 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. Core skills & experience 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, or similar). • 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 (e.g., 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 (e.g., shadcn, Material). What success looks like in this role • You can own a feature end to end: from API design and AI integration through to a functional UI, without heavy supervision on the frontend. • You move quickly but safely, shipping incremental value while maintaining code quality, reliability, and security. • You collaborate well with product, UX, and other engineers, and you're comfortable operating in an evolving Enterprise AI platform context. $160,000 - $190,000 a year The compensation range indicated in this posting reflects the On-Target Earnings ("OTE") for this role, which includes a base salary and any applicable target bonus amount.
