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


Qualifications

Required
  • 0-3 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.
