AXS is seeking a Product Developer to join our carbonhouse team in Charlotte, NC. This role will be geared toward someone who can operate across the full stack while deeply integrating AI into product experiences. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product thinking, and applied AI-ideal for someone who doesnt just build features, but shapes intelligent systems that deliver real user value.
Youll work on designing, building, and scaling applications that leverage modern AI capabilities (LLMs, embeddings, automation pipelines) alongside traditional web architecture.
What Youll Do- Design and build full-stack applications from concept to production (frontend, backend, APIs)
- Integrate AI capabilities into products (e.g., LLMs, vector search, AI workflows, agents)
- Collaborate with product and design to define features, UX, and system behavior
- Architect scalable backend systems and data flows (including API-first and event-driven patterns)
- Rapidly prototype and iterate on AI-driven features and products
- Evaluate and implement third-party AI tools, APIs, and infrastructure
- Optimize performance, reliability, and cost of AI systems
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
- Contribute to product strategy, not just implementation
Required Skills- Strong experience across the stack:
- Frontend: React, Next.js, Astro or similar modern frameworks
- Backend: Node.js, PHP, Python or similar
- APIs: REST and/or GraphQL
- Experience building and shipping production applications
- Familiarity with integrating AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
- Understanding of:
- Prompt engineering
- Embeddings and vector databases
- Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or similar)
- Solid grasp of data modeling and system design
Bonus Skills- Experience building AI-native products or features
- Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Upstash Vector)
- Experience with edge computing or serverless platforms
- Background in developer platforms or API-first products
- Knowledge of ML fundamentals (fine-tuning, evaluation, model selection)
- Experience with real-time systems or streaming data
- Startup or small-team experience (wearing multiple hats)
How You Work- Product-minded: you think in terms of user outcomes, not just code
- Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration
- Bias toward shipping and learning quickly
- Able to balance speed with scalability and maintainability
- Strong communicator across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Example Projects You Might Work On- Building an AI-powered search or recommendation system using RAG
- Creating internal tools that automate workflows using LLM agents
- Developing customer-facing features powered by generative AI
- Designing APIs that expose AI capabilities to other products
- Prototyping new AI-driven product ideas and taking them to production
