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
-
Hands-on experience integrating with LLMs or AI services (e.g., AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, AgentCore, or similar).
-
Solid understanding of data modeling, persistence, and integration (SQL/NoSQL, queues, event-driven patterns, etc.).
-
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.
-
Experience building or integrating with agentic AI workflows (multi-agent graphs, tools, guardrails, human-in-the-loop flows).
What success looks like in this role:
-
You move quickly but safely, shipping incremental value while maintaining code quality, reliability, and security.
