The role combines modern front-end and back-end software engineering with practical experience integrating large language models, enterprise data, APIs, and business systems.\nThe engineer selects the implementation approach that best fits the problem and works across React, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python or Node.js, SQL, cloud services, APIs, AI frameworks, and shared enterprise services. The primary hiring bar is strong full-stack engineering, applied AI capability, sound technical judgment, and ownership of reliable production software.\nResponsibilities\nDesign, build, deploy, and support full-stack enterprise applications and workflows that use LLMs and agents to solve high-value business problems.\n\nTranslate product requirements and ambiguous user needs into scalable technical designs, implementation plans, and measurable outcomes.\n\nBuild responsive, accessible, intuitive user experiences using JavaScript/TypeScript, React, HTML/CSS, component frameworks, and modern web-development practices.\n\nDevelop back-end services, APIs, workflows, business logic, and data-access layers using Python, Node.js/TypeScript, SQL, REST, GraphQL, and cloud-native services.\n\nImplement AI capabilities including prompt and context design, retrieval-augmented generation, semantic/vector search, tool/function calling, structured outputs, agents, and human-in-the-loop workflows.\n\nIntegrate applications with enterprise systems, databases, data platforms, identity providers, approved model endpoints, and shared AI platform services.\n\nCreate AI evaluation approaches for correctness, groundedness, safety, task completion, user experience, latency, and cost.\n\nApply secure engineering practices for authentication, authorization, least privilege, secrets, data privacy, auditability, and responsible AI.\n\nBuild automated unit, integration, end-to-end, performance, and AI-specific tests.\n\nImplement deployment automation, monitoring, logs, traces, metrics, alerts, and support procedures for reliable production operation.\n\nCreate reusable components, services, connectors, patterns, and documentation that improve delivery speed and engineering consistency.\n\nMeasure application adoption, quality, reliability, user satisfaction, and business value; use the results to improve the product.\n\nPartner with the Product Manager, designers, architects, business stakeholders, AI Platform Engineers, data teams, and security teams to refine requirements and solution designs.\n\nDevelop and review front-end code, back-end code, APIs, database queries, workflows, AI features, prompts, tool definitions, and integrations.\n\nPrototype new experiences where uncertainty is high, then harden validated approaches for enterprise production use.\n\nWrite and maintain tests, evaluation datasets, documentation, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and support materials.\n\nParticipate in design reviews, code reviews, threat modeling, sprint planning, backlog refinement, releases, incident response, and retrospectives.\n\nMonitor application health, model behavior, retrieval quality, latency, cost, usage, and failures; diagnose issues and prioritize improvements.\n\nAddress defects, security findings, performance problems, dependency updates, operational issues, and technical debt.\n\nEvaluate new application and AI technologies against user needs and enterprise engineering standards.\n\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in computer science, software engineering, information systems, data science, artificial intelligence, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience.\n\n4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with demonstrated full-stack application development and production support.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nRelevant cloud, software engineering, security, data, or AI certifications are beneficial but not required.\n\nDemonstrated experience delivering business-facing applications from technical design through deployment and ongoing operation.\n\nStrong JavaScript/TypeScript, React, HTML/CSS, Python or Node.js, SQL, and web-application engineering skills.\n\nStrong knowledge of REST/GraphQL APIs, JSON, webhooks, asynchronous workflows, data modeling, and enterprise integration patterns.\n\nWorking knowledge of LLM APIs, prompt/context engineering, RAG, embeddings, vector search, tool/function calling, agents, structured outputs, evaluations, and guardrails.\nHands-on experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and React or a comparable modern front-end framework.\n\nHands-on experience with at least one back-end language, preferably Python along with SQL and API development.\n\nExperience integrating applications with relational or document databases, cloud services, authentication systems, and enterprise APIs.\n\nExperience with an AI application or agent orchestration framework, such as LangGraph, Google ADK, Semantic Kernel, or an equivalent technology, is preferred.\n\nPractical experience building with LLMs or other AI services, including one or more of prompt engineering, RAG, vector databases, agents, tool calling, evaluation, or model monitoring.\n\nExperience with Git, CI/CD, automated testing, observability, secure development, and production troubleshooting.\n\nCompensation and Benefits\nSalary Range $110,000.00 - $155,000.00 USD\nPay is determined based on experience, qualifications, and location.
