To learn more, visit www.displai.ai\nAbout the Role\nWe're hiring a Software Engineer to build agentic AI features into the Displai CMS. You'll ship LLM-powered workflows end to end across our TypeScript/Node backend and React frontend, working alongside senior engineers and the VP of Engineering. This is a build role for someone already fluent with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, MCP) who wants to apply that fluency to a production product running at scale. AI is collapsing the distance between engineering and product, and we're looking for someone who can think like a product builder, drive projects independently, and ship at the pace these tools now make possible.\nWhat You Will Be Doing\nBuild agentic features into the Displai CMS, from prototype through production rollout\n\nDesign and implement LLM-driven workflows: tool use, structured outputs, evaluations, prompt iteration\n\nContribute to our MCP server work and help expose more of our platform to AI agents\n\nOwn features end to end: scoping, backend APIs, frontend UI, monitoring, and iteration based on customer use\n\nDrive projects independently. Make product calls in flight, prototype to validate ideas, and bring partners in when it matters rather than waiting for specs\n\nCollaborate with product, design, and senior engineers on scoping and trade-offs\n\nUse AI coding tools as a force multiplier and help raise the bar for how the team uses them\n\nWhat We are Looking For\n1 to 4 years of professional software engineering experience\n\nStrong fundamentals in TypeScript/Node and React, including modern React patterns (hooks, state management, component composition)\n\nSolid backend skills: designing and building REST APIs, writing performant SQL against relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar), and reasoning about schema design and migrations\n\nComfortable with HTML/CSS, responsive UI work, and component-driven frontend development\n\nWorking knowledge of Git, code review practices, testing (unit and integration), and CI/CD workflows\n\nHeavy day-to-day user of agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent). You can talk specifically about what you've built with them and where they fall short\n\nProduct sense and ownership. Agentic AI compresses build cycles, which means engineers need to make more product calls in flight: scoping trade-offs, judging when something is good enough, and driving projects to outcomes without waiting for spec hand-offs. We're looking for engineers who think like product builders, not just implementers\n\nComfort working across the stack: backend services, frontend, and the glue between them\n\nBias toward shipping. You'd rather have a rough version in production than a perfect one in a branch\n\nClear written communication and a low-ego collaboration style\n\nPreferred qualifications\nShipped agentic or LLM-powered features in a production product\n\nBuilt or contributed to MCP servers\n\nExperience with evals, prompt engineering at scale, or agent orchestration frameworks\n\nBackground in B2B SaaS, multi-tenant systems, or content management platforms\n\nExperience with NoSQL or caching layers (Redis, DynamoDB, etc.)\n\nFamiliarity with message queues, background jobs, or event-driven architectures\n\nExposure to AWS, Docker, and modern observability stacks (logs, metrics, traces)\n\nExperience with TypeScript on the backend (NestJS, Express, or similar) and ORMs (Prisma, TypeORM, etc.)\n\nExperience with Go, particularly for performance-sensitive services or backend tooling\n\nPerks/Benefits at Displai\nFull medical and dental plans\n\n401(k) plan\n\nFlexible PTO and paid holidays\n\nBe a part of a high-performance team\n\nOne of the first 50 people in a SaaS Start-up\n\nDisplai is proud to be an equal employment opportunity employer that values diversity in hiring and gives consideration to all candidates regardless of their race, age, creed, color, religion or religious belief, national origin or ancestry, disability, military or veteran status, genetic information, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, or any other characteristic protected by local, state, or federal law.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5013,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hardware","Pro AV & Digital Signage"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-26T04:05:22Z"}],"liveness":{"score":6,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.227,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":120,"expected_fill_days":15,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-09-27T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/displai-systems-software-engineer-agentic-ai","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/displai-systems-software-engineer-agentic-ai.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-28T00:25:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":77,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":4923,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-29T00:00:00Z"}}}
