Job Description
We are seeking a versatile and talented Full Stack Software Developer to design, develop, and maintain robust and scalable software applications. As a core member of our development team, you will manage the full application lifecycle, from front-end user experience to back-end logic and data management. While your primary focus will be on software development, you will also play a crucial role in integrating pre-existing AI/ML models and services to build new, intelligent features within our applications. The ideal candidate has a passion for building user-centric software and is eager to explore and integrate emerging AI capabilities to create a more powerful product.
Key Responsibilities
Full Stack Application Development: Build and maintain web applications using modern front-end frameworks and robust back-end services.
Feature Integration: Implement new features and functionality across the application stack, from crafting user-facing interfaces to developing back-end APIs.
AI/ML Integration: Work with APIs and specialized cloud services to integrate pre-built AI/ML models (e.g., natural language processing, generative AI, or recommendation engines) into application features.
API Development: Design and develop RESTful or GraphQL APIs to enable communication between the front-end, back-end, and AI/ML services.
Automated Testing and Pipelines: Contribute to the development and maintenance of automated testing and deployment pipelines to ensure code quality and stability.
Database Management: Interact with relational and non-relational databases to manage data and optimize queries for application performance.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product managers, designers, and AI/ML engineers to understand business requirements and translate them into effective technical solutions.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance: Debug, maintain, and upgrade existing software, addressing issues across the entire application stack.
Qualifications
Required Skills and Qualifications
Technical Experience: 5+ years of experience in full stack software development.
AI Rapid Development: Strong experience with generative AI development tools (e.g., Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Codex CLI) to accelerate the software development lifecycle, including code generation, debugging, and workflow automation.
Back-End Development: Strong experience with server-side languages and frameworks such as Python (Flask, Django) and Typescript (Node.js).
AI/ML Knowledge (Integration Focus): Strong experience integrating pre-trained AI/ML models and APIs (e.g., OpenAI, AWS AI Services, Google Cloud AI). No primary experience in model training is required.
API Integrations: Strong experience designing, building, and consuming APIs.
Front-End Development: Strong experience in HTML, CSS, and Typescript using a modern front-end framework like React, Angular, or Vue.js.
Version Control: Proficiency with version control systems like Git.
Databases: Proficiency with database management systems, both SQL (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB).
Problem-Solving: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with a strong attention to detail.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with ReactJS development in NextJS.
Experience with developing CI/CD pipelines in Gitlab.
Experience working with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Experience with generative AI models and prompt engineering.
Experience in an Agile/Scrum development environment.
Proficient with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
