Job Description

AI-First Full-Stack Software Engineer (Mid-Senior)
Location: Remote
Type: Contract
About the Company
We are a premier AI services and advisory firm partnering with leading enterprises to solve their most complex business challenges. We design, build, and integrate bespoke AI-powered systems that deliver measurable impact.
We're not a traditional dev shop--we act as a strategic AI transformation partner. Our small, talent-dense team thrives on building production-grade systems that bring cutting-edge AI capabilities into real-world environments. We're now seeking full-stack engineers with an AI-first mindset to join us on the front lines of applied AI.
What You'll Do
As a Full-Stack Developer and AI Engineer, you'll be a key contributor on high-impact client projects, helping to design and build scalable, intelligent systems that integrate LLMs and AI tooling.
Architect & Build

• Design and develop scalable applications and AI-powered features using React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, and FastAPI
• Contribute to the full development lifecycle--from initial specs to production deployment

AI Integration & Feature Development

• Integrate LLMs and AI APIs (OpenAI, Claude, Cohere, HuggingFace, etc.) into intelligent user features and backend services
• Leverage frameworks like LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, and Bolt.new to build AI-native products
• Build AI-enhanced features such as chat interfaces, document summarization, auto-tagging, and agent workflows

Solve Client Problems

• Collaborate directly with internal and client teams to understand business needs
• Translate those needs into technical roadmaps and actionable development plans
• Contribute meaningfully in client-facing environments and technical conversations

Shape Internal Practice

• Help evolve internal frameworks, prompting libraries, and delivery playbooks
• Improve quality and efficiency across engineering workflows

Harden AI Prototypes

• Transform demos and experimental builds into production-ready services
• Ensure systems are containerized, observable, secure, and scalable

Who We're Looking For
We're looking for pragmatic full-stack developers who are comfortable owning the full lifecycle of web applications and actively integrate AI into their workflow.
You'll thrive here if:

• You are a full-stack problem-solver (frontend, backend, infra) who loves shipping products.

• You naturally incorporate AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf) and AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) into your daily development process.

• You've built LLM-powered features or integrated AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, etc.) into production systems.

• You communicate clearly, thrive in ambiguous situations, and balance velocity with quality.

• You enjoy the challenge of turning ideas into production-grade systems that scale.

Preferred Skills & Experience
Full-Stack Development:

• 5+ years building and shipping production web applications.

• Expert in Python and TypeScript/Node.js, with experience in modern frameworks (FastAPI, Express, Next.js, React, TailwindCSS, shadcn/ui).

• Strong understanding of REST & GraphQL APIs, relational databases (Postgres, Supabase), and caching (Redis).

AI-First Mindset:

• Experience building features with LLMs and AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace).

• Comfortable with agentic frameworks (LangChain, Vercel AI SDK) and AI-first developer tools (V0, Bolt.new, Lovable).

• Proficient at prompt engineering, unit test generation, and AI-assisted refactoring.

Cloud & Infrastructure:

• Hands-on experience deploying apps on AWS, GCP, or Azure.

• Proficient with Docker, container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS/Fargate), and infrastructure as code (Terraform/Pulumi).

• CI/CD setup using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI with automated tests, linting, and security checks.

• Experience with observability and performance tooling (OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Grafana).

Why This Role?

• Direct impact: Build AI-powered applications that solve real-world problems at scale.

• Work in a small, elite team where you'll own projects end-to-end.

• Push your skills at the intersection of full-stack engineering and AI innovation.

What Success Looks Like
Within your first 90 days, you will have shipped multiple full-stack features leveraging LLMs, integrated AI APIs into client products, and improved our delivery playbooks for faster, more reliable execution
