Founding Full Stack Engineer (execution Lead)

Durban, ZN, ZA, South Africa

Job Description

OUR HIRING PROCESS:




We will review your application against our job requirements. We do not employ machine learning technologies during this phase as we believe every human deserves attention from another human. We do not think machines can evaluate your application quite like our seasoned recruiting professionals--every person is unique. We promise to give your candidacy a fair and detailed assessment. We may then invite you to submit a video interview for the review of the hiring manager. This video interview is often followed by a test or short project that allows us to determine whether you will be a good fit for the team. At this point, we will invite you to interview with our hiring manager and/or the interview team. Please note: We do not conduct interviews via text message, Telegram, etc. and we never hire anyone into our organization without having met you face-to-face (or via Zoom). You will be invited to come to a live meeting or Zoom, where you will meet our INFUSE team. From there on, it's decision time! If you are still excited to join INFUSE and we like you as much, we will have a conversation about your offer. We do not make offers without giving you the opportunity to speak with us live.


INFUSE is committed to complying with applicable data privacy and security laws and regulations. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy

B2B Contract | Full-time | Remote | Python + Next + AWS





We're building

INKHUB

, an AI-powered discovery engine for 1M+ high-quality marketing assets. Think of it as the semantic search layer for B2B content - structured, searchable, and continuously refreshed.



We're looking for a

hands-on founding full-stack engineer

to own

execution across backend, frontend, and infrastructure

, taking defined product and system decisions and turning them into a reliable, scalable platform.



This is a

build-first role

: you will ship core systems end-to-end, surface risks early, and propose implementation alternatives - while

product priorities and system-level trade-offs remain founder-led

.



What You'll Do




Implement and operate

a raw document ingestion pipeline and freshness scheduler
(e.g. S3 + SQS / EventBridge / Lambda or equivalent)
Build and extend backend APIs (Flask / FastAPI) to support: + Page claiming and editing + Authentication (Google / LinkedIn SSO, magic links)
+ Role-based access control and usage tracking
Own delivery of the

Next (TypeScript + MUI)

admin dashboard: + Asset review workflows + User roles and permissions
+ Usage and system analytics
Integrate the

semantic search API

into the UI Implement

SEO-critical mechanics

Set up and maintain

CI/CD pipelines

(GitHub Actions / Jenkins) Deploy and operate services on

AWS

using Docker + Helm (EKS or ECS) Add lightweight platform protections (rate limiting, basic bot mitigation) Monitor system health Proactively surface risks, scaling concerns, and implementation trade-offs

Role Boundaries (Important)




This role

owns execution

, not product definition System-level decisions (relevance, freshness rules, SEO strategy, prioritization) are

out of scope

You are expected to: + Translate specs into working systems + Propose alternatives with clear trade-offs
+ Escalate ambiguity early rather than guessing

Our Stack




Backend:

Python (Flask + FastAPI), PostgreSQL, Redis

Frontend:

React, TypeScript, MUI

Infra:

Docker, Helm, AWS (S3, Cognito/Auth0, EKS/ECS)

Pipelines:

SQS, EventBridge or Celery

APIs:

OpenAPI 3

CI/CD:

GitHub Actions, Jenkins

You Might Be a Fit If...




You've shipped and operated

production-grade full-stack systems

You're comfortable owning execution across backend, frontend, and infra You can work from

defined constraints

and deliver reliably You communicate clearly, surface risks early, and don't over-engineer You enjoy being hands-on and accountable for what ships

Why This Role Matters





You'll be responsible for turning INKHUB's product and system decisions into a

real, working platform

. Your execution will directly determine speed, stability, and the quality of the user experience as the product moves from prototype to real-world usage.
