About the Role

We are seeking a product-minded Full-Stack Engineer with a strong foundation in Python/Django and a deep curiosity for artificial intelligence. In this role, you will architect robust mobile/ web applications, build scalable RESTful APIs, and integrate emerging LLM and AI technologies into our core platforms. You will own features end-to-end, from database design to front-end implementation, driving innovative solutions that solve real-world problems.

Primary Accountabilities

Full-Stack Development: Design, build, and maintain highly scalable web applications using Python, Django, and modern front-end frameworks like React.
AI Integration: Architect pipelines to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs), machine learning APIs, and vector databases (e.g., pgvector, Pinecone) into our applications to power smart, predictive, and generative features.
API & Systems Architecture: Design and implement RESTful APIs and WebSockets connecting front-end interfaces, back-end logic, and external AI/ML services.
Code Quality & Testing: Write clean, maintainable, and highly testable code. Lead comprehensive unit testing, performance testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT).
Performance Optimization: Debug complex issues and optimize application architecture for maximum speed, security, and scalability under heavy data loads.
Technical Ownership: Develop comprehensive system documentation, design technical specifications, and track development progress.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product, operations, and design teams to define and ship forward-thinking features, continuously incorporating user feedback.

Technical Requirements & Experience

Core Backend: 2-3+ years of professional coding experience in Python, with deep expertise in the Django framework.
Core Frontend: Solid understanding of modern JavaScript (ES2015+), HTML5, CSS3, and an appreciation for intuitive web interfaces. Familiarity with React is highly preferred.
AI Forward: Hands-on experience (or demonstrated capability) working with AI tooling: OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures.
Databases: Strong relational and NoSQL database experience (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB).
Web Technologies: Deep knowledge of web protocols (REST/HTTP, WebSockets) and object-oriented/functional programming paradigms.
Infrastructure: Proficiency in version control systems (Git) and managing cloud developer services.
Education: Computer Science (or related) degree.

What We Need From You

Problem Solver: Strong analytical skills with the ability to map complex realworld problems to elegant software solutions.
Autonomous & Collaborative: Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced team environment, managing your own time and project planning effectively.
High Standards: Demonstrated commitment to usability, design patterns, and engineering best practices.
Adaptable & Resilient: A results-driven mindset capable of meeting deadlines and navigating the fast-changing landscape of modern software and AI technology. (Note: Replaces the traditional "work long hours" requirement with a focus on impact, efficiency, and high-performance output).
