Work with our team and clients to understand business requirements, translate them into a technical roadmap, and execute.
Contribute to internal frameworks, toolkits, and best-practice playbooks that improve delivery quality.
Turn demos into production-ready services. Containerized, tested, observable, secure, and built to scale.
Strong full-stack developers with a deep interest in Generative AI.
5+ years of software engineering experience with a bachelor's degree or equivalent.
Excellent English communication skills, written and verbal. You'll be on client calls regularly and need to explain technical decisions clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Track record owning projects through the full lifecycle, from requirements to handoff.

Expert knowledge of React and Next.js.
Familiarity with shadcn and Vercel AI Elements UI libraries.
Experience implementing LLM features (Gemini, GPT, Claude) into traditional applications and workflows, beyond basic chatbot interfaces.

Familiarity with LangGraph / LangChain and at least one of OpenAI Agents SDK or Claude Code Agents SDK. Bonus: Vercel AI SDK.
Proficiency in at least one SQL database (PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, or MySQL) and at least one NoSQL database (Cosmos DB, DynamoDB, or Firebase).
Strong experience with Docker and microservice architecture.
Cloud experience with a strong subset of: Azure (Container Apps, Pipelines, Function Apps, AI Foundry), GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud Build, Vertex AI), AWS (Lambda, S3, ECS, Bedrock).
Platform experience with Vercel and Supabase. CI/CD with GitHub Actions.
Bonus: Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
Observability: Implementing usage telemetry, structured logging, and centralized cloud logging.
Incident Management: Setting up bug report alerting, triaging workflows, and CI/CD integrations.
Security & Operations: Proficiency in secret management, secure coding practices, and managing database schema migrations.
0-to-1 Execution: Ability to take a project from a vague idea to rapid prototype, to production-ready service.
Proactive Management: Provides consistent updates on progress, maintains an immediate roadmap, and identifies potential tradeoffs early.
Communication & Documentation: Creates clear documentation and explains complex technical concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Decision Making: Strong product thinking; able to prioritize features based on business value and ask the right questions to resolve ambiguity.
Work from anywhere. We're distributed and async-first, with a low meeting culture: typically 1-4 meetings a week.
Performance reviews every quarter with clear paths to raises and bonuses.
Every team member gets Claude Code Max and Codex Pro subscriptions, plus any other AI tool you want to use.
Engineers run the work. No layers of project managers or status meetings between you and the code.
