Full Stack Staff Software Engineer — AI-Augmented Development

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Full Stack Staff Software Engineer who combines deep software engineering expertise with advanced proficiency in AI-powered development tools. This role is focused on hands-on building and delivery — a practitioner who ships production-quality code end-to-end across the stack while leveraging AI to accelerate development velocity, improve code quality, and drive innovation.

Key Responsibilities

• Hands-On Build & Delivery
• Own features from concept through production release, writing and shipping high-quality code daily
• Build, test, deploy, and iterate rapidly across frontend, backend, APIs, and data layers
• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, performance bottlenecks, and complex bugs
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment automation
• Contribute to architectural decisions and design discussions as a practitioner, ensuring designs translate into solid implementations
• Own system reliability, performance, and security for the services you build
• Full Stack Implementation
• Build and ship modern frontend applications using frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue.js with TypeScript
• Develop, deploy, and operate robust backend services using Java (Spring Boot), Node.js, Python, or .NET
• Implement and optimize RESTful APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and event-driven integrations
• Configure and manage cloud-native infrastructure (AWS or GCP) including containers, serverless, and infrastructure-as-code
• Build and tune data layers across relational and NoSQL databases, caching, and message queues
• Write clean, well-tested, production-ready code with a focus on maintainability and operational excellence
• AI-Augmented Development
• Leverage AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Opus, etc.) to dramatically accelerate development workflows
• Use AI tools for code generation, refactoring, test writing, documentation, and code review
• Integrate large language model (LLM) APIs and AI/ML services into applications (e.g., OpenAI, GCP Vertex, AWS Bedrock)
• Design and implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, prompt engineering strategies, and AI-powered features
• Evaluate, select, and champion AI tools and practices that improve team productivity
• Develop custom agents, workflows, and automations using AI platforms and frameworks (Vertex Studio, Semantic Kernel, CrewAI, etc.)
• Establish guardrails, security practices, and governance for responsible AI usage in engineering
• Technical Leadership & Mentorship
• Influence engineering culture by evangelizing AI-augmented development practices
• Train and upskill team members on effective use of AI tools in their daily workflows
• Contribute to internal knowledge bases, tech talks, and communities of practice
• Partner with product, design, and data science teams to identify AI-driven opportunities

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with 5+ years in hands-on full stack tech lead roles
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Frontend: Expert-level proficiency building production applications with modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (React, Angular), HTML5, CSS3, responsive design, and accessibility standards
• Backend: Deep hands-on experience building and operating services with Java/Spring Boot, Node.js/Express, Python/FastAPI/Django
• Cloud & DevOps: Strong hands-on experience deploying and operating on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
• Data: Proficiency building and optimizing data layers with SQL and NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis), data modeling, and query tuning
• API Implementation: Proven track record building RESTful APIs, GraphQL services, gRPC endpoints, or event-driven integrations (Kafka, RabbitMQ)
• AI Tools Proficiency: - Advanced daily usage of AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent)
• Experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, GCP Vertex Service) into production applications
• Familiarity with prompt engineering, fine-tuning, embeddings, and vector databases
• Track record of measurably improving team velocity through AI tool adoption
• Testing: Strong testing practices including unit, integration, and end-to-end testing with modern frameworks
• Architecture: Working knowledge of distributed systems, microservices, and event-driven patterns; ability to contribute to and implement architectural designs

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building AI/ML-powered product features (chatbots, intelligent search, recommendation engines, content generation)
• Familiarity with AI orchestration frameworks (LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, CrewAI)
• Experience with agent-based AI architectures and autonomous workflows
• Contributions to open-source projects or published technical content
• Experience in regulated industries (insurance, finance, healthcare) with security and compliance requirements
• Certifications in cloud platforms (AWS Solutions Architect, GCP Professional Cloud Architect, etc.)
