• Design, implement, and support client-side and server-side architectures, from responsive web apps to CLI & SDKs that connect AI agents with customer data.
• Advocate for best practices in full stack engineering: automation, CI/CD workflows, observability, testing, quality, security, and performance.
• Collaborate with leadership to shape the engineering roadmap, balancing new AI and MCP features with scalability, governance, and customer adoption.

Minimum Requirements

• 5+ years of full stack engineering experience, with direct operational responsibility (oncall exposure preferred) in distributed cloud-native systems.
• Strong AWS expertise (e.g., Lambda, API Gateway, Cognito, DynamoDB, Glue, Athena).
• Fluency in at least one backend language (TypeScript or Python preferred).
• Experience building responsive web apps and backend APIs, using modern frameworks and automation/testing best practices.
• Ability to plan projects, communicate clearly, and deliver high-quality results in a fast-paced environment.
• Bachelor’s degree in CS/Engineering/Math or equivalent experience.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Must be authorized to work in the United States.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AI governance, compliance, or responsible AI frameworks.
• Background integrating cloud data into LLM-powered applications or AI agent workflows.
• Familiarity with data engineering best practices for analytical and operational systems.
• Hands-on experience with analytical platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery.
• Prior startup experience delivering B2B SaaS or infrastructure services.

Compensation:

• Compensation decisions are determined using a variety of factors and individual qualifications.
