About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack / Applied AI Engineer to join a small, high-impact team working at the intersection of product engineering and AI-driven solutions.

This is not a traditional full-stack role. It’s a highly autonomous, product-focused position where you’ll take ownership from idea to production, working across backend, frontend, architecture, and AI-enabled features. You’ll operate in a fast-paced, low-process environment, translating ambiguous stakeholder needs into working solutions while balancing rapid delivery with long-term quality.

You’ll work across both improving an existing Python-based application and building new AI-powered solutions, often prototyping and shipping within short timeframes. This role requires strong engineering judgment, a proactive mindset, and the ability to bring structure and best practices into an evolving environment.

### Responsibilities
  • Translate ambiguous stakeholder requirements into structured solutions, user flows, and deliverables
  • Design system architecture, making decisions around scalability, maintainability, and security
  • Build and deliver end-to-end features across frontend and backend with full ownership
  • Rapidly prototype AI-enabled solutions and evolve them into production-ready systems
  • Improve and scale an existing Python-based application, addressing backlog, performance, and UX gaps
  • Define and implement UX flows and usability improvements (not visual design, but user journeys)
  • Integrate with APIs, including AI-driven services, and design robust data flows
  • Apply secure development practices and ensure systems are reliable and maintainable
  • Balance speed of delivery with long-term engineering quality and structure
  • Contribute to and elevate engineering practices (architecture, SDLC, testing) through hands-on work
  • Collaborate with stakeholders and team members while operating with a high degree of independence
  • ### Requirements
  • Strong experience with Python (5+ years) in production environments
  • Proven experience in system design and architecture (5+ years), including making trade-offs
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Codex, Claude, or similar) in real workflows
  • Strong experience integrating APIs, including AI or data-driven services (3+ years)
  • Solid frontend experience with React and modern JavaScript/HTML (3+ years or equivalent frameworks)
  • Experience owning features or products end-to-end, from concept to delivery (3+ years)
  • Strong understanding of SDLC, engineering best practices, and code quality standards
  • Experience working in ambiguous environments and shaping requirements independently
  • Proven ability to prototype quickly and deliver at pace (2+ years)
  • Strong stakeholder communication skills and ability to translate business needs into technical solutions (5+ years)
  • Good understanding of UX flows and usability principles (2+ years)
  • Experience working with databases and data modelling (3+ years)
  • Understanding of secure development practices (3+ years)
  • Experience handling data pipelines or ETL processes (2+ years)
  • High ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently in a low-structure environment
  • ### Nice to Have
  • Experience working in small, high-autonomy teams without dedicated QA or BA support
  • Exposure to building AI-powered products or LLM-based workflows in production
  • Experience improving engineering maturity (architecture, testing, SDLC) within teams
  • Familiarity with rapid prototyping tools and experimentation environments
  • Strong product mindset with the ability to balance user needs, business goals, and technical constraints
  • ### Benefits
  • Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
  • No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words
  • Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided
  • Support That Matters: Mentorship, community, and forums where ideas are shared
  • True Belonging: A long-term career where your contributions are valued
  • 5-Day AI Training: Hands-on AI Academy onboarding to get you building with AI from day one
  • At Smart Working, you’ll never be just another remote hire.

    Be a Smart Worker - valued, empowered, and part of a culture that celebrates integrity, excellence, and ambition.

    If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear your story.
