The Full Stack Engineer (AI & Agentic AI Systems) is a strategic professional who will play a pivotal role in architecting and delivering next‑generation intelligent applications that blend advanced software engineering, autonomous agents, and robust end‑to‑end engineering. In this role, you will work across the entire technology stack— REACT based front ends, designing scalable backend services (JAVA/Python), intuitive user experiences, and AI‑driven workflows that reason, plan, and act with minimal human intervention. You’ll collaborate with cross‑functional teams to transform complex business challenges into innovative, production‑ready AI systems that push the boundaries of automation, intelligence, and modern software engineering.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and deliver end‑to‑end solutions spanning architecture, system design, low‑level design, and high‑quality coding across modern full‑stack environments.
- Build responsive, modular UI applications using React, integrating complex AI-driven workflows and real‑time interactions.
- Develop scalable, high‑performance backend services in Java / Python, implementing resilient APIs, event‑driven patterns, and microservices architectures.
- Strong expertise in SQL (Oracle, PostgreSQL), no SQL DB like MangoDB, PYTHON, JAVA, APIs, Authentication & Authorization like OAuth and others, Encryption
- Engineer AI‑powered features leveraging Google Gemini LLM, Vertex AI, ADK, vector databases (A2A), RAG pipelines, MCP, context engineering, and advanced prompt engineering techniques.
- Implement secure, well‑structured REST and GraphQL APIs, ensuring reliability, versioning discipline, and clean integration patterns across platforms.
- Optimize system performance and scalability, applying profiling, load‑testing insights, caching strategies, and distributed system tuning.
- Drive robust CI/CD practices, integrating automated testing, code quality gates, containerization, and cloud‑native deployment pipelines.
- Partner with QE to build and maintain automated test suites (UI, API, integration, and performance), improving release quality and reducing regression risk.
- Identify, diagnose, and remediate performance bottlenecks, penetration testing vulnerabilities, and production issues with precision and root‑cause clarity.
- Collaborate cross‑functionally with AI scientists, architects, and product teams to translate business challenges into production‑ready, intelligent agentic systems.
Other Responsibilities:
- Accountable for executing and driving mid-size feature application design and development efforts to completion, serving as a development lead on medium-scale projects and supporting the execution of larger efforts.
- Proficient at operating with considerable autonomy and discretion as you will significantly influence the way an application is designed and developed by providing subject specific expertise and an advanced level of understanding of application programming principles.
- Sought after due to ability to analyze and troubleshoot coding, application performance and design challenges.
