About the Role
The Software Engineer position involves designing, developing, and maintaining complete web applications, encompassing both the front-end (user interface) and back-end (server-side logic and databases). Software Engineers work across the entire development stack, from initial concept to deployment. They collaborate with other engineers, product managers, and designers to bring applications to life.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and ship customer-facing features for an AI-powered knowledge SaaS platform—from prototype to production.
Build responsive, component-based UIs using JavaScript/TypeScript and a modern React-based framework (e.g., Next.js, shadcn).
Integrate large-language-model workflows—prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-step AI agents—into the front-end experience.
Implement supporting APIs or micro-services in Python or Node.js; containerize with Docker and deploy via a cloud-native orchestration platform (Terraform, Google Cloud Run, or Kubernetes).
Collaborate with product and design teams, gather iterative user feedback, write design docs, conduct code reviews, and mentor junior engineers.
Telecommuting is permitted.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a closely related field and five (5) years in the job offered or a related occupation in software engineering:
One (1) years of working with LLM (large language model) in the context of front-end engineering
Production web application development using JavaScript/TypeScript and a React-based framework.
Building back-end services or APIs with Python or Node.js.
Experience designing and delivering at least one user-facing application that integrates large-language-models or AI agents via prompt engineering or retrieval-augmented generation.
Participating in agile development cycles, translating iterative user feedback into product features, and writing technical design documentation.
