What is this role?

As a Software Engineer at FlapKap, you will play a pivotal role in building our tech. We are seeking talented full-stack engineers proficient in both standard software engineering practices and cutting-edge, AI-driven workflows. In this role, you will be tasked with developing deterministic flows utilizing specialized AI tools, enforcing spec-driven development, and executing rigorous full-cycle testing—including integration, validation, and end-to-end (E2E) testing within isolated environments.

This is a hands-on technical role for an engineer passionate about leveraging modern AI workflows alongside robust software engineering practices to drive the next generation of FlapKap's fintech platform.

Job Responsibilities:

• Design and build scalable full-stack applications and integration services.
• Develop and implement deterministic AI-driven workflows using specialized AI tooling.
• Follow and enforce spec-driven development practices across product and engineering initiatives.
• Manage full-cycle testing strategies, including unit, integration, validation, and E2E testing in isolated environments.
• Ensure system reliability, security, clean code practices, and maintainable software architecture.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven experience in full-stack development (frontend and backend) and building AI-driven workflows.
• Demonstrated capability to construct and control deterministic execution flows using AI tools and frameworks.
• Strong proficiency in spec-driven development methodology.
• Deep expertise in multi-level testing strategies (integration, validation, E2E) and establishing isolated testing environments.

Technical Skills & Competencies: (Must have)

Technical Skills:

• AI-Driven Spec-to-Code Mastery: Expert proficiency in translating product specifications into deterministic, high-efficiency code using AI tooling, with complete control over architectural design and code structure.
• AI Code Review & Deterministic Refinement: Advanced ability to audit, debug, and optimize AI-generated code, ensuring structural integrity, logic correctness, and performance before integration.
• AI Agent Orchestration & Control: Design and manage autonomous AI agents for complex task execution, maintaining predictable system states and robust error handling in agentic workflows.
• Deterministic Pipeline Engineering: Architect and control reliable, deterministic AI-driven pipelines, where every input-to-output cycle is verifiable and tested within fully isolated E2E environments.

Core Competencies:

• User-Centric Product Thinking: Ability to empathize with end-users and translate business needs into intuitive technical features, ensuring alignment with overall product vision.
• Strategic Roadmap Alignment: Understanding of product lifecycle and trade-offs, enabling informed technical decisions that balance immediate feature delivery with long-term scalability and business value.
