Full-Stack AI Engineer - 1562

Responsibility

The Full-Stack AI Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, deploying, and maintaining secure and scalable web applications, with a strong focus on AI-enabled development and AI application integration. The role requires strong full-stack engineering capabilities across React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, modern AI coding tools, database-as-code, cloud, and DevOps practices.

• Own end-to-end application development across frontend, backend, database, AI integration, testing, and deployment.

• Design and develop responsive and maintainable applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js.

• Develop secure and scalable backend services, APIs, and integrations.

• Design and manage PostgreSQL schemas, migrations, and data models using database-as-code practices.

• Use AI coding assistants and agents effectively for development, testing, debugging, refactoring, and documentation while ensuring generated code is reviewed and validated.

• Develop AI-enabled application features through integration with LLMs and Generative AI APIs, including structured outputs, tool/function calling, RAG, and agentic workflows where applicable.

• Develop automated tests and proactively identify and resolve defects.

• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing, database migration, and deployment.

• Apply secure development practices covering authentication, authorization, API security, secrets, data protection, and AI-specific security risks.

• Continuously evaluate emerging AI and software engineering technologies to improve developer productivity and application capabilities.
