About the Role
We are looking for a highly skilled Full Stack Developer who embraces the future of software engineering. We believe in AI first software engineering; we want an engineer who is deeply comfortable with modern technologies such as TypeScript, Next.js, Vite, NestJS, Express, Postgres etc., but who also leverages the latest AI tools to ship higher-quality code, faster.
You aren't a "code purist" who avoids AIβyou are a velocity-driven engineer who knows how to use LLMs, agentic workflows, and rapid prototyping tools to eliminate boilerplate and focus on solving complex architectural problems.

Key Responsibilities
- AI-Augmented Engineering: Utilize AI tools (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.) to accelerate development cycles while maintaining a high bar for code quality and security.
- Rapid Prototyping: Leverage platforms like Replit and Lovable (or similar "AI-first" IDEs) to quickly iterate on features and validate ideas before moving them into our core Azure-based production environment.
- Front-End Excellence: Build sleek, performant UIs using React and Tailwind CSS.
- Back-End & API Design: Architect robust, scalable microservices using Express and NodeJS, ensuring all AI-generated code meets our standards for dependency injection and modularity. Familiar with auth frameworks, like Better Auth, to ensure robust security between front-end and backend apis.
- Databases. Familiar with Postgres and how to integrate with apis
- Cloud-Native Architecture: Design and deploy resilient systems on Azure, utilizing cloud-native patterns (Serverless, Container Apps, and managed DBs).
The "AI-First" Mindset
Prompt Engineering: You know how to guide an LLM to produce valid, complex code patterns rather than just simple snippets.
Discernment: You know when to let the AI drive and when to take the wheel. You can spot "hallucinated" code or suboptimal patterns immediately.
Tooling Curiosity: You stay on the pulse of the "AI for Devs" space (e.g., v0.dev, Replit Agent, Lovable) to continuously improve our team's workflow.
Technical Requirements
- Core Stack: 4+ years of professional experience with TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS or other similar modern frameworks.
- Back-End: Deep experience with Node.js and API frameworks like NestJS or Express.
- Cloud: Solid experience with Azure (App Service, Azure Functions, CosmosDB).
- Modern Workflow: Demonstrated experience using AI coding assistants to build and ship production-ready applications.
- Architecture: Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture, CI/CD pipelines, security and scalability design.
Nice to Haves
- RAG Pipelines: You have built RAG pipelines using vector databases and cloud and/or open source models in Python.
- Fast API: You have built API endpoints for your Python pipelines.
- Familiar with tools like Qdrant and Ollama.
Qualifications
- Experience: 4β7 years in software engineering.
- Adaptability: You thrive in an environment where the tooling changes every six months.
- Security-Minded: You understand the risks of AI-generated code (e.g., secret leakage, insecure defaults) and know how to mitigate them.
