About the Role

We are seeking an experienced AI Native Full Stack Engineer who is comfortable with both

front-end and back-end programming to join our dynamic team.

As a Full Stack Engineer, you will work closely with the Product, Design, Data Science, DevOps

and Engineering teams to build highly scalable and highly available web applications. You will

have end-to-end ownership of features—from understanding the problem and designing the

solution to implementation, testing, deployment and ongoing maintenance.

We are also looking for engineers who are truly AI-native : people who use AI as a force

multiplier in their day-to-day engineering work, while retaining strong technical judgment and

ownership of the solutions they build.

AI-Native Engineering

• Use AI coding tools as a core part of the software development workflow to accelerate

design, implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation.

• Apply strong engineering judgment when working with AI-generated code: validate

assumptions, identify incorrect or unsafe suggestions, and confidently override or rewrite

AI output when required.

• Use AI effectively across the full development lifecycle while maintaining ownership of

code quality, architecture, security, performance, and reliability.

• Continuously explore and adopt new AI-powered engineering tools and workflows that

improve development velocity without compromising engineering standards.

Job Responsibilities

• Truly AI-native: Proficient in using AI coding tools to accelerate development and

problem-solving, with the engineering judgment to recognize when AI-generated code,

assumptions, or solutions are incorrect and override them when necessary.

• Full-stack engineering capabilities: Comfortable owning and delivering across the full

stack—including front-end, back-end, databases, testing, deployment, observability, and

maintenance—with AI assistance.

• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals and the ability to

independently reason about architecture, trade-offs, debugging, performance, security,

and reliability, rather than relying solely on AI-generated solutions.

• Proficiency in AI-assisted coding practices to increase development velocity and

experience integrating AI-driven features or APIs into modern web applications.

• Work closely with fellow Engineers, Product Managers, Data Scientists and Designers to

define, refine and implement features across the product line.

• Work closely with DevOps to build frameworks and tools, define standards (e.g. API

contracts), and improve overall development efficiency through practices such as CI/CD

and codebase hygiene.

• Work on complex engineering problems to improve the scalability, security and reliability

of our platform.

• Design, build and maintain high-quality, production-grade software across the front end,

back end, databases and supporting services.

• Take end-to-end ownership of features, including architecture, implementation, testing,

deployment, monitoring, debugging and ongoing maintenance.

Requirements

• Bachelors in Computer Science or other related Degrees.
• Min. 4 years of experience in similar roles. Experience in tech start-up is a plus.
• Strong proficiency in JavaScript, and the JavaScript object model
• Experience with TypeScript would be advantageous
• Familiarity with modern front-end build pipelines and tools
• Experience with AWS, RESTful/RPC services, C++/Java/Golang and related system programming languages. Having experience of Golang is a plus.
• Experience with NoSQL (e.g., Redis/MongoDB), message queue (e.g., Kafka/Kinesis), and relational databases (e.g., MySQL).
• Experience with Docker, proficient in CI/CD flow on AWS or GCP.
• Proficiency in AI-assisted coding practices to increase development velocity and experience integrating AI-driven features or APIs into modern web applications.
• Strong understanding of system performance and scaling, Demonstrated ability to design, build, and deliver complex, successful web services and/or customer experiences efficiently and with quality.
