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.
