The Mission: Moving from Web-First to AI-First:
This company generates massive volumes of critical research data, covering everything from oil price impacts to global market trends. They are currently undergoing a major architectural shift to ensure their users—such as bank traders—interact with this data not just through traditional
websites, but via autonomous AI agents and Co-pilots.
As an AI Full Stack Developer, you will be at the forefront of rebuilding the platform's entire architecture to be AI-first. You will help transition the service from a "Web/API-first" model to one driven by intelligent, autonomous workflows.
The Full Stack Software Engineer will be required to:
- Architect Autonomous Agents: Design and build agents and MCP servers to automate complex research and content generation workflows, such as auto-generating charts and reports.
- Full Stack Execution: Maintain a "Full Stack" mindset with a split of roughly 70% Python and 30% React/Typescript, picking up standard frontend or backend tasks whenever required.
- Implement RAG & LLMs: Work with custom LLM wrappers, prompts, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) rather than training base models from scratch.
- Direct Infrastructure: Use your expertise to direct the DevOps team on the specific infrastructure needs required for AI at scale.
- Lead Quality: Own data quality and implement automated unit, integration, and performance testing for microservices-based components.
