What You’ll Be Part Of:
You’ll join a high-impact engineering organization building the foundational technology that powers our entire product suite. As a Full-Stack Engineer, you are central to our Creative, Audience, and Outcomes pillars. Your mission is to be a force multiplier: you won't just write code; you will architect AI-augmented workflows that bridge the gap between visionary UI and robust, high-throughput data pipelines. Whether you are leveraging LLMs to accelerate frontend prototyping or building self-healing backend systems, your work directly impacts how we create, who we reach, and the tangible results we deliver.
Responsibilities:
- AI-First Development: Lead the adoption of AI-augmented development environments (e.g., Kiro, Cursor, Copilot) to accelerate the entire lifecycle, from rapid UI prototyping in React to optimizing complex backend logic.
- Full-Stack Orchestration: Design and implement extensible features that unify sleek user experiences with resilient backend services and low-latency data pipelines.
- Intelligent Data Pipelines: Author and maintain scalable pipelines (streaming/batch) that incorporate AI-driven transformations, anomaly detection, and automated scaling to ensure data integrity from source to screen.
- Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Serve as the go-to expert for full-stack patterns and AI literacy, coaching the team on prompt engineering, automated refactoring, and the ethical integration of AI into production code.
- Quality & Observability: Drive a "shift-left" testing strategy using AI to generate comprehensive test suites (Jest, Cypress, Integration) and build AI-driven monitoring to predict and mitigate system failures.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with product and design teams to align technical strategy with the project vision, ensuring that backend capabilities unlock ambitious, AI-powered frontend experiences.
- System Health: Own on-call responsibilities, update runbooks, and leverage AI diagnostics to streamline incident investigation and platform stability.
Qualifications and Education Requirements:
- Extensive Full-Stack Experience: Proven track record of building shareable frontend components and complex backend infrastructure, with a strong focus on React, TypeScript, and languages like Node.js, Python, or Go.
- AI Mastery: Deep proficiency in AI-assisted development and a proven ability to integrate AI APIs and Vector Databases into production-grade applications.
- Data & Pipeline Expertise: Strong understanding of data structures, distributed systems, and database optimization (SQL/NoSQL) within high-scale environments.
- Quality-Driven Engineering: Expertise in test automation and maintainable patterns, utilizing AI to enhance coverage and efficiency.
- Architectural Vision: Proven ability to author technical designs for complex, multi-team projects where AI and human-written code coexist seamlessly.
- Communication & Impact: Ability to communicate complex technical strategies to both technical and non-technical audiences, focusing on outcomes and user-centric design.
