The role requires expertise in TypeScript, NestJS, React, and SQL, alongside experience with GCP, containerization, and CI/CD. You will also implement observability practices, mentor junior engineers, and debug complex production issues. This position focuses on the intersection of full-stack development, cloud-native automation, and applied AI to solve business problems by integrating secure data sources and automating high-impact processes while ensuring robust guardrails and evaluation practices for all integrated AI components.

  • Build AI-integrated workflows including RAG pipelines, structured LLM calls, and automation orchestration.
  • Integrate securely with finance systems and data sources to enable reliable automated processes.
  • Establish high-quality testing, logging, tracing, and observability practices for all applications.
  • Improve engineering velocity by leveraging AI coding tools and validating their outputs.
  • Provide architectural input during design reviews and identify potential system weaknesses.
  • Debug complex production issues and implement safeguards to prevent recurring failures.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 3-5+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong full-stack development experience.
  • Practical experience integrating AI services including Vertex AI, OpenAI, RAG, embeddings, and tool/function calling.
  • Experience with CI/CD, containerization, and production observability.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently deliver complex projects while exhibiting strong debugging skills and system thinking.
  • Experience deploying cloud-native applications (GCP preferred) (preferred).
