About the Role
We are looking for a Full Stack AI Engineer for a start-up client based out of San Francisco, CA USA.

Availability for 40 hours/week with reasonable overlap (4+ hours) with US PST working hours for regular syncs and connect
The engineer should be able to work independently, with progress discussions every one to two days.
Start-up client builds AI software that helps venture capital and growth equity investors perform due diligence. The product turns data-room documents and other company evidence into source-backed analysis that helps investors decide what to believe, question, and investigate further.
Client is looking for one hands-on, product-oriented full-stack engineer who can help turn the existing product into a reliable working application. This person should be comfortable taking features end-to-end, from requirements through implementation, testing, and deployment.
What the engineer will work on
Build product features end-to-end across the backend and frontend.
Develop Python APIs, data workflows, and document-processing systems.
Build and refine the user interface using TypeScript, React, and Next.js.
Build LLM and agentic workflows involving structured outputs, retrieval, tool use, evaluations, and observability.
Use AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and ChatGPT effectively while reviewing, understanding, and being responsible for the resulting code.
Handle deployment, debugging, testing, and basic application monitoring.
Maintain clear technical documentation and keep the codebase understandable and maintainable.
Work independently, communicate progress clearly, and raise blockers early.
Required experience
Typically 3-6 years of software engineering experience, although demonstrated ability matters more than a specific number of years.
Strong Python backend development.
Working experience with TypeScript and React; Next.js experience is preferred.
Experience building APIs, working with databases, and shipping complete product features.
Practical experience building production LLM-powered applications or agentic workflows, beyond basic chatbot prototypes.
Evidence of personally taking features from requirements through implementation, testing, and deployment.
Comfortable working in an early-stage environment with changing requirements, ambiguity, and substantial responsibility and autonomy.
Helpful, but not required
Voice-agent or conversational-AI experience.
Experience with LangGraph, LangFuse, or similar agent, tracing, and evaluation tooling.
Experience with document processing, retrieval systems, financial data, fintech, or enterprise workflows.
Experience deploying and operating applications on a major cloud provider.
