What you'll do

About the Role

As a Senior AI Software Engineer, you will transform business ideas into production-ready applications using modern full-stack frameworks and AI-powered design and development tools. With a strong frontend bias, you will lead the critical early stages of development—from concept and pre-totype to prototype—where design systems meet AI-augmented engineering.

You are a visionary technologist operating at the intersection of engineering excellence and AI innovation. Your mission is to oversee the entire concept-to-production pipeline, ensuring teams leverage advanced AI tooling to deliver enterprise-grade applications faster than ever before.

While you maintain a strong hands-on technical foundation, your primary focus will be strategic leadership: defining standards, optimizing AI-driven workflows, and mentoring a high-performing team of engineers and AI builders.

This role offers a unique opportunity to work within a world-class organization, gaining exposure to cutting-edge technology, complex business challenges, and long-term career growth.


Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic AI Integration
    Lead the adoption of AI design and development tools (e.g. v0, bolt,, Lovable) to significantly reduce development cycles while maintaining enterprise-level quality.

  • Architecture & Engineering Standards
    Define, document, and enforce technical standards for scalable, performant, and accessible full-stack applications.

  • Design–Development Synthesis
    Drive the integration of Figma-based design systems with AI-driven development workflows, enabling seamless and automated handoffs.

  • Operational Excellence
    Manage a ticket-driven delivery process using Jira, optimizing team velocity, documentation quality, and delivery predictability.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
    Act as a key bridge between Strategy, Creative, UX, and Technology teams to ensure AI-powered solutions align with complex business goals.

  • Backend & Data Strategy
    Oversee backend architecture and implementation using platforms such as Supabase, including SQL/NoSQL databases and secure authentication frameworks (OAuth, JWT).

  • API & Services Development
    Design and implement RESTful APIs and backend services to support modern frontend experiences.

  • Team Leadership & Mentorship
    Mentor developers and AI builders, promoting best practices, innovation, and continuous improvement across the team.


Qualifications

  • 6–10+ years of experience in full-stack development, with at least 3+ years in a technical leadership or management role.

  • Experience in startup, agency, or rapid prototyping environments is a strong plus.

  • Proven experience implementing AI-assisted design and development tools (e.g., v0, bolt, Lovable or similar) and workflow automation platforms such as n8n.

  • Deep expertise in modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Nuxt), TypeScript, and CSS frameworks (Tailwind).

  • Strong backend experience with languages such as Python, PHP, and Node.js.

  • Solid understanding of API design (REST, GraphQL), server-side logic, and database management.

  • Experience with authentication and security best practices (OAuth, JWT).

  • Strong knowledge of cloud platforms and deployment workflows (AWS, Azure, GCP).

  • Expert-level proficiency with Figma, including design systems, component libraries, and design tokens.

  • A portfolio demonstrating leadership of complex, AI-augmented, full-stack applications.

  • High attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and a passion for innovation.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.


Benefits

  • Opportunity to work on high-impact AI initiatives in enterprise environments

  • Collaboration within a highly senior technical team

  • Exposure to complex real-world ML challenges

  • Environment that values ownership, experimentation, and continuous improvement

  • Career growth aligned with technical depth and impact
