Job description

  • Design, develop, test, deploy, and support full-stack software applications and reusable asset components for the Tech Ex AI Assets portfolio.

  • Build and integrate Generative AI capabilities into software products, including APIs, prompt workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, model integration, and evaluation patterns where applicable.

  • Translate product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria into maintainable, reliable, and secure code in collaboration with product owners and product design.

  • Participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute to iterative delivery, estimation, backlog refinement, sprint planning, demos, and retrospectives.

  • Partner with architects and senior technical leaders to implement established architecture patterns and make practical engineering recommendations without owning enterprise architecture direction.

  • Contribute to engineering quality through code reviews, unit and integration testing, CI/CD practices, documentation, observability, and production support practices.

  • Apply responsible AI, data privacy, security, and compliance considerations when building AI-enabled features and internal software assets.

  • Mentor junior developers, share engineering best practices, and help raise the overall quality and consistency of the asset development team.

  • Troubleshoot defects, performance issues, and integration challenges across front-end, back-end, data, cloud, and AI service layers.

Requirements

  • Back-end: Node.js, Python, .NET

  • Front-end: React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3

  • Database / Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQL Server, data integration patterns, and vector search or embedding stores where applicable

  • Generative AI: Azure OpenAI, Databricks Machine Learning, LLM integration, prompt engineering, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation, and AI evaluation concepts

Patterns & Tools:

  • Patterns: REST APIs, MVC, MVVM, service-oriented architecture, event-driven patterns, and microservice concepts

  • Source Control / Delivery: Git, Azure DevOps, pull requests, branching strategies, and CI/CD pipelines

  • DevOps Tooling: Terraform, Docker, infrastructure as code, environment configuration, and deployment automation

  • Package Management: npm, NuGet

  • Testing / Quality: Jest, unit testing, integration testing, code review, static analysis, and defect triage

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field preferred, or equivalent experience required.

  • 5+ years of experience in full-stack software development with demonstrated ability to deliver production-quality software.

  • Strong working knowledge of object-oriented concepts, software design principles, algorithms, data structures, and design patterns.

  • Hands-on experience with modern application development using cloud services, APIs, databases, and CI/CD delivery practices.

  • Practical experience building or integrating AI, machine learning, Generative AI, or data-driven capabilities into software products; direct experience with Azure OpenAI, Databricks, LLM APIs, RAG, embeddings, or model evaluation is strongly preferred.

  • Comfortable working within a fast-paced, collaborative Agile/Scrum product environment with product owners, designers, architects, engineers, governance, and product success partners.

  • Able to follow architecture direction, contribute engineering design input, and make sound technical tradeoffs while remaining focused on hands-on asset development rather than architecture ownership.

  • Strong problem-solving, debugging, communication, and documentation skills.

  • Excellent communication skills with internal product, business, and engineering stakeholders.

  • Smart, versatile, and passionate about delivering high-quality code and learning new technologies and languages.

  • Experience coaching and mentoring junior developers.
