Senior Full Stack Engineer (AI)

This is a senior engineering seat with genuine end-to-end ownership… not a backend role that occasionally touches the frontend. You will take a problem from idea to shipped solution, working across the stack and, where needed, beyond your own team’s codebase. AI is not a policy here, it is how the best engineers already work, and you will be expected to use it fluently across design, development, testing and review. The culture rewards judgement and initiative over process: engineers see an issue and fix it, rather than waiting for a ticket. If you want autonomy, a real product mindset and a team that has already moved past debating whether AI belongs in the workflow, this is built for you., * Own features end-to-end, from idea and design through to shipped, production-ready code
