What You'll Actually Do

You won't be writing CRUD APIs or building login pages. Here's what a typical week looks like:

  • Build a conversational AI system that processes payment data and answers business questions in natural language

  • Design a RAG pipeline that ingests 500+ documents and serves accurate answers with source citations

  • Integrate Claude/OpenAI APIs into a Next.js app with streaming responses, error handling, and cost optimization

  • Write and iterate on prompts until they produce structured, reliable outputs across edge cases

  • Set up evaluation pipelines to measure AI output quality before shipping

  • Debug why the embeddings retrieval is returning irrelevant chunks and fix the chunking strategy

  • Deploy an AI automation workflow that replaces 10 hours of manual work for a client

Must-Have Skills (Non-Negotiable)

AI/LLM (this is the core of the role):

  • You have built and deployed at least ONE AI-powered feature or product (not a tutorial, not a Kaggle notebook - something with real users)

  • Working experience with LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, or similar)

  • Understanding of RAG - you know how to chunk documents, generate embeddings, store them in a vector DB, and retrieve relevant context

  • Prompt engineering for structured outputs - not just chatting with ChatGPT, but designing prompts that return reliable JSON/structured data

  • Familiarity with at least one: LangChain, LlamaIndex, Vercel AI SDK, or similar orchestration framework

Engineering (you must be a strong developer first):

  • 3–5 years of professional software development experience

  • Strong JavaScript/TypeScript - this is our primary language

  • React or Next.js - you've built complex frontends, not just todo apps

  • Node.js backend development

  • API design and third-party integrations

  • SQL or NoSQL database experience

  • Git, CI/CD, deployment workflows

Good-to-Have Skills

  • Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, ChromaDB, Weaviate, Qdrant)

  • Fine-tuning or training ML models

  • AI agent frameworks (CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph)

  • Supabase, Firebase, or similar BaaS platforms

  • Experience with payment systems or fintech

  • Python (secondary to JS/TS but useful for AI tooling)

What We're Looking For (Mindset)

You use AI daily as a developer. Cursor, Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT - AI is already part of how you write code, debug, and think. If you're still coding everything from scratch without AI assistance, you're behind.

  • You build, not just learn. We don't care about certifications or courses. Show us something you've shipped.

  • You think in systems. You don't just complete tickets — you understand how pieces connect and you design for scale.

  • You move fast. We're a small team. You'll ship features in days, not sprints.

  • You take ownership. No hand-holding. You pick up problems and solve them end-to-end.
