Overview
This role supports the engineering, deployment, and operation of internal AI applications built on an established Python and Angular codebase and AWS-native architecture. The position is focused on production-quality full-stack software engineering and cloud deployment of AI-enabled applications rather than AI research or experimentation.
Responsibilities
The ideal candidate is a strong full-stack software developer with professional experience in Python back-end development and Angular front-end development, along with hands-on experience working in Git-based development environments, AWS CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and multi-environment AWS deployments. This individual should be capable of independently developing, testing, reviewing, deploying, and troubleshooting complete application features across the front end, APIs, back-end services, and AWS infrastructure throughout the software development lifecycle.
AI-assisted development tools may be used to improve productivity; however, the developer is expected to understand, validate, test, and take ownership of all code they produce. The successful candidate must be able to independently reason through software architecture, application logic, deployment issues, and production failures rather than relying primarily on AI-generated code.
Technical Responsibilities
Develop, maintain, debug, and enhance production-quality Python applications and AI services within an established internal codebase
Work effectively within Git-based development workflows, including branching strategies, pull requests, merge conflict resolution, code reviews, and release management

What We’re Looking For
5-7 years experience
We are looking for a hands-on full-stack software engineer who specializes in building AI-enabled applications and can work across an Angular front end, Python back-end services, APIs, and the AWS infrastructure required to operate those applications in a production environment.
The successful candidate should be comfortable taking a full-stack feature from requirement through Angular UI implementation, Python/API development, source control, automated testing, code review, CI/CD deployment, and production troubleshooting.
They should be able to navigate an existing codebase and AWS architecture, understand how front-end, back-end, data, and cloud components interact, and independently diagnose problems when applications, deployments, or services fail.
This role is best suited for an engineer who uses AI development tools to accelerate their work—not as a substitute for understanding software engineering fundamentals.
We value developers who can explain their design decisions, understand the code they commit, identify and correct issues in AI-generated code, and take ownership of the reliability and maintainability of the systems they build.
The Ideal Candidate Is
A strong full-stack software engineer with professional Python and Angular development experience and practical AI application experience
Proficient in Angular and TypeScript and able to independently develop production-quality user interfaces integrated with Python APIs
Able to own features end to end across the browser, API layer, Python services, data integrations, and AWS deployment environment
Highly proficient with Git and modern collaborative development practices
Comfortable with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and AWS deployments
Able to troubleshoot across code, infrastructure, pipelines, and cloud permissions
Comfortable working within an established architecture rather than rebuilding systems from scratch
Focused on maintainable, testable, production-quality software
Able to balance rapid AI development with security, reliability, and operational requirements
A collaborative team member who can contribute technically while helping other developers become more effective
Salary Range: $75,000 - $85,000/Year, DOE
