Job Requirements
- 7+ years building production software across front‑end and back‑end; history of shipping complex systems.
- 2+ years building with Gen‑AI in real products.
- Expert with TypeScript/JavaScript and modern stacks (e.g., Next.js/React , Node/Nest/Express).
- Comfortable across data layers (Postgres/SQL, caches, vector stores).
- LLM‑assisted development expertise: You’ve materially increased velocity and quality using tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Copilot (or equivalents), and you know how to design prompts, break down problems, enforce tests, and review AI output safely.
- Solid grasp of security and compliance (authN/Z, RBAC/ABAC, audit, data residency, secrets, PII handling).
- Familiar with cloud + DevOps (Vercel/AWS/GCP/Azure), CI/CD, IaC (Terraform/Pulumi), and monitoring/observability.
- Leadership: proven experience guiding senior engineers, establishing patterns, and raising the bar; strong client‑facing communication.
- Domain bonus (nice‑to‑have): retail, hospitality, logistics, healthcare/life sciences.
