As a Lead Full Stack Engineer, you will play a hands-on role in building the core of our innovative systems, tackling interesting engineering challenges, and bringing AI-powered products to life. In this role, you will work across both frontend and backend development, collaborating closely with other engineers and entrepreneurs to create robust, scalable applications for our human-facing AI ventures. We need someone who loves to build, someone who isn’t afraid to dig into the code, solve tough problems, and create impactful products from scratch. If you are passionate about making things work and seeing your work have an impact, this role is perfect for you.
Key Responsibilities:
• Develop and maintain full stack applications for web and mobile platforms, ensuring scalability and performance.
• Collaborate closely with other developers, designers, and product managers to build products that are intuitive and impactful.
• Lead and mentor a small team of junior and intern software engineers, providing direction, oversight, and support to ensure successful project delivery.
• Contribute to building common tools and libraries that can be used across multiple AXL ventures.
• Work on integrating AI and LLM capabilities into products, using tools such as OpenAI APIs, Llama, and machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
• Participate in architecture decisions and provide input on technical approaches to solve complex problems.
Required Skills:
• 5+ years of experience as a full stack engineer, building and scaling web and mobile applications.
• Proficiency in frontend frameworks (e.g., React) and in backend technologies (e.g., Node.js/TypeScript, Python).
• Experience with cloud services (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) and databases (SQL, NoSQL); familiarity with managed Postgres/BaaS platforms (e.g., Supabase) and PaaS deployment (e.g., Railway) is a plus.
• Experience with AI/ML tools and frameworks (e.g., OpenAI APIs, Llama) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) methodologies is highly preferred; familiarity with TensorFlow or PyTorch is a plus.
• Exposure to data and workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Dagster) is a plus.
• Passion for building impactful technology and willingness to take on challenges.
• Ability to work independently, as well as collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
