## About the role

Own E2E projects that cross all areas of software development including full stack web apps, agentic AI solutions across multiple work activities, extensive integrations with PMS and CRM systems, infrastructure, and internal tooling. Architect, build, and deploy production AI agents using modern agent frameworks, owning the full lifecycle from design to reliability in production.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of working up and down the stack including distributed systems
- Comfortable working on frontends, backends, infrastructure, and databases. You’ll deliver the solution regardless of what’s needed, no anticipation of handoff to a different specialist
- Strong proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript — the languages of our stack
- Ability to work across ambiguity and drive projects from problem definition through production deployment independently
- Clear, direct communicator who can translate complex technical architectures for non-technical stakeholders
- Experience designing and shipping AI solutions in production — not just prototypes. You've owned AI systems that real users depend on
