We're looking for a Full-Stack Developer who is strong in MERN, confident in Python backends, and excited to work hands-on with AI-powered systems. You'll build user-facing features and the AI-enabled services behind them from creator feeds to intelligent recommendations.


Responsibilities:


AI-Powered Product Development:

  • Integrate LLMs and AI services into product workflows (search, recommendations, assistants).
  • Work with AI/ML engineers on RAG pipelines, embeddings, and inference APIs.
  • Build backend services that power AI stylists, product tagging, and content intelligence.


Full-Stack Engineering

  • Build end-to-end features using React / Next.js + Node.js + Python (FastAPI).
  • Develop scalable REST APIs and microservices.
  • Own features from design discussion to production rollout.


Backend and Data:

  • Design APIs for feeds, reels, creators, products, and commerce.
  • Work with MongoDB, Redis, and SQL databases.
  • Build async jobs, webhooks, event pipelines, and background workers.


Frontend:

  • Implement AI-driven UX patterns (smart suggestions, auto-tagging, search).
  • Collaborate closely with product and design.


Engineering Excellence:

  • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code.
  • Improve performance, scalability, and reliability.
  • Participate in architectural decisions and code reviews.


Requirements:

  • Hands-on with LangChain, Haystack, or similar.
  • Experience with vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate).
  • Exposure to computer vision or image/video pipelines.
  • Startup or 01 product experience.
  • Docker, CI/CD, basic cloud deployment (AWS/GCP/Azure).


Core Stack:

  • 4-6 years of hands-on full-stack experience.
  • Strong experience with: React.js / Next.js, Node.js (Express / NestJS), Python (FastAPI preferred).
  • Solid understanding of REST APIs, auth (JWT/OAuth).

AI Awareness (Practical):

  • Experience integrating AI/ML APIs into production systems.
  • Familiarity with: LLMs (OpenAI, Mistral, LLaMA, Cohere), Prompt engineering basics, Embeddings and semantic search.
  • Understanding of RAG concepts and AI inference workflows.

Data and Systems:

  • MongoDB (schema design, aggregations).
  • Redis / caching.
  • Async processing and background jobs.
