Job Description

We're looking for a skilled Senior Full Stack Engineer to build and enhance the core applications that power our AI-driven solutions. You'll apply your robust full-stack development expertise to strengthen and expand the platform supporting our advanced language model initiatives and Generative AI capabilities. This role involves working closely with our machine learning experts to integrate and operationalize LLM-powered services, leveraging your primary Node.js skills with opportunities to use Python for AI model integration. If you're an engineer who enjoys building solid, scalable software and is excited by the applied AI space, we'd like to hear from you.

What You’ll Build & Own:

You'll be central to developing the core platform and operationalizing our LLM and Generative AI capabilities:

  • Production Web Applications: Develop and enhance React frontends and Node.js backends that serve as the foundation for, and increasingly integrate, advanced language model capabilities and Generative AI services.

  • Robust APIs and Integrations: Engineer and maintain critical, well-tested APIs for core platform functionalities, data exchange, and LLM inference, supporting integration with internal ML teams and partners.

  • Developer & Experimentation Tools: Create internal dashboards and tools that support core development and streamline our research-to-production pipeline for AI models, including tools for prompt engineering and testing.

  • Scalable Data Systems: Architect backend systems for managing core application data, user interactions, and preparing for the integration of model outputs and vector databases for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), with a strong focus on data privacy and responsible AI.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Lead the development of intuitive and performant React frontends and Node.js backends for our platform, incorporating LLM-powered applications and Generative AI features.

  • Architect, build, and maintain robust and scalable web APIs using Node.js (Hapi.js) for core services and AI service delivery.

  • Design relational database schemas and implement efficient queries supporting evolving ML workflows.

  • Integrate applications with various internal services, third-party APIs, and data sources, with an increasing focus on language model services.

  • Develop internal tools that improve development velocity for the core platform and facilitate the efficient transition from AI experimentation to deployment.

  • Champion software quality through comprehensive testing and contribute to CI/CD processes for both core platform and AI-driven systems.

  • Collaborate with product managers on core platform features and with ML developers and AI researchers to define requirements for integrating AI capabilities.

  • Take ownership of full-stack features from conception to deployment, monitoring, and iteration, including projects with a significant AI component.

  • Contribute to technical architecture decisions for the platform, ensuring its capability to support current and future AI applications.

Required Experience & Skills:

  • 7+ years of full-stack development with experience building production web applications.

  • Strong Node.js experience (e.g., Hapi.js, Express).

  • 5+ years of modern React development (JavaScript/TypeScript).

  • Solid relational database experience (MySQL preferred), including schema design and query optimization.

  • Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs.

  • Commitment to code quality and testing.

  • Excellent problem-solving and collaboration skills.

Bonus Points:

  • LLM-Assisted Development: Use of AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor).

  • Python Proficiency: Familiarity with Python and its libraries (e.g., LangChain, Hugging Face Transformers) for machine learning or NLP.

  • ORM Expertise: Experience with Sequelize or similar ORMs.

  • ML Application Experience: Background working with ML teams or consuming machine learning model APIs.

  • Understanding of LLM Challenges: Insight into developing with Large Language Models (e.g., prompt engineering, context management, fine-tuning).

  • Cloud Native Development: Experience with AWS services (e.g., Lambda, S3, SageMaker) for AI workloads.

  • Data-Intensive Applications: Experience with large datasets, streaming, or vector embeddings.

  • Internal Tooling: Building tools that improve team productivity for AI projects.

  • Knowledge of RAG Architectures.

  • Experience with AI/machine learning technologies is strongly preferred

Target Base Salary Range: $89,300 - $178,600

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
