Employment Type: Full-time, permanent
Role Overview Description:
We are looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer who can build reliable software systems and bring modern AI capabilities into production. You will work across our Python, JavaScript, and Golang stack to develop backend services, user-facing applications, APIs, databases, and AI-powered workflows. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building practical products, moving quickly, and working at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI. You will help turn AI ideas into real systems that are scalable, observable, and reliable enough for production use.
Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and maintain full stack applications using Python, JavaScript, Next.js, Golang.
- Design and implement agentic AI workflows, including multi-step tasks, tool-using agents, memory, and multi-agent orchestration.
- Build and maintain AI Ops pipelines for LLM-powered systems, including deployment, monitoring, evaluation, prompt and version management, cost tracking, and observability.
- Integrate LLMs, AI models, APIs, data sources, and internal tools into production systems.
- Architect scalable systems covering service boundaries, data flow, caching, queues, retries, failure handling, and performance.
- Design clean database schemas and write efficient, reliable queries.
- Define and implement well-documented API contracts for internal and external users.
- Containerize and deploy services using Docker and Kubernetes.
- Work closely with product, research, and engineering teams to bring AI features from prototype to production.
- Own the reliability, scalability, and performance of the systems you build, including monitoring, alerting, debugging, and incident response.
- Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, technical planning, and product discovery.
- Move fast, ship thoughtfully, and continuously improve engineering quality.
- Collaborate with relevant stakeholders throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
- Contribute to technical documentation, runbooks and knowledge sharing to support long-term maintainability.
Requirements:
- Diploma/Degree or post graduate degree in Information System, Computer Science or Computer Engineering or equivalent.
- At least 1 – 6 years of experience building full stack applications, backend services, APIs, and production software systems.
- Strong professional experience in Python, JavaScript/Typescript.
- Working knowledge of Golang, or willingness to ramp up quickly.
- Experience with cloud and on-premise infrastructure.
- Experience with Docker and good-to-have experience with Kubernetes.
- Hands-on experience building or operating AI-powered systems, agentic workflows, or LLM-based applications.
- Familiarity with agent orchestration concepts such as multi-step reasoning flows, tool use, memory, multiple LLM calls, and multi-agent workflows.
- Practical understanding of AI Ops or MLOps concepts, including model or prompt versioning, evaluation pipelines, monitoring, observability, and production support.
- Solid understanding of system design principles, including scalability, reliability, caching, load balancing, and distributed systems trade-offs.
- Experience designing and consuming APIs such as REST, gRPC, or GraphQL, including authentication, versioning, and documentation.
- Experience with databases, schema design, query optimization, and data flow design.
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, communication, and ownership mindset.
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment with evolving priorities.
Preferred skills and experiences:
- Experience with LLM providers and APIs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, or open-source models.
- Experience with prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, or AI agent frameworks.
- Understanding of security concepts for both traditional software systems and AI systems.
- Experience with observability tools, logging, tracing, metrics, and alerting.
- Prior experience in a startup, fast-paced product team, or applied AI environment.
Why you should apply:
- Build real products that combine software engineering and applied AI.
- Work on agentic AI systems, LLM-powered workflows, and production-grade AI infrastructure.
- Move fast in a flat, low-bureaucracy environment.
- Work closely with product, research, and engineering teams from idea to production.
- Learn through courses, seminars, conferences, and hands-on experimentation.
- Gain access to cutting-edge AI tools, platforms, and technologies.
- Contribute to new product ideas and practical innovation.
- Play a role in strengthening Singapore’s position as a thriving innovation hub.
- Competitive remuneration and benefits.
