About This Role

We are seeking a senior full-stack engineer with strong end-to-end software engineering experience and practical experience delivering enterprise Generative AI (GenAI) applications. You will combine modern React and TypeScript frontend development with Python backend engineering, Large Language Model (LLM) integration and cloud-native delivery.

You will bring 5–8+ years of professional software development experience, including strong full-stack expertise, alongside at least 1–2 years of hands-on experience developing GenAI/LLM-powered applications, preferably in production environments.

The role provides end-to-end ownership across solution design, implementation, testing, deployment and production support, with a focus on scalable enterprise applications, microservices, RESTful APIs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Microsoft Azure technologies.

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop scalable, enterprise-ready full-stack GenAI applications
• Build and maintain Python backend services, microservices and RESTful APIs using frameworks such as FastAPI or Django
• Develop modern, responsive and reusable web interfaces using React.js, TypeScript/JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3
• Integrate frontend applications with backend APIs, including state management, authentication and performance optimisation
• Integrate LLMs using Azure OpenAI, OpenAI APIs or equivalent platforms
• Design and implement RAG pipelines using embeddings, vector databases, semantic or hybrid search and document retrieval
• Develop prompt engineering approaches, structured outputs, LLM orchestration, tool/function calling and AI-agent workflows
• Build reusable GenAI components and shared platform capabilities
• Apply asynchronous programming, background processing and external API integrations where appropriate
• Work with SQL and NoSQL databases while optimising application performance, logging and error handling
• Implement authentication and authorisation using technologies and standards including OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect and JWT
• Ensure secure API development, data protection, application reliability and production readiness
• Develop unit, integration and automated tests
• Use Docker, Git and CI/CD pipelines to support cloud-native deployment
• Monitor and optimise LLM response quality, latency, reliability and token/cost efficiency
• Collaborate with Solution Architects, DevOps engineers, product owners and cross-functional engineering teams
• Contribute to technical design decisions and mentor junior engineers
• Support production troubleshooting, optimisation and continuous improvement
