Full Stack Software Engineer, AI Integration
Dearborn, MI - USA
Job Summary
We are moving beyond Chatbots. We are building AI-native applications where LLMs arent just featuresthey are the core engine. As a AI Full Stack Engineer you will architect systems where autonomous agents navigate complex business logic utilize the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to interact with live data and provide users with seamless real-time streaming experiences.
You arent just a software engineer; you are an AI Orchestrator bridging the gap between non-deterministic model logic and high-performance software engineering.
Responsibilities
1. Agentic Orchestration & Logic
Design Autonomous Loops: Transition from linear chain workflows to self-correcting agentic loops using frameworks like LangChain LlamaIndex or CrewAI.
Tool-Use Architecture: Design and implement robust tool-calling capabilities ensuring LLMs can reliably interact with external APIs and microservices.
MCP Integration: Build and maintain Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to bridge the gap between LLMs and our proprietary data silos securely and in real-time.
2. Full Stack AI Delivery
High-Concurrency Back-end: Develop asynchronous Python (FastAPI) or Java services optimized for long-running AI tasks and token streaming.
Streaming Front-end: Build responsive stateful UIs in React or Angular that handle complex AI interactions (streaming text generative UI components and multi-modal feedback).
Advanced RAG Pipelines: Go beyond basic vector search. Implement re-ranking query transformation and embedding optimization to maximize retrieval precision.
3. AI Engineering Excellence
Context Optimization: Master the Context Window by implementing prompt compression and lost-in-the-middle mitigation strategies.
Evaluation & Observability: Establish AI Evals to quantify hallucination rates latency and cost. Lead the shift from vibes-based testing to rigorous automated AI benchmarking.
DevOps/MLOps: Manage CI/CD pipelines that include vector database migrations and automated prompt versioning.
Qualifications
- BS in Computer Science or Engineering related field
- 5 years of total software engineering experience
- 2 years focused on AI integration
- Technical Requirements:
- AI Frameworks: 2 years of professional experience with LangChain LlamaIndex or Google ADK.
- AI Development Tools: GitHub Copilot (IDE & CLI) Claude Code Cursor or similar agentic coding assistants.
- System Design: Ability to architect end-to-end AI-native systemscovering data flow latency budgets failure modes scaling strategies and LLM integration patterns.
- Back-end Mastery: 3 years designing and building Python (FastAPI/Flask) or Java (Spring Boot) services with expertise in async patterns distributed systems and API design.
- Front-end Precision: 2 years designing real-time streaming UI systems in React or Angular with a focus on state management WebSocket/SSE patterns and component architecture.
- Data Architecture: Expert knowledge of SQL (PostgreSQL/pgvector) and Vector Databases (Chroma Qdrant or Pinecone).
- Cloud Infrastructure: Hands-on experience with GCP (Vertex AI) or AWS (Bedrock).
- Modern DevOps: Experience with Git Docker KubernetesTerraform and CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins).
- What Sets You Apart:
- The Agentic Mindset: You have a proven track record of moving models from answering questions to completing multi-step tasks.
Prompt Engineering as Code: You treat prompts as production codeversioned tested and optimized for deterministic outcomes. - MCP Expertise: You understand the future of data grounding and have experimented with or implemented Model Context Protocol servers.
- Growth Agility: You stay ahead of the curve moving fluently from RAG-based architectures to Long-Context model strategies as the landscape shifts.
- The Agentic Mindset: You have a proven track record of moving models from answering questions to completing multi-step tasks.
