Full Stack Software Engineer AI Applications

Who You Are

An agent orchestrator not a typist. You dont want to be a faster keyboard. You want to be a manager of agents handing off the heavy lifting reviewing the output and keeping your hands on the architecture. The IDE is a cockpit for orchestration not a text editor.

Productively lazy. Your dream workflow: describe the requirement let the agent build it verify ship next. You automate anything a human shouldnt be doing twice. Your biggest bottleneck should be deciding what to build while AI executes the how.

Fundamentals first. Data structures algorithms distributed systems networking you understand the machine not just the library that wraps it. When a framework breaks you fix it. When AI gives you the wrong answer you catch it. Orchestrating agents only works if you can tell good output from garbage.

First-principles thinker with vision. You break problems to their core question the assumptions and rebuild. A software engineers job is to architect solutions not wrestle with syntax. You dont copy an architecture because thats how its done you ask why and decide if theres a better way.

High agency. You dont wait for perfect specs or permission. You find a path propose it and move. Large organizations have walls; you figure out which ones to go through around or remove and you do it constructively.

Bias for action. Requirements will be messy and priorities will shift. You ship v1 learn and iterate instead of living in design review.

What Youll Do

• Orchestrate agents to build. Use AI as your default way of working agents do the heavy lifting you direct review and harden. You set the bar for how the team builds with AI.
• Build the AI use cases. Design and ship AI-powered applications and agents RAG pipelines LLM integrations agentic workflows. Understand whats happening under the hood and make it work in production at scale.
• Ship cloud-native systems on GCP. Design deploy operate. You own the architecture the infrastructure-as-code and the CI/CD pipeline. No throwing code over the wall.
• Connect systems that dont want to be connected. Build the integration layer across enterprise SaaS platforms. Expect messy APIs legacy constraints and creative problem-solving.
• Automate what shouldnt be manual. If a human repeats it you write the code or point an agent at it to stop it.
• Make other engineers faster. Build the tools agent workflows and guardrails that remove friction. Developer productivity is a multiplier.

What You Bring

• Python deep. You write production systems not just scripts.
• JavaScript / TypeScript React or equivalent. A real frontend and a real API. Front-end strength is a big plus.
• AI engineering LLMs embeddings vector stores RAG. Comfortable building agents and evaluation pipelines. Bonus for fine-tuning or eval work.
• AI-assisted development fluent with modern AI coding tools and agent workflows and clear-eyed about where they help and where they dont.
• GCP Cloud Run Cloud Functions GKE BigQuery Cloud Storage. Deployed and operated not just tutorials.
• Databases relational and NoSQL. You know when to use what and why.
• APIs & microservices designed and built RESTful services at scale.
• Git IaC & CI/CD Terraform Cloud Build or equivalent. Reproducible version-controlled infrastructure and disciplined code review.

Requirements

• BS in Computer Science Electrical Engineering or a related field. MS is a plus not a substitute for shipping software.
• 2 years building and deploying full-stack applications in production.
• 2 years on cloud-native platforms (GCP preferred).
• Demonstrable experience building AI agents or applications show us what youve built not what youve read.

Why This Role

Ford is a 120-year-old company moving fast on AI and thats the real challenge: building world-class AI applications inside a large enterprise with real constraints security compliance legacy systems. The engineers who thrive here treat those constraints as problems to solve not reasons to stop. If you want a place where everything is already figured out this isnt it. If youre a 10x thinker who wants to build something that matters and have the grit to push through the hard parts lets talk.
