DETAILS:
This is an exclusive backfill of a consultant who has been with the end client for 6+ years. The team is building and maintaining a customer-survey–driven application that ingests survey inputs, feeds them into an internal LLM/AI layer, and uses that data to help answer questions, surface insights, and support future customer interactions. The work is centered around application development, not data engineering or model training - the AI/LLM component is already in place, and the engineer will focus on the application that interacts with it.
To succeed here, the engineer must be a true full-stack Python + React developer, able to build front-end features in React and implement backend services in Python/FastAPI. This is similar to a modern C#/.NET full-stack role - owning work from the API and database layer up through the UI, contributing across the full SDLC, and supporting a production system that underpins an AI-driven workflow.
This is a hands-on development role requiring depth in React, not hobby-level front-end experience, and strong practical Python engineering skills. It is pure application development - not data, analytics, or ML engineering.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and maintain full-stack application features in Python (FastAPI strongly preferred; Django/Flask acceptable background).
- Develop and integrate RESTful APIs that support an AI/LLM-backed survey-processing application.
- Deliver front-end features using React, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, with the ability to code live and work through detailed technical problem-solving.
- Handle database responsibilities - designing schemas, writing queries, and managing migrations for PostgreSQL/MySQL environments.
- Write automated tests, participate in code reviews, and ensure clean, maintainable code.
- Support the full SDLC from design through deployment and production support.
- Troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and collaborate with stakeholders in a long-running, business-critical application environment.
KEY SKILLS:
- React. Candidates must have at least 2–3 years of professional experience with React. Personal projects are not sufficient.
- Python with FastAPI with 1-2 projects using it in a professional setting. Django or Flask experience is nice-to-have, but not a replacement for that.
- 4-6+ years of full-stack software development experience.
- Strong background with REST APIs.
- Experience with PostgreSQL or MySQL and ORMs.
- Proficient with Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
- Solid understanding of OOP, testing, debugging, and clean code practices.
NICE TO HAVE REQUIREMENTS:
- Familiarity with LLM-based applications, embeddings, prompt engineering, or AI-driven analysis.
