AE Studio - Senior Full Stack Developer (AI Driven)
Requirements
• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience. • Proven track record shipping production applications (links to live products welcome). • Hands-on experience with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic), embeddings, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks. • Strong command of modern web stacks (e.g., React/Next.js, Node.js/Nest/Fastify, Python/FastAPI) and cloud infrastructure. • Solid grasp of architecture, scalability, performance, and security. • A bias toward shipping with best practices (testing, code reviews, monitoring/observability). • Clear communication, self-management, and comfort in a collaborative remote environment. • Comfortable picking up new languages and frameworks, leveraging modern AI dev tools to move faster. • What Sets You Apart • What Sets You Apart • Experience fine-tuning models or training custom models on domain-specific data. • Contributions to open-source AI or developer tooling. • Mature approach to prompt engineering and evaluation (beyond trial-and-error). • Background in data engineering or MLOps. • Passion for AI alignment, agency-increasing technologies, and ethical AI development. • If you can write prompts that work today and code that still works in two years, we want to talk to you. • Salary range from $115k/year to $185k/year (if you're based in LA). Not in the range? That's fine, you can still apply and our team may fit you in a more senior position that we're not actively hiring for right now, since we are growing fast and may have other openings soon. • EQUITY • Working at AE means receiving equity in our client projects and in Skunkworks ventures. The equity is priced at $0 when granted for tax reasons, but AE invests millions into these projects. Equity comes from reduced margins on client work and internal funding. You get a real stake in the things you help build. • The longer you stay, the more value you create and the more equity you receive. If you leave on good terms, you can retain 20% of your equity by staying engaged. If you spin out a Skunkworks venture, you retain 100%.
Responsibilities
• Design and ship end-to-end applications from prototype to production across frontend, backend, and cloud. • Build clean, scalable APIs and services and integrate AI models where they create real value. • Create AI pipelines (data ingestion, preprocessing, embeddings, retrieval, orchestration) that are reliable and maintainable. • Engineer prompting strategies and guardrails for real-world performance (latency, cost, accuracy), not just demo hype. • Integrate AI features into full-stack apps with robust APIs, frontend UX, and CI/CD pipelines. • Collaborate with designers, PMs, and engineers to deliver polished product experiences. • Continuously evaluate new AI tools/models for performance, cost, and fit. • Write production-grade, testable, maintainable code in TypeScript/JavaScript and Python (and other languages as needed).
