Full Stack AI Technical Lead

The Full Stack Technical Lead will lead the technical design, development, and delivery of modern full-stack applications, combining hands-on engineering with technical leadership. Working with Product Managers, Business Analysts, QA, DevOps, and other stakeholders, the role drives architecture and engineering best practices while guiding developers through mentorship and code reviews. A key impact area is integrating AI capabilities—such as LLMs and RAG—into applications and engineering workflows to build smarter, faster, and more scalable solutions.

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical design, development, and delivery of full-stack applications using Java/Spring Boot and modern frontend technologies
• Define and drive application architecture, coding standards, design patterns, and engineering best practices
• Provide technical direction and mentorship to developers through code reviews, design discussions, and technical guidance
• Develop scalable and secure REST APIs, microservices, and backend services using Java and Spring Boot
• Contribute to frontend development using technologies such as React, Angular, or similar frameworks
• Drive the integration and adoption of AI capabilities into applications and engineering workflows
• Design and implement solutions involving LLMs, Generative AI, AI APIs, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, or AI-assisted development tools, where applicable
• Evaluate AI technologies, frameworks, and approaches and determine how they can be applied to business and technical requirements
• Promote AI-first development practices, including the use of AI coding assistants for development, testing, documentation, and productivity
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues across application, integration, and infrastructure layers
• Collaborate with Product Managers, Business Analysts, QA, DevOps, and other stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions
• Ensure applications meet standards for performance, scalability, security, reliability, and maintainability
• Participate in technical discovery, estimation, proof-of-concepts, and architecture reviews
• Stay current with emerging technologies in Java, cloud computing, full-stack development, and AI and identify opportunities for innovation
