Role Summary: For the Polyglot Problem Solver
Are you the type of engineer who gets bored doing the exact same thing every day? Do you believe that languages and frameworks are just tools in a toolbox to choose for the right purpose, rather than being tied to a single technology?
We are looking for a **Full Stack Engineer** who values technical adaptability above all else. We don't just want a coder; we need a creative problem solver who can architect robust APIs in Python today, work with a legacy Java service tomorrow, and prototype an AI Agent workflow the next day.
In this role, you will work heavily with **Python (FastAPI)** and **GCP** , but you'll also be the explorer who helps us implement **AI Agents** and build complex data pipelines. If you love learning new paradigms and want to work on the cutting edge without losing touch with foundational engineering principles, this is the team for you.
What you'll do...
+ **Architect & Build:** Design and deploy high-performance, scalable RESTful APIs using **Python (FastAPI)** and manage data persistence with **PostgreSQL** and **ElasticSearch** .
+ **Containerize & Deploy:** Own your infrastructure decisions. You will containerize applications using **Docker/Podman** and manage CI/CD pipelines via **GCP CloudBuild** .
+ **Innovate with AI:** Lead the charge on integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI Agents into our ecosystem, utilizing frameworks like **Google ADK** , **CrewAI** , or others to automate complex business logic.
+ **Integrate Ecosystems:** Build secure, reliable integrations with external platforms, specifically leveraging **MS Graph API** to interface with **SharePoint** document repositories and other data sources
+ **Flexible Tech:** Be able to work on **Java Spring Boot** and **frontend JavaScript frameworks** when needed, ensuring seamless interoperability with our modern stack.
+ **Data Engineering:** Design **ETL pipelines** to move and transform data, setting the stage for future data visualization and dashboarding initiatives.
You'll have:
+ **Python Expertise:** Strong professional experience with Python, especially with asynchronous frameworks like **FastAPI**
+ **Bachelors degree or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.**
+ **Database Proficiency:** Deep understanding of relational databases ( **PostgreSQL** ) and ideally search engines ( **ElasticSearch** ). You know how to write efficient queries and optimize schemas.
+ **Cloud-Native Mindset:** Hands-on experience with **Google Cloud Platform (GCP)** . You are comfortable interacting with cloud resources programmatically via **Terraform** .
+ **Containerization:** Proficiency with **Docker** / **Podman** . You understand how to build lean images and orchestrate them in a cloud environment.
+ **CI/CD:** Experience defining build steps and deployment strategies using tools like **CloudBuild** , **Tekton**
Even better you may have:
+ **AI & Agent Frameworks:** Experience with (or a burning desire to master) AI orchestration tools like **Google ADK** , **CrewAI** , LangGraph, or AutoGPT.
+ **Microsoft Integrations:** Prior experience working with the **Microsoft Graph API** or programmatic file management within **SharePoint** .
+ Building or working on **document processing pipelines**
+ **Experience** in knowledge management systems or the legal domain
+ **Polyglot Flexibility:** Previous experience with **Java (Spring Boot)** and frontend frameworks like **Angular** . We don't need a Java or Angular expert, but we need someone able to dip into those technologies when it is called for
+ **Data Visualization:** Experience building dashboards or handling data transformation (ETL) for analytics.
Soft Skills and Mindset:
+ **Technical Adaptability:** You are comfortable being uncomfortable. You can pick up a new SDK, language, or API documentation and start building immediately.
+ **Communication:** You can explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders. You ask "Why?" before you ask "How?"
+ **High Agency:** You don't wait for a ticket to be perfectly defined. You identify bottlenecks, propose solutions, and drive implementation.
+ **Collaborative Spirit:** You enjoy code reviews, pair programming when necessary, and sharing knowledge with the team.
