Role Overview
As a Full Stack Python Engineer, you’ll take ownership of our Integrations Platform - the infrastructure that powers external system connectivity and real-time, AI-driven workflows. This role blends deep backend expertise with strong frontend skills, as you’ll be building both robust API integrations and intuitive UI components for our visual workflow builder. You’ll work across the full product lifecycle, translating complex business needs into scalable software that directly impacts customers. Ideal for engineers who thrive at the intersection of product and code, and who want to help define the future of intelligent, configurable SaaS.
Key Responsibilities
Back-End Development:
- Own the integrations platform that connects external systems to real-time, AI-driven workflows.
- Design and scale FastAPI services that support dynamic, customer-configurable workflows.
- Build reusable, intelligent backend nodes using Python, FastAPI, and LangGraph to automate key business logic.
- Interface with both modern APIs and legacy enterprise systems (e.g., SOAP/XML).
- Optimize PostgreSQL queries and ensure high system reliability with Redis-backed caching.
Front-End Development:
- Develop and maintain the visual workflow builder using React and TypeScript (Next.js).
- Translate complex backend logic into clear, intuitive UI components used directly by customers.
- Work closely with product and design to ensure frontend UX aligns with customer needs.
AI Infrastructure Integration:
- Implement AI-powered automation nodes using OpenAI, LangChain, and Google Cloud AI services.
- Maintain clean, containerized deployment workflows using Docker and Google Cloud Platform.
Cross-functional Collaboration:
- Partner with product stakeholders to shape features from concept to production.
- Translate real-world customer pain points into scalable software solutions.
- Contribute to product strategy with a strong understanding of usability and business impact.
Requirements
Must-Have:
- 5+ years of professional full-stack engineering experience
- Solid experience with Python (FastAPI), PostgreSQL, and modern backend architecture
- Frontend proficiency in React, TypeScript, and component-based design
- Experience delivering customer-facing features - not just internal tools
- Strong product thinking - you care about the "why" behind the code
- Comfortable working with both RESTful and legacy APIs (e.g., SOAP/XML)
- Strong communication skills and remote collaboration habits
Nice-to-Have:
- Experience with workflow automation tools or visual builders
- Familiarity with logistics platforms or enterprise system integrations
- Background in AI/ML tools (LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI APIs)
- Hands-on with Docker and deployment on Google Cloud
What You’ll Love About This Role
You’ll be building software that feels like magic to our users - combining powerful backend workflows, sleek UI, and AI to automate the world's most complex industries. This is your chance to take ownership of critical systems and help shape a platform poised to redefine how vertical SaaS gets built.
