As a Full-Stack Cloud Platform Engineer, you will play a crucial role in designing and implementing end-to-end cloud networking solutions and contribute to the next generation of the platform. AI experience is essential for this position - you will be expected to design and integrate AI-driven capabilities that enhance network intelligence, automation, and platform decision-making, as well as leverage AI-augmented development practices to accelerate delivery and innovation.

• Develop, design, and maintain features across the full stack; iteratively deploy services using cloud-based architecture.
• Design and implement AI-powered features and intelligent automation within the platform.
• Build responsive, high-quality user interfaces and the back-end services that support them.
• Design and implement components of the client's Next Generation Platform.
• Develop REST & gRPC APIs and contribute to the overall API framework, ensuring a seamless contract between front-end and back-end.
• Own key front-end and back-end components of the platform.
• Recommend improvements to system reliability, performance, usability, and quality.
• Work closely with cross-functional product, design, and platform teams.
• Stay current on key trends across web technologies, cloud platforms, networking solutions, and AI/ML engineering.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in software development, with proven experience in a full-stack or similar role.
• Demonstrated experience with AI/ML solution engineering - designing, integrating, and deploying AI-driven features in production systems (e.g., intelligent automation, AI-assisted decision-making, LLM integration, or prompt engineering).
• Strong proficiency in Java and Golang.
• Proficiency in modern front-end development: JS/TS, React, Angular.
• Hands-on experience with Kafka, microservices, and databases.
• Excellent understanding of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
• Good knowledge of networking on cloud platforms, preferably DNS, DHCP, or IPAM.
• Experience with system architecture and design patterns across both client and server tiers.
• Knowledge of API design and development, including RESTful principles and gRPC.
• Experience in microservices development with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex full-stack and network issues.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams.

Requirements

• Familiarity with back-end web frameworks (e.g., Gin, Echo) and understanding of concurrency patterns (Goroutines and channels).
• Experience with LLM APIs, RAG architectures, or ML model serving at scale.
• Background in cloud networking security solutions.
• Experience leading technical design discussions and mentoring engineers.
• Exposure to observability and monitoring tooling at scale.
• Prior work in a product engineering or SaaS environment.
