Full-Stack Applied AI Engineer

Bitovi is working with Very Big Things, an AI-native consulting and implementation partner. They are seeking a Senior Full-Stack AI Engineer who will be responsible for delivering AI-enabled products, collaborating with clients and strategists, and making technical decisions throughout the project lifecycle.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end delivery: Design and build full-stack features from UI to backend to deployment
• Ship real AI systems: Implement RAG, tool-calling, agent workflows, structured prompting, evals, and guardrails
• Move fast, responsibly: Prototype quickly, then harden for security, reliability, and cost control
• Use AI as a force multiplier: Work fluently with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or Copilot to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality
• Make technical calls: Choose patterns, trade-offs, and scope boundaries without waiting for permission
• Collaborate tightly: Work directly with strategists, clients, and other senior engineers to unblock progress
• Light DevOps ownership: Configure environments, CI/CD, secrets, and deployments (with support when complexity grows)

Requirements:

• 6+ years building production software across front-end and back-end
• Hands-on Gen-AI experience in real products (not just experiments)
• Strong command of JavaScript/TypeScript
• Proven experience with modern stacks such as: React/Next.js, Node.js (Nest, Express, or similar)
• SQL databases (Postgres), caches, and vector stores
• Comfortable designing secure, production-grade systems: auth (RBAC), secrets, auditability, PII-aware data handling
• Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, Azure, or Vercel) and CI/CD fundamentals
• Clear communicator who can explain trade-offs to non-engineers
• Comfortable working embedded with a client team
• Experience in retail, hospitality, logistics, healthcare, or regulated environments
• Prior consulting or agency delivery experience
