About the Role

We're hiring a Software Engineer to build agentic AI features into the Displai CMS. You'll ship LLM-powered workflows end to end across our TypeScript/Node backend and React frontend, working alongside senior engineers and the VP of Engineering. This is a build role for someone already fluent with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, MCP) who wants to apply that fluency to a production product running at scale. AI is collapsing the distance between engineering and product, and we're looking for someone who can think like a product builder, drive projects independently, and ship at the pace these tools now make possible.

What You Will Be Doing

• Build agentic features into the Displai CMS, from prototype through production rollout

• Design and implement LLM-driven workflows: tool use, structured outputs, evaluations, prompt iteration

• Contribute to our MCP server work and help expose more of our platform to AI agents

• Own features end to end: scoping, backend APIs, frontend UI, monitoring, and iteration based on customer use

• Drive projects independently. Make product calls in flight, prototype to validate ideas, and bring partners in when it matters rather than waiting for specs

• Collaborate with product, design, and senior engineers on scoping and trade-offs

• Use AI coding tools as a force multiplier and help raise the bar for how the team uses them

What We are Looking For

• 1 to 4 years of professional software engineering experience

• Strong fundamentals in TypeScript/Node and React, including modern React patterns (hooks, state management, component composition)

• Solid backend skills: designing and building REST APIs, writing performant SQL against relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or similar), and reasoning about schema design and migrations

• Comfortable with HTML/CSS, responsive UI work, and component-driven frontend development

• Working knowledge of Git, code review practices, testing (unit and integration), and CI/CD workflows

• Heavy day-to-day user of agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent). You can talk specifically about what you've built with them and where they fall short

• Product sense and ownership. Agentic AI compresses build cycles, which means engineers need to make more product calls in flight: scoping trade-offs, judging when something is good enough, and driving projects to outcomes without waiting for spec hand-offs. We're looking for engineers who think like product builders, not just implementers

• Comfort working across the stack: backend services, frontend, and the glue between them

• Bias toward shipping. You'd rather have a rough version in production than a perfect one in a branch

• Clear written communication and a low-ego collaboration style

Preferred qualifications

• Shipped agentic or LLM-powered features in a production product

• Built or contributed to MCP servers

• Experience with evals, prompt engineering at scale, or agent orchestration frameworks

• Background in B2B SaaS, multi-tenant systems, or content management platforms

• Experience with NoSQL or caching layers (Redis, DynamoDB, etc.)

• Familiarity with message queues, background jobs, or event-driven architectures

• Exposure to AWS, Docker, and modern observability stacks (logs, metrics, traces)

• Experience with TypeScript on the backend (NestJS, Express, or similar) and ORMs (Prisma, TypeORM, etc.)

• Experience with Go, particularly for performance-sensitive services or backend tooling

Perks/Benefits at Displai

• Full medical and dental plans

• 401(k) plan

• Flexible PTO and paid holidays

• Be a part of a high-performance team

• One of the first 50 people in a SaaS Start-up
