• Collaborate with designers and product managers to transform ideas into user-friendly solutions.
• Develop AI-powered product capabilities.
• Build and integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, clients, and tools that connect AI models with Kion data and capabilities.
• Establish evaluation and observability practices for AI features, including accuracy, relevance, hallucination risk, token usage, latency, and customer impact.
• Contribute to architectural decisions across the application.
• Build and maintain scalable front-end components and API services.
• Contribute to architectural decisions across the stack (Angular front-end, Go backend).
• Improve code quality, usability, and extensibility through thoughtful engineering practices.
• Participate in planning, estimation, and scoping for new features and enhancements.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure a smooth development lifecycle and high-quality deliverables.
• Own the planning, development, testing, and delivery of a feature from end-to-end.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience building scalable web applications.
• Familiarity with MCP or similar protocols and patterns for connecting AI models to tools, data, and application services.
• Understanding of common AI application risks, including hallucinations, prompt injection, data leakage, access control, and unpredictable model behavior.
• Proficiency with a modern front-end framework (e.g. Angular, React, or Vue).

• Experience with Angular, and Golang.
• Exposure to multi-cloud and virtualized environments or cloud tooling.
• Demonstrated experience shipping AI or LLM-powered features into production, beyond proofs of concept.
• Hands-on experience with LLM APIs and concepts such as prompt design, structured outputs, tool calling, context management, and model evaluation.
• Experience developing FinTech solutions.

Benefits

• Remote-first Culture: Work anywhere in the U.S. with flexible hours (US only)!
