Full-Stack AI Engineer (TypeScript)

• Job Title : Full-Stack AI Engineer (TypeScript)
• Employment Type: Full-Time
• Location: Abu Dhabi

About the Role

We are building an AI-native product at the intersection of desktop software and intelligent automation — think in the category of Cursor, Granola, or Raycast. This is not a generic engineering role. You will be at the core of a team designing, building, and shipping a product where the AI layer is the product.

You will own the full delivery pipeline — backend APIs, LLM agent logic, real-time communication, and desktop packaging — working in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment where engineering quality is non-negotiable.

What You'll Do

• Design and build backend services using NestJS 11 and Node.js 22 with Bun as the runtime toolchain
• Develop responsive, performant frontend interfaces using React 19, MUI 7, Zustand, and Vite 7
• Architect and maintain LLM application pipelines using LangChain and the MCP
• SDK, including RAG workflows with ChromaDB 3 and HNSW indexing
• Integrate and maintain the Tauri v2 desktop shell for cross-platform packaging and native OS interaction
• Implement real-time features using Socket.IO
• Write comprehensive tests across unit (Vitest 3), end-to-end (Playwright), and mutation (Stryker) layers
• Contribute actively to architecture decisions and technical direction of the product

What You Bring

• Strong TypeScript proficiency across both frontend and backend (3+ years in production)
• Hands-on experience with React (v18/19) and NestJS or equivalent Node.js framework
• Demonstrated experience building with LLMs — LangChain, RAG pipelines, vector databases, or tool/agent frameworks
• Familiarity with Tauri, Electron, or any desktop application shell
• Comfort with real-time architectures (Socket.IO, WebSockets)
• A strong GitHub portfolio demonstrating AI or full-stack product work Experience with modern testing practices; mutation testing (Stryker) is a strong plus

Nice to Have

• Exposure to ChromaDB, Weaviate, Qdrant, or other vector stores
• Understanding of MCP (Model Context Protocol) and agent tool-calling patterns
• Prior experience shipping cross-platform desktop applications
• Familiarity with Rust at a conceptual level (for Tauri internals)

What We Offer

• Remote-first environment with a globally distributed team
• High ownership over a greenfield AI-native product
• Competitive compensation benchmarked to global engineering talent markets
• A culture of engineering excellence — quality over velocity, always
