Job description

AHEAD builds platforms for digital business. By weaving together advances in cloud infrastructure, automation and analytics, and software delivery, we help enterprises deliver on the promise of digital transformation.
At AHEAD, we prioritize creating a culture of belonging, where all perspectives and voices are represented, valued, respected, and heard. We create spaces to empower everyone to speak up, make change, and drive the culture at AHEAD.
We are an equal opportunity employer, and do not discriminate based on an individual's race, national origin, color, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, marital status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable law, whether actual or perceived.
We embrace all candidates that will contribute to the diversification and enrichment of ideas and perspectives at AHEAD.

We’re hiring a full stack engineer who is comfortable across all parts of the stack (Python, JavaScript, React/Vue, APIs, AI/LLM integration) and can help ship production-grade UI using established designs and component libraries. You must be able to own and deliver full end-to-end features across the stack.

What You'll Do

    • Design, build, and maintain backend services in Python, including REST/GraphQL APIs and integrations with internal and external systems.
    • Implement and integrate AI/LLM-powered workflows (e.g., RAG, agentic workflows, orchestration, prompt/guardrail patterns).
    • Work across our agentic platform stack to connect services, tools, and data sources into reliable, observable workflows.
    • Translate UX designs and design systems into clean, maintainable frontend code (React), wiring up APIs, state, and components.
    • Collaborate with product, UX, and other engineers to break down requirements, estimate work, and deliver in iterative increments while meeting business timelines.
    • Write readable, testable code with appropriate unit/integration tests and participate in code reviews.
    • Help ensure engineering standards, tooling, and CI/CD practices for secure, scalable AI workloads.
    • Diagnose and resolve issues across the stack (backend, integrations, and frontend behavior).
    • Use agentic development for rapid quality code and be excited about staying at the forefront of AI skills.

Core Skills & Experience

    Must have

    • 7+ years of software engineering experience, with significant time in Python building production services.
    • 2+ years hands-on with an agentic coding harness — Cursor, Windsurf/Devin, or Claude Code — used as a daily driver on production work, not occasional or trial use.
    • Ready to hit the ground running with agentic development: a solid, practical command of agent skills, rules, prompt engineering, and loop engineering, and the judgment to know when each applies.
    • Hands-on experience integrating with LLMs or AI services (e.g., AWS Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, AgentCore, or similar).
    • Strong experience with API design and implementation (REST/JSON; GraphQL a plus).
    • Solid understanding of data modeling, persistence, and integration (SQL/NoSQL, queues, event-driven patterns, etc.).
    • Working proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (React preferred; Vue/Angular acceptable with willingness to work in React).
    • Ability to take Figma/wireframes/design specs and implement responsive, accessible UI using a component library / design system (e.g., Tailwind + component kits).
    • Experience with cloud-native development on at least one major cloud (AWS preferred) and containerization/orchestration concepts.
    • Familiarity with secure coding practices, authentication/authorization patterns (OAuth/OIDC, RBAC), and observability (logging, metrics, tracing).
    • Comfortable working in an agile environment with iterative delivery, backlog tracking (e.g., Jira), and collaboration tools.

      • Nice to have

      • Experience building or integrating with agentic AI workflows (multi-agent graphs, tools, guardrails, human-in-the-loop flows).
      • Knowledge of event-driven architectures, message buses, and workflow engines.
      • Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and CI/CD in cloud environments.
      • Background working on platform or shared services used by multiple product teams.
      • Familiarity with design systems and reusable UI component libraries (e.g., shadcn, Material).

Preferred Certfications

    Preferred, not required. We hire based on demonstrated ability. A certification on its own is never a substitute for hands-on experience.

    • AWS Certified AI Practitioner (AIF-C01)
    • AWS Agentic AI Demonstrated
    • AWS Certified Generative AI Developer – Professional (AIP-C01)
    • Anthropic Academy developer path
    • Also valued: AWS Certified Machine Learning Engineer – Associate (MLA-C02), Claude Certified Architect – Foundations , and GitHub Copilot GH-300.

What Success Looks Like

    • You can own a feature end to end: from API design and AI integration through to a functional UI, without heavy supervision on the frontend.
    • You move quickly but safely, shipping incremental value while maintaining code quality, reliability, and security.
    • You collaborate well with product, UX, and other engineers, and you’re comfortable operating in an evolving Enterprise AI platform context.
The compensation range indicated in this posting reflects the On-Target Earnings (“OTE”) for this role, which includes a base salary and any applicable target bonus amount. This OTE range may vary based on the candidate’s relevant experience, qualifications, and geographic location.

Prepare your application

Use the description above to assess your fit for AHEAD. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.

Match requirements to evidence

Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.

Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.

Check the working arrangement

Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.

Review before submitting

Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.

Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.

Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
