Job Title: Senior Full-Stack AI Engineer (Agentic Systems)

Pay Type: SALARIED EXEMPT

Location: Remote

What We’re Looking For: We're looking for an AI-native, hands-on engineer who builds and ships production-ready software across the full stack, not just AI prototypes. You use tools like Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor to work faster, and you back them with sound engineering judgment, rigorous testing, and strong security practices. This is an engineering role, not a data science or research position.

Summary of Position Role/Responsibilities

The Senior Full-Stack AI Engineer – Agentic Systems will build and scale NISTCompliance.ai, Quzara's AI-enabled cybersecurity compliance platform. This senior, hands-on role designs, codes, tests, and ships production software across the full stack. It also covers building AI capabilities with leading large language models, including agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and document intelligence. The ideal candidate is an AI-native engineer who uses AI-assisted development tools to deliver secure, reliable, production-ready software, not prototypes.

Essential Functions of the Job

Design, build, test, and ship production features across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, and AI services.
Build AI-powered product capabilities using leading large language models and generative AI platforms.
Design and implement agentic workflows involving tool use, structured outputs, multi-step tasks, and human oversight.
Develop and improve retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), semantic search, document intelligence, and knowledge-retrieval capabilities.
Integrate AI capabilities into existing application workflows and enterprise systems.
Build reliable evaluation, testing, monitoring, and observability for AI-powered functionality.
Develop secure, scalable APIs and backend services supporting AI-enabled applications.
Use AI-assisted coding tools extensively for repository analysis, development, testing, debugging, refactoring, and code review.
Diagnose complex engineering problems across application, AI, data, and cloud layers.
Contribute to architecture, engineering standards, code reviews, and technical mentoring.
Evaluate emerging AI technologies and rapidly determine which capabilities are suitable for production use.
