- You'll turn powerful AI systems into real, usable products; the kind customers and teams rely on every day. At ARC AI, we're building intelligent agents that operate in a regulated insurance environment, and your role is to make them work in the real world.
- This means designing and building the interfaces, APIs, and product layer that sit between AI and people. You'll shape how users interact with AI: from chat interfaces and workflows to human-in-the-loop review systems that keep humans in control of agent decisions before they reach customers. Ensuring everything works smoothly, even when the AI doesn't.
- You'll own the full stack: frontend experiences that handle streaming responses and unpredictable outputs, backend services that connect AI to core systems, and the pipelines that ship it all into production.
- You'll also build the observability and feedback loops that help us continuously improve how these agents perform in production, not just in evaluation, but in the real product.
- This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where what you build is the product, seen and used by customers and leadership alike.
Requirements
About you
- You're an experienced full-stack engineer who has already shipped AI-powered products into production.
- You understand that building for AI is different. You've worked with non-deterministic systems, handled variable latency, and designed experiences that gracefully manage failure, partial responses, and uncertainty.
You're confident across the stack
- Modern frontend frameworks React or similar
- Backend/API development Node.js, Python, or similar
- REST/GraphQL APIs at scale
- Secure, compliant data handling in regulated environments
- You've built systems where reliability, security, and control matter, including authentication, validation, and enforcing boundaries at the API layer not relying on the model to behave.
- You're also comfortable owning the full lifecycle: from design and development to CI/CD and deployment.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience demonstrating shipped production AI work
- 5+ years' experience in full-stack software engineering roles
- Demonstrated experience shipping user-facing AI or LLM-powered products into production environments
Bonus points
We'd love to hear from you if you've also worked with
- Conversational interfaces, Azure, or LLM observability tools
- Complex system integrations like CRM platforms
- Training or certifications in secure software development or data protection e.g. GDPR/POPIA awareness
