Staff Software Engineer - Full Stack

About AI71: AI71 builds enterprise-grade AI and data platform software for organizations operating in regulated, mission-critical environments. Our solutions are delivered in two deployment modes: • Managed SaaS — multi-tenant, cloud-hosted, continuously updated. • On-premises — single-tenant installs in customer data centres, including fully disconnected and air-gapped environments. Full-stack engineering at AI71 means building both the APIs and the interfaces that have to work in the cloud and behind a firewall, with bilingual UI support on one side and disconnected, air-gapped delivery on the other. The Role: As a Lead / Staff Full-Stack Engineer you set technical direction across both the frontend and backend of a critical platform area. You own multiple services and the UI surfaces built on top of them, lead architecture decisions spanning the full stack, mentor engineers across teams, and drive engineering excellence. You are a force multiplier. What You'll Do: • Define the architecture for a critical platform area, spanning API / service design and the frontend architecture that consumes it. • Lead major technical decisions: framework choices, data models, deployment patterns, and design system direction. • Mentor senior engineers across frontend and backend disciplines; raise the engineering bar across multiple teams. • Drive cross-team initiatives that improve reliability, security, developer velocity, and UI quality. • Partner with product and design on multi-quarter technical and UX strategy. • Operate as a tech lead for major full-stack projects (without people management responsibility). • Ensure platform and UI decisions support both SaaS and on-prem operating models. What You'll Bring: • 10+ years of full-stack engineering with history of architectural ownership across frontend and backend. • Strong system design at the architecture level in your primary discipline (backend: distributed systems, API architecture; or frontend: component and rendering architecture at scale), with credible fluency across the other. • Deep proficiency in Python and React. • Mentorship record in your primary discipline, with the credibility to review and guide work on the other side of the stack. • Track record of leading major technical initiatives end-to-end. • Deep comfort with platforms that run in both managed SaaS and on-premises / disconnected environments. • On-prem / air-gap delivery experience at the architecture level. • Design system leadership alongside backend architecture ownership. • Leading technical initiatives that affect multiple teams across disciplines. • Experience scaling engineering orgs that combine frontend and backend disciplines. Nice to Have: • Open-source maintainership. • Conference speaking, technical writing, or industry thought leadership. • Arabic language skills. Why AI71: • Mission-Driven Work: Work on cutting-edge AI applications with a talented and passionate team, solving real-world challenges in critical sectors. • Unparalleled Opportunity: This is a chance to innovate and solve real-world challenges using AI at a company with unique access to world-leading models and resources. • Career Growth: We offer competitive compensation, benefits, and significant career growth opportunities as a foundational member of the team. • World-Class Environment: Enjoy a flexible working environment and the latest tools & technologies needed to do your best work.
