Required Technical Qualifications

• Experience of at least 5+ years in software engineering especially web development, with proficiency in Python for building production systems
  
• Demonstrated ability to test, deploy, and operate user-facing products (such as dashboards, chatbots, or web applications) in production environments
  
• Strong background in designing and implementing backend services, including APIs, business logic, and data persistence using frameworks like NextJS or FastAPI
  
• Expertise in modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React or similar)
  
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and deployment workflows (e.g., AWS or GCP, Docker, CI/CD pipelines)
  
• Experience integrating external systems and APIs, especially foundational Large Language Models, into applications
  
• Ability to work directly with clients to scope problem statements, define solution requirements, and deliver end-to-end solutions
  
• Clear written and verbal communication skills for collaborating with technical and non-technical stakeholders internally and externally
  

• Understand workflows, decision points, and constraints, and translate them into clear technical requirements to build web products used in social and policy contexts.

• Design and implement user-facing products such as dashboards, web platforms, and chat-based tools, working across frontend interfaces, backend services, and data integrations.
  
• Designing and implementing automated data ingestion pipelines that pull from databases, APIs, and external sources, and transform them into reliable, application-ready inputs.
  
• Integrate analytics or generative AI components into applications to support workflows such as information retrieval, agent-based decision-making, and automations.
  
• Ship tools to production, monitor usage and performance, debug issues, and refine both frontend and backend based on real-world feedback.
  
• Work closely with other engineers, product owners, and domain experts to review code, plan releases, and deliver features end-to-end.
  
• Write blog posts or present on lessons learned.
  
• Support teammates through formal and informal coaching and collaboration that enables continuous learning and improvement for the team.
