## Job description

About Us:

We are establishing the first distributed Al infrastructure dedicated to personalized Al.

The evolving needs of a data-driven society are demanding scalability and flexibility. We believe that the future of Al is distributed and enables real-time data processing at the edge, closer to where data is generated. We are building a future where a company's data and IP remains private and it's possible to bring large models directly to consumer hardware without removing information from the model.

## ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to drive the development of high-performance web and desktop applications while ensuring scalability, maintainability, and real-time communication efficiency. In this role, you’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement solutions that power our core products. Your expertise in AI-native engineering (agentic workflows, strong architectural seams, and test-driven delivery) will be essential as we move quickly without compromising quality. Day to day you’ll reach for whatever technology best fits the problem - today that often means React, TypeScript, and Tauri, with real-time collaboration and CI/CD as core parts of how we ship. If you are passionate about engineering excellence, tackling complex technical challenges, and mentoring engineers, this is the role for you.

## Responsibilities

- Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to translate business requirements into high-quality software solutions.
- Design, develop, and maintain web and desktop applications.
- Utilize CI/CD pipelines using GitLab, ensuring automated testing and smooth deployments.
- Write clean, scalable, and maintainable code across the codebase
- Write testable code and the tests to go with it
- Participate in code reviews, sharing best practices and improving overall code quality.
- Troubleshoot and debug issues in production and non-production environments.
- Stay up to date with emerging technologies and propose improvements to architecture and workflows.
- Architect complex state management solutions for large-scale applications.
- Design and implement efficient processes for data processing, caching, and real-time updates ensuring scalability
- Provide technical mentorship, guiding engineers on best practices, system design and performance optimizations.
- Lead architectural discussions and contribute to long-term technical strategies ensuring alignment with business goals.

## Requirements & Skills

- 5+ years of professional experience developing in Javascript or TypeScript
- Strong proficiency in building scalable applications.
- Expertise in HTML, CSS, SCSS, and TypeScript.
- Experience with real-time communication protocols (WebSockets, MQTT).
- Strong proficiency in unit testing and E2E testing frameworks (Cypress).
- Knowledge of Rust and Python is beneficial for backend integration.

- Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines using GitLab and experience with DevOps tools.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a strong ability to troubleshoot complex issues.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
- Deep expertise in state management patterns and libraries such as Redux or Zustand with experience in optimizing complex UI interactions.
- Experience designing and implementing scalable and efficient data fetching, caching, and synchronization.
- Proven experience in leading technical initiatives, collaborating with stakeholders, and driving best engineering practices across teams.

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Enterprise AI infrastructure, sovereign AI, edge computing
- Target customers: B2B – large enterprises and public‑sector organizations in healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, aviation, retail, and defense
- Mission or purpose statement: “AI should be specialized, sovereign, efficient, and sustainable. It should solve real problems, not just burn more compute.” (source: [webai.com/about](https://www.webai.com/about))

## Products & Services
- **Navigator**: Build, train, and deploy custom AI models on local infrastructure with full transparency and control. (source: [webai.com](https://www.webai.com))
