What You’ll Do

As a Senior Full-Stack Developer at InteractiveAI, you will build core features across both the frontend and backend of our platform—shipping elegant interfaces, robust APIs, scalable services, and reliable tooling used by enterprise customers and internal teams.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership engineering role: you will architect systems, write production-grade code, design efficient data flows, and ship end-to-end features that directly shape our product experience.

• Design, architect, and implement backend services, microservices, and internal tooling
• Build modern, responsive, and performant frontend applications using React, TypeScript, and Tailwind
• Develop and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs that power key platform functionalities
• Integrate third-party services, authentication systems, and enterprise connectors
• Collaborate with product and design to craft intuitive user experiences and smooth interaction flows
• Deploy and manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes
• Work with databases such as Postgres, Redis, and/or ClickHouse—handling schema design, migrations, and query performance
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks, and release workflows
• Troubleshoot production issues, performance problems, and service reliability incidents
• Take full ownership of features from design to production, including documentation and monitoring
