About the role

Full-Stack Software Engineer developing AI projects end-to-end at Circle's Applied AI team. Proficient in Ruby on Rails, MySQL, and ReactJS with a strong focus on AI features.

Responsibilities

Ship full-stack AI projects end-to-end on a product built in Ruby on Rails backend and React frontend.
Design and run experiments (including A/B tests, AI evaluations, or others) to validate AI features, measure impact, and guide iteration.
Build and integrate components for AI infrastructure and optimize them for performance and reliability to support production-level inferencing.
Improve processes, tools, and systems to scale AI features into production-ready solutions.
Help us stay up-to-date with the cutting-edge AI research, techniques, and tools.
Work closely with Circle's leaders and designers throughout the feature design process.
Foster a bias for action by prioritizing speed of iteration, experimentation, and learning, while maintaining high standards of code quality and user experience.

6+ years experience working as a full-stack engineer on high-traffic production applications. You've dealt with the challenges that come with scale — query optimization, careful migrations, performance bottlenecks.
Strong proficiency in Ruby on Rails, MySQL / Postgresql, ReactJS. Familiarity with both frontend and backend is necessary, but a high degree of proficiency in both is not a requirement.
Hands-on experience building AI features in production — whether RAG systems, AI agents, or LLM-powered tools. You've shipped at least one real AI use case, not just prototypes.
Strong experimentation mindset — you’re comfortable designing and running A/B tests, measuring results, and iterating quickly to discover what works and what doesn’t.
A desire to work in an environment which values speed of iteration and individual autonomy, while also embracing personal accountability and the ability to collaborate effectively as part of a dynamic team.
Comfortable in a fast-paced environment with a certain level of ambiguity, especially when learning and picking up new technologies when projects require it.
Strong alignment with our values, find our values on our career page if you haven’t read up on them yet.
You are proficient in English (spoken, written, and reading) at a CEFR Level C2 / ILR Level 5.
