We are currently partnered with a leading advertising agency in NYC that is building out a GenerativeAI team and looking for a Full-Time Full Stack Developer to work hybrid in the office 3-4 days per week.
Job Description:
• Build & Ship: Design and deploy full-stack web experiences from scratch, ensuring they are production-ready, scalable, and secure.
• Integrate: Implement AI APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) into interactive UIs, but also integrate standard third-party services (CMS, ERP, Analytics) into traditional web builds.
• Flex: Seamlessly transition between experimental prototyping (moving fast/breaking things) and enterprise-grade development (high stability/testing) depending on the project type.
• Architect: Develop and maintain backend services, APIs, and database schemas (SQL/NoSQL).
• Collaborate: Work closely with designers and strategists to turn ambiguous ideas—whether AI-based or standard web—into concrete products.
• Standardise: Uphold strong standards for code quality, CI/CD, and testing across all projects you touch.
Requirements:

• Production Experience: You have shipped code that real users interact with at scale.
• AI Curiosity: Hands-on experience integrating at least one major AI API into an application, or a strong portfolio of side projects demonstrating AI capability.
• Communication: Excellent ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders (designers, clients).
Nice-to-Haves
