Junior Full Stack AI Engineer (Python, Cloud (AWS or Azure), LLM, RAG): On-site, Cape Town
Our Client is an AI transformation agency: clients describe a bottleneck slowing their business down, and they build the software, automation, or AI system that removes it. They are looking for a talented Full Stack AI Engineer with 2–4 years of commercial software development experience to help build and scale the AI-powered products behind their client’s work.
This role is for someone who enjoys solving difficult problems, takes ownership, and delivers production-ready software rather than prototypes. You'll be building the actual systems clients depend on, not demos, often standing up a working pilot in days or weeks rather than quarters.
DUTIES:
Design and build scalable backend systems, APIs, and databases, primarily in Python.
Deploy, manage, and optimise production environments on AWS, Azure, or Vercel.
Build secure applications with authentication, payments, billing, and multi-tenancy.
Integrate AI technologies including LLM APIs, AI agents, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), ensuring they're robust and reliable in production, not just wrappers or demos.
Own projects end-to-end, from architecture through deployment and continuous improvement.
Collaborate closely with product and leadership teams to rapidly turn client problems into market-ready systems.
Python proficiency is a firm requirement for this role.
REQUIREMENTS:
Strong backend engineering and database design, with solid commercial experience in Python.
Cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and CI/CD knowledge.
Practical experience deploying and maintaining production applications.
The ability to build scalable, AI-enabled products , not just wrappers or demos.
Commercial judgement, initiative, and a bias for execution.
ATTRIBUTES:
You're ambitious, curious, and pragmatic.
You move quickly, solve problems independently, and enjoy taking responsibility.
The company values capability, ownership, and the quality of what you build far more than a degree or expertise in any one particular technology stack
