Senior Full-Stack Engineer (AI Products) | On-site | George WC at Badger Holdings (Pty) Ltd

About you

• You’re an experienced full-stack engineer who has already shipped AI-powered products into production.
• You understand that building for AI is different. You’ve worked with non-deterministic systems, handled variable latency, and designed experiences that gracefully manage failure, partial responses, and uncertainty.

You’re confident across the stack:

• Modern frontend frameworks (React or similar)
• Backend/API development (Node.js, Python, or similar)
• REST/GraphQL APIs at scale
• Secure, compliant data handling in regulated environments
• You’ve built systems where reliability, security, and control matter, including authentication, validation, and enforcing boundaries at the API layer (not relying on the model to behave).
• You’re also comfortable owning the full lifecycle: from design and development to CI/CD and deployment.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience demonstrating shipped production AI work
• 5+ years’ experience in full-stack software engineering roles
• Demonstrated experience shipping user-facing AI or LLM-powered products into production environments

Bonus points

We’d love to hear from you if you’ve also worked with:

• Conversational interfaces, Azure, or LLM observability tools
• Complex system integrations like CRM platforms
• Training or certifications in secure software development or data protection (e.g. GDPR/POPIA awareness)
