Job Description
We're hiring a Software Engineer to join our US engineering team and contribute meaningfully across our AI platform and product portfolio. This is a full-stack role with significant exposure to applied AI, data infrastructure, and enterprise automation. You'll write production code, own components end-to-end, and have a direct line of sight from your work to its business impact.

This role is a great fit for an engineer with a few years of full-stack experience who wants to grow into AI platform work and take on real ownership. You'll be one of a handful of engineers shipping software used across SOCOTEC's global business units.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build features end-to-end across modern React frontends and Python (Django / FastAPI) backends

  • Own components and small services — from spec through deployment and operation

  • Contribute to AI-powered features: prompt engineering, agent workflows, RAG pipelines, and LLM integrations

  • Participate in architecture and design discussions; influence technical direction as you grow into the role

  • Write clean, tested, maintainable code and participate in code reviews

  • Collaborate closely with engineering lead, DevOps, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into shipped software

  • Help maintain and improve developer practices: CI/CD, testing, documentation, and operational excellence

Qualifications
Required

  • 3+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience

  • Strong proficiency with React (or comparable modern frontend framework) and Python (Django, FastAPI, or similar)

  • Solid understanding of REST APIs, relational databases, and modern web application architecture

  • Familiarity with containerized deployments (Docker)

  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure) and CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions or equivalent)

  • Excellent written and verbal communication; comfortable working across time zones and with non-technical stakeholders

  • Curiosity about AI/ML and a genuine interest in building AI-powered products

Strongly Preferred

  • Experience integrating with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar) in production

  • Familiarity with one or more of: agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain), vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate), or RAG architectures

  • Experience with modern data infrastructure (Databricks, Snowflake, Airbyte, or similar)

  • Experience with workflow automation platforms (n8n, Zapier, Temporal, or similar)

Nice to Have

  • Experience working on small engineering teams where individual ownership is high

  • Exposure to enterprise SaaS or compliance-sensitive industries

  • Background in AEC, construction tech, or industrial software.

Practice Questions

  • 1.How would you approach designing and building a full-stack feature for our AI platform, specifically using React for the frontend and FastAPI for the backend?
  • 2.Can you explain the architecture of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline and how you would integrate it into an existing Python backend?
  • 3.Walk me through your process for containerizing a full-stack application and setting up a CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions.
🎯Behavioral Questions (3)
  • 1.Tell me about a time you took end-to-end ownership of a software component, from specification to deployment.
  • 2.Describe a situation where you had to explain a complex technical issue to a non-technical stakeholder in the architecture, engineering, or construction space.
  • 3.Give an example of when you had to collaborate closely with DevOps and engineering leads to influence the technical direction of a project.
🧩Situational Questions (2)
  • 1.You are tasked with adding an AI-powered feature that summarizes complex compliance reports for AEC projects, but the LLM integration is causing significant latency on the frontend. How do you handle this?
  • 2.You join SOCOTEC's small engineering team and notice that the developer practices, specifically around testing and documentation, are lacking for a legacy Python service you now own. What is your approach?
