Full Stack AI Engineer

This is the first software engineering hire at Otonomee and a key role in building the company’s AI capability and platform. You will report to the CTO, with a dotted line to the Product Builder.  You will design, build, and ship AI-powered applications end-to-end — spanning backend, data, APIs, and lightweight UI — while establishing the foundation of the Enterprise AI Platform on Azure.  In the early phase, this role is highly hands-on. You will turn ambiguous business problems across multiple teams into working solutions using AI-native development tools. As the team grows, the role will evolve toward platform architecture, integrations, and technical leadership.    Why This Role  This is an early and high-impact founding engineering role in a company building its AI platform from the ground up. You will take ownership of how AI applications are designed, built, deployed, and scaled across a real CX client environment.  You will work hands-on across the full stack — from backend and data to APIs and lightweight UI — shipping production-ready AI solutions end-to-end. With direct exposure to leadership, you will play a key role in shaping the technical foundation of the business while owning delivery from concept to production in a fast-moving, AI-native environment.
