About the role

Full-stack engineer role focused on customer-facing products, developer tools, and AI-assisted workflows to evolve the Forge platform for Hivemind.

Responsibilities

  • Build and operate a full-stack platform embedded in the workflows used to train, validate, and deploy the AI Pilot.
  • Design a composable UI architecture that lets applications contribute widgets, dashboards, commands, and shared resource context.
  • Define typed, versioned contracts between the platform and independently developed Forge applications.
  • Create workflows for teams to package, publish, configure, install, upgrade, and disable applications.
  • Enable Forge’s native AI experiences and external agent harnesses to understand active context, invoke authorized tools, navigate applications, and compose dashboards.
  • Deliver consistent application behavior across local-development and remote-cluster environments.
  • Partner with simulation, autonomy, and ML subject-matter experts to build initial applications, validate the platform against real workflows, and incorporate what you learn.
  • Work across infrastructure, security, product, and design to shape the platform’s architecture and engineering practices.

Qualifications

  • Experience owning production full-stack applications from design and implementation through rollout and support.
  • Strong proficiency with TypeScript and React or an equivalent modern web stack.
  • Experience building production backend services in Go, Python, Rust, or a comparable language.
  • Experience designing typed, versioned APIs and contracts between independently deployed components.
  • Strong knowledge of web and distributed-system architecture, including state management, routing, asynchronous communication, browser security, authentication, authorization, and failure handling.
  • Ability to build intuitive technical tools for engineers and test them at the unit, integration, and system levels.
  • Sound judgment about when to extend an existing system, introduce an abstraction, or keep a solution intentionally small.
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to work across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and product disciplines.
