About the role
Senior Software Engineer to join Thomas engineering, evolving from a traditional supplier directory to AI-assisted sourcing with LLMs, retrieval, and search; build and maintain product experiences and AI-powered features central to strategy; collaborate with product manager and engineers.
Responsibilities
- Hands-on technical leadership. Lead by example by actively coding, reviewing, and troubleshooting. Set good coding patterns and designs for the team.
- Lead projects end-to-end. Own the design and delivery of features within your team, from problem to production and largely independently, including the AI-powered capabilities at the center of our strategy: features that use LLMs, retrieval, and search, with the evaluations and guardrails that keep them accurate and safe.
- Mentorship and code review. Guide and mentor engineers on the team; do thorough code review and raise the bar for how others review.
- Operational excellence. Own testing and reliability for what you ship. Deliver software that meets customer expectations and business timelines.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of software development experience, focused on outcomes over output, with a habit of helping shape the team's direction rather than only building to spec.
- Strong full-stack skills that transfer to our stack: backend services in TypeScript and Node.js with GraphQL APIs, a React and Next.js frontend, PostgreSQL, and search such as OpenSearch. Comparable experience in another modern stack counts just as much; prior experience with our exact tools is not required.
- Hands-on experience building AI-powered product features: LLM applications, retrieval-augmented generation, vector search, or search relevance. We hire AI-native engineers who build with these tools and judge their output rigorously, whatever the specific frameworks.
- Bonus points: experience with multimodal (image and text) embeddings and search, agent orchestration frameworks (e.g. LangGraph, LangChain), and fine-tuning or adapting models for a domain.
- A fast learner with high agency who works fluently in an AI-native development environment and shares what they learn.
- Strong execution, debugging, and communication skills. Prioritizes unit and integration testing.
- E-commerce or marketplace product experience is a plus.
