About the Role

Mission:

As the Fullstack AI Engineer, you will be at the forefront of transforming our technology landscape through comprehensive, end-to-end AI solutions. Your mission is to architect, develop, and deploy scalable systems that leverage advanced Artificial Intelligence and automation capabilities to drive operational efficiency, product innovation, and user satisfaction. You will work closely with cross-functional teams—ranging from data scientists and product managers to UX/UI designers and DevOps professionals—to ensure seamless integration of AI-powered features where they deliver the greatest value, while maintaining a robust software architecture and intuitive user experience. Your role will be instrumental in ensuring our next-generation platform not only meets client and internal needs but also sets new standards for innovation, reliability, and excellence in the AI-driven software industry.

Outcomes:
Deliver High-Quality Code: Consistently submit well-documented, maintainable, and robust code through Pull Requests (PRs) that include comprehensive tests (unit, integration) and adhere to team coding standards and best practices. Aim for high test coverage (e.g., >80%) on new code.

Apply Strong Fundamentals: Design and implement features demonstrating strong understanding and application of software architecture principles (e.g., SOLID, clean architecture), efficient database design (schema, indexing, query optimization), and API best practices (RESTful design, security).

Leverage AI Tools Effectively: Integrate AI coding assistants and tools into your daily workflow to demonstrably improve development speed (e.g., reducing boilerplate, accelerating test writing, assisting debugging) without compromising code quality, maintainability, or introducing unnecessary complexity. Be prepared to share effective prompts and techniques.

Contribute to System Stability: Keep production rollback rate related to your contributions under 2% by enforcing comprehensive testing, leveraging CI/CD pipelines effectively, and adhering to established DevOps best practices.

Engage in Collaborative Development: Actively participate in code reviews, providing timely, constructive feedback based on engineering principles and best practices. Respond proactively to feedback on your own PRs, contributing positively to team velocity and knowledge sharing.

Professional Background: You’ve excelled as a Fullstack Engineer, AI Specialist, or a similar role for 5+ years, developing and deploying scalable applications that harness the power of AI.

Front-End & Back-End: Fluent in VueJS/React and NodeJS (TypeScript), with hands-on experience in microservices that are modular, reusable, and resilient.

Databases & Architecture: Comfortable with MongoDB/Supabase, ESR/RPC, and adept at designing solutions aligned with Clean/Hexagonal architecture, SOLID principles, ACID, and idempotency.

AI Frameworks & Tools: Skilled in advanced AI ecosystems—LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.—with experience in prompt engineering, RAG, and an interest in specialized hardware like Groq.

Quality Advocate: Passionate about maintaining high testing standards, security patches, and thorough documentation for AI pipelines, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.

Interpersonal Skills: Able to communicate fluidly with Agile teams, bridging gaps between product, UX, data science, and engineering to deliver successful AI initiatives.

Cloud & DevOps Expertise: Knowledge of AWS/GCP, when to leverage serverless/PaaS, and experience deploying microservices to Kubernetes—with a keen eye for best practices in MLOps and AI model lifecycle management.

Collaboration & Independence: Equally comfortable working solo or in a team environment, driving projects from ideation to production while inspiring those around you.

Humility and kindness: Humility is a core attribute we hire for, which means we have a culture of not taking ourselves too seriously and being able to laugh. Kindness is also incredibly important. We are committed to creating and nurturing a diverse and inclusive environment.

Flexibility: You’ll be able to work from home 2-3 days per week if you live in Singapore. If you need to start early or start late to cater to your family or other needs, we don’t mind, so long as you get your work done and proactively communicate. You can also work fully remote from anywhere in the world for 1 month each year

Financial benefits: We pay competitive market salaries and provide staff with generous paid time off and holiday schedules. Additionally, you’ll be able to access our flexi benefits scheme for home office equipment or health and fitness expenditure. Certain staff at Sleek are also eligible for our employee share ownership plan and can share in the upside of our stellar growth trajectory as we work toward listing on a prominent stock exchange in the Asia Pacific region.

Personal growth: You’ll get a lot of responsibility and autonomy at Sleek - we move at a fast pace so you’ll be making decisions, making mistakes and learning. There’s also a range of internal and external facing training programmes we run. We’re also at the forefront of utilising AI in our space and are developing a regional centre of AI excellence. It is our intention that if you leave Sleek, you leave as a more well-rounded person and professional.
