Lead Full-Stack & Agentic Automation Developer

About us We're a consulting firm building agentic AI solutions for clients in law, healthcare, education, retail, commerce, and regulatory consulting. Our work sits at the intersection of LLM orchestration, workflow automation, and compliance-sensitive deployment. We're not building toy demos. We ship production systems for organisations where reliability, auditability, and regulatory posture actually matter. The role We're hiring a lead full-stack developer to take technical ownership of our agentic automation builds and grow a small delivery team. You'll be the person clients trust to architect the solution, and the person our team look to for direction. You'll be doing a mix of: Designing end-to-end agentic workflows (planning, tool use, memory, retrieval, human-in-the-loop checkpoints) Building and shipping client solutions across the stack — backend orchestration, integrations, frontends, infrastructure Leading and reviewing the work of other developers as we scale Working directly with clients to translate ambiguous business problems into reliable automation Setting our technical standards: evals, observability, prompt and tool governance, deployment patterns Required experience 5+ years full-stack development, with strong backend fundamentals (Python and/or TypeScript) Demonstrable production experience with agentic systems — not just chatbots. We want to see agents that plan, use tools, recover from errors, and operate over real workflows Hands-on with at least one major agent framework or orchestration approach (LangGraph, CrewAI, custom orchestration, Claude/OpenAI tool use, MCP, etc.) Experience integrating with enterprise systems via APIs and webhooks (CRM, email, document stores, internal databases) Cloud deployment experience (AWS preferred; Azure or GCP acceptable) Frontend competence in React or similar — you don't need to be a designer, but you should be able to ship a clean client-facing UI Strong written English and clear communication. You'll be talking to non-technical stakeholders regularly Nice to have Experience working in or with regulated industries (healthcare, legal, financial services, education) Familiarity with RAG pipelines, vector stores, and retrieval evaluation Exposure to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, sector-specific regs) Prior tech lead or solo founder experience Comfort with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CDK) Comfortable working with and reviewing the output from agentic coding systems to speed up development (Codex, Claude Code etc.) What we're offering Long-term engagement, starting with a paid trial project Competitive hourly rate (share your expectation in your application) Real ownership and the opportunity to shape how we deliver Interesting, varied work across sectors — no two builds the same How to apply In your proposal, please include: A short summary of an agentic system you've shipped to production. What did it do, what was the architecture, and what broke that you had to fix?
