Senior Full-Stack Engineer - AI Agent Platform

About the Role

We're building an AI-powered financial crime investigation platform that's transforming how Ebury's compliance teams work. Our AI agents will process thousands of screening cases, reducing analyst workload while maintaining regulatory standards.

We're looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to help us scale our platform and raise the engineering bar. You'll architect and deliver complex features across the entire stack - from React frontends to Python backends to LLM integrations - while mentoring teammates and shaping our technical direction.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI/ML, fintech, and compliance - building production AI systems that handle real financial crime investigations at scale.

What You'll Do

Architect and build end-to-end features across our React frontend and FastAPI backend, making sound technical decisions that balance speed with maintainability

Design AI agent workflows using LangGraph for screening automation, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent orchestration

Lead technical initiatives - own complex features from design to production, breaking down ambiguous problems into actionable work

Integrate complex data sources (internal APIs, third-party services like LexisNexis, data warehouse) with robust error handling and observability

Improve platform reliability - implement monitoring, alerting, and performance optimizations for production AI systems

Mentor and uplift junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance

Shape engineering practices - contribute to architecture decisions, coding standards, and team processes

Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, Compliance, and other engineering teams to deliver impactful solutions

Tech Stack

Frontend:

React, TypeScript, Material-UI

Module Federation (Micro-frontend architecture)

Vite, Vitest

Backend:

Python 3.13, FastAPI

LangGraph (AI agent orchestration)

LlamaIndex (RAG/vector search)

AWS Bedrock

DynamoDB, OpenSearch Serverless

Infrastructure:

Terraform, GitHub Actions

Docker, Kubernetes

Sentry, Langfuse (LLM observability)

What We're Looking For

Must Have

5+ years of professional software engineering experience

Strong React + TypeScript skills - you can architect complex frontend applications with good state management, performance, and testing

Strong Python backend experience - FastAPI, Django, or Flask with async programming, clean architecture, and production-grade code

System design skills - you can design scalable, maintainable systems and articulate trade-offs clearly

API design expertise - REST, WebSockets/SSE, and understanding of distributed systems patterns

Database proficiency - SQL and NoSQL (DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, OpenSearch), including query optimization and data modeling

Testing mindset - you write comprehensive tests and advocate for quality across the team

Ownership mentality - you take features from idea to production, proactively identifying and solving problems

Strong communication - you can explain complex technical concepts to engineers and non-engineers alike, and write clear documentation

Mentorship ability - you enjoy helping others grow and have experience guiding less experienced engineers

Nice to Have

LLM/AI experience - LangChain, LangGraph, RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, or fine-tuning

Production AI systems - experience with LLM observability (Langfuse), token management, streaming, and reliability patterns

AWS expertise - Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, Bedrock, or similar cloud services

Streaming architectures - SSE, WebSockets, event-driven systems

Fintech/compliance background - AML, sanctions screening, KYC, or regulated industry experience

Technical leadership - You don't just complete tasks; you identify the right problems to solve and influence technical direction

Systems thinking - You consider the broader context: scalability, security, observability, and maintainability

Proactive communication - You surface risks early, propose solutions, and keep stakeholders informed

Quality advocacy - You raise the bar for testing, code review, and documentation across the team

Pragmatic decision-making - You balance ideal solutions with delivery timelines, making conscious trade-offs

Continuous learning - You stay current with industry trends and bring new ideas to the team
