What the job involves

- As a Full-Stack Developer / AI Design-to-Dev, you'll transform business ideas into production-ready applications using cutting-edge AI design tools and modern full-stack frameworks





- With a strong bias toward frontend development, you specialize in the critical early stages—from concept through pre-totype to prototype—where design systems meet AI-augmented development

- You're an expert at leveraging tools like v0.dev, bolt.new, and Lovable to rapidly generate components, then building out the complete stack to meet enterprise standards for accessibility, performance, responsive design, and scalability

- You must be able to think fast, work outside the box, and have a passion for pushing the boundaries of what AI can achieve

- You will join a team that thrives on experimentation, moving at a rapid pace from initial concepts through prototypes to production-ready applications

- Rapidly transform concepts into interactive prototypes using v0.dev, bolt.new, Lovable, and similar AI design tools

- Build full-stack applications from prototype to production, with emphasis on frontend excellence and solid backend foundations

- Ensure all components align with existing design systems (design tokens, color palettes, typography, spacing) and brand guidelines

- Develop production-ready UI components using modern frameworks (React.js, Vue.js, Nuxt.js) with best practices for accessibility, performance, and responsive design

- Design and implement RESTful APIs and backend services using platforms like Supabase to support frontend functionality

- Work with databases (SQL and NoSQL) to manage application data efficiently

- Implement authentication, caching strategies, and optimize application performance across the stack

- Collaborate with UX Designers, AI Builders, and Innovation Leads throughout the development lifecycle

- Utilize GitHub Spec-kit and/or Open Spec to streamline development workflows and maintain specification standards

- Leverage Figma and design system tooling to maintain component libraries and streamline design-dev handoff

- Document design decisions and technical implementation in Jira as part of the ticket-driven workflow
