Both our client service and culture are second to none, stemming from our firmwide embrace of our core values: Flightline started as an AI-native start-up built to rethink how consulting work gets done: how research is gathered, how analysis comes together, and how insight reaches the people making decisions. In October 2026, Stout, a global advisory firm with more than 30 years of experience and 1,000+ professionals, acquired Flightline to put itself at the forefront of how AI is changing knowledge work. For 20+ years, Stout Strategy has advised private equity firms and global Fortune 1000 corporates on investment diligence and growth strategy, with over 500 PE processes and more than 1,000 corporate growth strategy assessments behind it. The combination is rare: technology built the way a start-up builds it, with deep domain expertise in-house to define what great work looks like. That’s how we intend to be the fastest to market, with the highest-quality work. As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer in our Applied Innovation Group, you get the best of both worlds: working at the frontier of AI and knowledge work, inside a firm with the clients, expertise and scale to make it succeed. You will work closely with the Managing Director, Applied Innovation, who leads the group, and collaborate day to day with the other engineers and our UI/UX and product colleagues, while owning meaningful elements of the platform. Work on a real product that consultants use on live client work, across the whole stack, and see the effect of what you ship quickly. Learn quickly: new domains, new parts of the system and recent AI tooling, alongside a small team that will help you get up to speed. Turn expert judgment into engineering: the evals, tests and checks that make AI-generated work trustworthy.



Ship features from refined requirements to production across the frontend and the backend. Take ownership of areas of the platform, such as a data pipeline, a service or a part of the UI. Work on the LLM-backed core of the product, including extraction, retrieval, chat and content generation, and help measure and improve output quality. Use AI coding agents as a core part of the development workflow: break work into well-specified tasks, review agent output closely, and take over when writing the code by hand is faster or safer. Build the tests, evals and checks that make AI-assisted changes quick to verify and secure to ship. Five or more years of professional software engineering across the full stack: user interfaces, server-side logic, APIs, data stores and background processing, including running what you build in production. We care more about what you’ve shipped and run than about the number of years. Experience in the languages and frameworks you know best. We use React, TypeScript and Python today, but we don’t require any of them. The ability to understand how logic and data flow through a system, and to trace a problem end to end across its components. Daily use of AI coding tools: writing clear specs and acceptance criteria an agent can execute, reviewing output closely, knowing when to write the code by hand, and building the tests and checks that make AI-assisted changes protected to ship,



without being dogmatic about any one tool. Clear written and spoken communication, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to consultants without jargon. Experience with LLM applications, such as retrieval, structured output, orchestration and context management, and with turning vague quality feedback into testable checks, such as building an eval when an output feels thin. Push back constructively on vague requirements and help product and design make them clearer.
