If you live for performance, love solving hard problems, and want your work to actually mean something, you'll fit right in.The Role We're looking for an AI Web Developer to join our Operational Technology team and take internal ownership of the web layer of Stratos, Directive's AI-powered marketing analytics platform, along with our company website and other internal web surfaces. Stratos has been built in partnership with an external agency, and we're bringing the web engineering in-house to move faster, respond to our internal team and clients in hours instead of weeks, and compound platform knowledge that stays with Directive. You'll be the first dedicated internal owner of this surface, with a clear growth path to senior scope as Stratos does. AI-assisted development is core to how you work: you use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Copilot to move from spec to production fast, while still shipping clean, reviewed React and TypeScript that we can maintain for years.Roles & ResponsibilitiesOwn and evolve the web surfaces that power Directive: the internal strategist portal, the external client portal, the reporting builder, campaign management tools, admin and portfolio surfaces, and the company marketing siteBuild and maintain the ads and campaign management UI on top of third-party ad APIs, including campaign builders, bulk edit flows, audience and budget management, and creative toolingBuild and maintain data metrics views and dashboards backed by BigQuery, MySQL and Postgres including widget components, chart rendering, and the queries that drive themManage containerization via Docker and AWS infrastructure, overseeing EC2 deployments and DevOps pipelines with a focus on reliable delivery and automation.Manage GitHub Actions and automated CI/CD pipelines; ensures reliable iteration within staging and seamless delivery to productionDesign and optimize relational database schemas and data structuresMaintain highly-available and scalable architectures; oversees Nginx setups, load balancing, and secure infrastructure to ensure system resilienceOwn the reporting UI end-to-end: report list, create, details, template management, PDF export, drag-and-drop widget reorder, and widget-level date overridesOwn the admin and portfolio surfaces: client CRUD, user management, OAuth flows, CRM integration configuration, and alertingOwn the background and integration layer: queue-based sync jobs, CRM sync (Salesforce, HubSpot), ad platform integrations (LinkedIn, Google Ads, Meta), data pipelines, auth and sessions, logging, and error trackingPartner on the AI-facing UI layer: surface LLM outputs, streaming responses, tool runs, and agent conversations cleanly, with clear states for loading, error, and partial resultsUse AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) as a daily accelerator to scaffold, iterate, and refactor production React/TypeScript, with strong review instincts so AI-generated code meets our barTranslate Figma mockups and loose specs into production-ready components, owning design system usage, accessibility (WCAG), and performanceHandle auth, RBAC, and safe data exposure patterns (row-level security, parameterized queries, least-privilege keys) on the web tierAdd telemetry and error tracking so issues are detected and diagnosed before clients see them, and product decisions are backed by dataAbsorb ownership of modules from our outgoing agency partner: review existing code, document patterns, stabilize rough edges, and evolve them inside our internal roadmapShip, support, and iterate: fix bugs, improve performance, reduce load times, and evolve UX based on real usageDocument components, patterns, and trade-offs so the team can build on top of your workWhat You Offer /QualificationsExperience: 3+ years of professional web development with production ownership of user-facing applications.Frontend: Strong in React and TypeScript; comfortable with modern frameworks (Next.js, Remix, or similar); fluent in component design, state management, and performance profilingFull-Stack Range: Owns the backend glue as well as the UI: API routes, serverless functions, auth flows, database queries, background jobsAI-Assisted Development: Uses Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or equivalent as a daily tool to accelerate real frontend engineering. You ship production React/TypeScript, not platform-locked low-code output. You know how to prompt, review, and refactor AI-generated code without shipping AI-generated bugsLLM Integration: Experience wiring LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) into web apps: streaming, tool/function calling, structured outputs, timeouts, retries, guardrailsData & SQL: Comfortable querying MySQL, Postgres and BigQuery; can shape data for UI consumption and validate resultsAdvanced SQL & Query Layer: Mastery of Knex and MySQL to architect high-performance, scalable data structures and queriesRelational & Real-time Data: Proficient in MySQL, Postgres, and Supabase (or equivalent); deeply understands RLS, storage, edge functions, and real-time subscription patternsAPIs & Integrations: REST/GraphQL, OAuth2/OIDC/JWT, webhooks, pagination, rate limits, idempotency; comfortable integrating with HubSpot, Salesforce, LinkedIn Ads, Google Ads, GA4, or equivalentBackground Jobs: Familiar with queue-based systems (BullMQ, SQS, or similar) for sync jobs, scheduled tasks, and long-running workCloud Delivery: Ships to managed platforms (GCP or AWS) with CI/CD and observability in placeDesign Sensibility: Takes a Figma file or a rough sketch and produces a polished, on-brand, accessible UI without a designer holding your handOwnership & Communication: Operates well with imperfect specs and inherited code.
