About the Role

Shava Studios is building AI-native software products. We are hiring a Mid Senior Full-Stack Engineer to own features end-to-end across the frontend and backend, with depth in system architecture and the AI and real-time systems that connect them. We hire for demonstrated ability rather than years of experience.

Technical Environment

1. Frontend: Next.js (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, MUI, Radix UI, TanStack Query, Zustand, NextAuth; Remotion for in-browser video editing and rendering.
2. Backend: Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy with PostgreSQL and Alembic, Pydantic; hexagonal (ports-and-adapters) microservices.
3. Async & Real-Time: Celery with RabbitMQ, Redis and Redis Streams, server-sent events, and WebSockets.
4. AI: LangGraph, deepagents, and LangChain for agent orchestration across multiple GenAI providers (OpenAI, Google, and others).
5. Tooling & Quality: Vitest, Playwright, Testing Library, pytest, Hypothesis; ruff and mypy; TDD with a strict line-and-branch coverage gate; Docker; CI on Azure Pipelines.

Responsibilities

1. Design, build, and ship full-stack features end-to-end across the UI, backend services, and async job pipelines.
2. Design and evolve service APIs, data models, and database schemas with migrations.
3. Architect and integrate LLM/agent and other AI capabilities behind clean, provider-agnostic abstractions.
4. Build and harden real-time systems (WebSockets, server-sent events, streaming) with reliable delivery and reconnection semantics.
5. Design asynchronous processing pipelines: queuing, workers, retries, idempotency, and failure recovery.
6. Manage third-party integrations (payments, AI providers, storage) behind well-defined interfaces.
7.



Optimize frontend and backend performance, state management, and scalability.
8. Own security-sensitive concerns: authentication, authorization, secret handling, and secure service-to-service communication.
9. Instrument observability: logging, metrics, tracing, and structured error handling.
10. Uphold and evolve the architecture and engineering standards through technical design and code review.
11. Mentor engineers and raise the quality bar across the team.

Requirements

1. Proven full-stack delivery across a React/TypeScript frontend and a Python (or comparable) backend.
2. Sound judgment on architecture, API design, and data modeling, with the ability to articulate trade-offs.
3. Rigorous testing discipline and comfort with TDD and high coverage standards.
4. Ability to work with LLM/GenAI systems; direct experience preferred, though strong engineers eager to learn are welcome.
5. Technical leadership: thoughtful code review, clear technical writing, and a focus on root-cause fixes.

Nice to Have

1. Production experience with LLM/agent systems (LangGraph, LangChain, or similar).
2. Media or video pipelines: encoding, timeline editors, or serverless rendering.
3. Async worker systems (Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis).
4. Payments/billing and metering systems under concurrency.
5. Hexagonal architecture, ports-and-adapters, or DDD experience.

Growth

The role offers substantial influence over architecture and a explicit path toward staff-level technical leadership for engineers who raise the team's standards.

Skills:- React.js, NodeJS (Node.js), Python, FastAPI, Large Language Models (LLM), Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), Data Structures and Systems analysis and design
