Job Description
We are seeking a talented Full Stack Developer (AI-Enabled) to join us. This role combines strong full stack engineering expertise with hands-on fluency in AI-assisted development tools to design, build, and deliver modern digital solutions at speed and scale. You'll work across the entire application stack - from intuitive user interfaces to robust APIs and data services - while leveraging AI coding assistants and, where appropriate, integrating AI capabilities into the products you build. You will help the team raise engineering productivity and quality through smart, responsible use of AI, and contribute to shaping how NCS delivers AI-enabled software to our clients.
Key Responsibilities
Full Stack Application Development
- Design, develop, test, and deploy end-to-end web applications spanning frontend, backend services, APIs, and data layers
- Translate functional and non-functional requirements into well-architected, maintainable software components using established design patterns
- Build and maintain microservices and RESTful / GraphQL APIs using modern stacks such as Java/Spring Boot, .NET, Python, or Node.js
- Develop responsive, accessible user interfaces using modern JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue)
- Model data and work with both SQL and NoSQL databases; design efficient queries, schemas, and integration patterns
- Contribute to architecture discussions and trade-off analyses for performance, scalability, security, and cost
AI-Assisted Software Engineering
- Use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Amazon Q Developer, Gemini Code Assist, JetBrains AI Assistant, or equivalent) as a daily part of the development workflow
- Leverage AI tools to accelerate coding, refactoring, code review, unit test generation, test data creation, and documentation
- Apply prompt engineering and context-design techniques to get high-quality, trustworthy outputs from AI coding assistants
- Critically review AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, licensing, and alignment with project and NCS coding standards before committing
- Measure and communicate the productivity and quality impact of AI-assisted workflows on project delivery
AI Solution Integration & Delivery
- Integrate AI and Generative AI capabilities into enterprise applications - including LLM-powered features, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), chatbots and virtual assistants, intelligent document processing, recommendations, and agentic workflows
- Build against foundation model APIs and managed AI services such as Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI / Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and OpenAI
- Work with vector databases and AI application frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel; pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) to deliver context-aware experiences
- Design AI features with clear evaluation criteria, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints
- Partner with data scientists, AI/ML engineers, and solution architects to take AI capabilities from prototype to production
- Contribute to pre-sales and client engagements by prototyping AI-enabled features and shaping practical, value-driven solution designs
Quality Engineering & Secure Coding
- Follow secure coding principles and NCS security guidelines to prevent common vulnerabilities across frontend, backend, and AI integrations
- Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; meet project and organisation test coverage targets
- Perform static code analysis, code reviews, and threat-aware reviews of AI-generated code and AI-integrated features
- Address defects, performance issues, and production incidents through disciplined root-cause analysis
DevOps & Continuous Delivery
- Adopt Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD practices to deliver software iteratively and reliably
- Build and maintain pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) for automated build, test, and deployment
- Containerise applications and deploy to container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Instrument applications for observability - logs, metrics, traces, and, where applicable, AI-feature evaluation telemetry
Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing
- Partner with business analysts, designers, data scientists, and product owners to translate user needs into working software
- Participate in and lead peer reviews, design reviews, and knowledge-sharing sessions
- Mentor junior developers on full stack engineering fundamentals and effective, responsible use of AI tools
- Document designs, APIs, and AI-integration patterns in a clear and reusable way
Responsible AI & Engineering Excellence
- Champion responsible use of AI tools, including IP protection, client data handling, confidentiality, and licence-compliance considerations
- Help define and uphold team guardrails and standards for AI-assisted development and AI-integrated products
- Stay current with the rapidly evolving AI tooling, model, and framework landscape, and bring relevant advances back to the team
- Contribute to NCS assets, reusable components, and reference implementations that accelerate future AI-enabled delivery
