Full Stack AI Engineer

The Role

You'll be joining the Formulate team at Specright - an intelligent, AI-powered workspace for food

and beverage formula development. We're building a product that food and beverage

companies rely on daily. You'll work closely with product leads and other engineers, own

features end to end, and ship frequently. We have a strong team culture: code reviews,

mentorship, and direct feedback are how we grow together.

AI is core to our product - agents that guide users through complex formulation tasks, not

chatbots bolted on as an afterthought. You'll build and maintain the AI-powered features that

make the platform work.

What You'll Do

• Build agentic workflows using frameworks like OpenAI Agents SDK: designing
  
  

tool-calling flows, multi-agent orchestration, and structured reasoning pipelines

• Work with vector embeddings and semantic search to power intelligent matching and
  
  

retrieval

• Evaluate and select the right models for the job. Understand tradeoffs between GPT-5,
  
  

GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, and smaller/faster alternatives

• Write evaluation scripts and tests to keep AI features accurate, safe, and measurable
• Instrument AI calls with observability tooling: trace failures, monitor latency, track quality
  
  

over time

• Partner with product to scope experiments, ship fast, and learn from results What we're looking for:
• 3+ years full-stack experience (React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL)
• Strong fundamentals. You can build a full feature from end to end (UI, APIs, agents,
  
  

tools, etc.), not just the AI part

• Hands-on experience building with agentic frameworks (OpenAI Agents SDK, AI SDK, or
  
  

similar)understanding of embeddings, vector search, and retrieval-augmented patterns

• Familiarity with AI observability and tracing tools (e.g., Helicone, LangSmith, Braintrust, or similar)
• Experience with AI developer workflow tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) as part
  
  

of your coding process

• Experience building or maintaining eval systems for AI-powered features
• Stays current on new models, frameworks, and tooling - and knows when to adopt vs.
  
  

ignore

You'll Thrive Here If You

• Want to build professional AI products
• Take ownership of the full loop: prompt → code → eval → ship → iterate
• Are opinionated about quality but pragmatic about shipping
• Get excited by hard problems at the intersection of AI and real-world domains
  
  

Stack: Next.js

• React
• TypeScript
• Prisma
• PostgreSQL
• OpenAI Agents SDK
• GPT-5
• Vector databases
• Helicone
• Sentry
• Jest
• Playwright
• AWS
