Full-Stack Software Engineer

AI-Native Hardware Design Platform | End-to-End Product Ownership | Exclusive Retained Search

Cadence Connect has been exclusively retained to appoint a Full-Stack Engineer for a high-growth, venture-backed technology company building an AI-native platform for digital hardware design.

This is not a feature-factory role.

This is a “build the product” role.

You will work directly with the founders and core engineering team to take a complex, AI-driven platform from MVP through to production, owning features end-to-end across frontend, backend, data, integration, and deployment.

If you thrive in fast iteration, ambiguous requirements, and high accountability environments, this opportunity won't disappoint.

The role...

You will be responsible for building and integrating the entire product application across multiple deployment modes:

Hosted cloud environments

Customer-controlled sovereign environments

On-prem deployments

Air-gapped installations

This platform transforms design intent into verified hardware outputs through automated workflows. Your job is to make that capability usable, reliable, and elegantly delivered.

You will own features encompassing the full cycle, including.

Requirements Implementation Integration QA Deployment Monitoring

This is a real ownership role.

What will you be doing?

End-to-End Product Development

Designing, building and shipping complete features to production

Making pragmatic architectural decisions that maintain velocity without creating unnecessary technical debt

Turning rough ideas into working features quickly and refining them through real-world feedback

Frontend

Building complex, responsive React interfaces

Designing workflows for long-running compute jobs (progress states, retries, partial results, failure recovery)

Creating intuitive UX for project setup, orchestration, artefact review and results comparison

Building interactive workflow surfaces where required

Backend and APIs

Developing backend services and stable, versioned APIs

Designing durable data models (projects, runs, artefacts, templates, metadata)

Implementing secure, safe-by-default patterns

Integrating with long-running execution workflows

Deployment and Reliability

Shipping across cloud and controlled customer environments

Working with Docker and CI/CD pipelines

Adding observability (logs, metrics, tracing)

Troubleshooting production issues and improving reliability and performance over time

What experience must you bring?

Strong JavaScript / TypeScript

Strong React experience

Backend development experience (Node.js, Python, Go or similar)

API design and development

PostgreSQL or MySQL schema design

Docker and container-based development

Experience deploying to AWS, GCP or Azure

You will be highly adaptable, comfortable moving between frontend, backend and deployment at speed. Your pragmatic problem-solving mindset will compliment your ability to comfortably operate, in a habitat that is (at times) ambiguous and aligned with fast iteration cycles.

Why this role is important...

This platform is rethinking how hardware design is executed. You won’t be polishing low-impact features, you will be shaping how AI-driven engineering tools are delivered into real-world, high-trust customer environments.

It’s a rare opportunity to join early, own deeply, and build something technically ambitious from the ground up.

If you’re a highly technically astute mid-to-senior engineer who loves being challenged, enjoys building properly, and wants genuine end-to-end ownership,

NOTE: Never make payment to any employer, person, company, contractor or agency to get hired for a Job.
