Senior Fullstack Developer (with Applied AI Experience)
This is not an AI Research role. This is for builders and nerds.
At Workana, we’re looking for a senior fullstack developer with strong technical skills in Node.js and React, and experience working in production environments. We need someone who thrives on clean code, fast delivery, and impact.
But there’s more: we’re also looking for someone who’s been exploring and integrating AI tools into their projects for at least two years. Not to train models from scratch, but to build smarter, faster, more helpful features for real users.
Requirements
What you’ll do
- Use and experiment with AI tools (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, Hugging Face) to improve workflows, automate tasks, or enhance the user experience.
- Proactively research and pitch AI-driven ideas that could add value to the Workana platform.
- Build fast MVPs using external APIs or lightweight models to test hypotheses and validate concepts.
- Translate early-stage ideas or internal drafts into working prototypes with real user impact.
- Act as a reference for AI integration within squads — technically, but also in terms of product thinking and prioritization.
- Stay curious: learn, test, iterate, and turn insights into things that ship.
What we’re looking for
- 5+ years of experience as a fullstack or backend-heavy developer.
- Strong production experience with Node.js (Express/Nest) and React.js (desirable, not a must).
- Comfortable reading and collaborating with PHP code during migration.
- Real-world experience using Docker, REST APIs, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Hands-on experience integrating AI tools like OpenAI, Claude, Hugging Face, embeddings, agents, or similar.
- At least 2 years actively exploring applied AI — through real projects, not just research.
- Ability to ship MVPs quickly and iterate based on feedback.
- Naturally curious, self-directed, and proactive about exploring new technologies.
Mindset we value
- You care about delivering real impact over building perfect architectures.
- You treat AI as a tool — not magic — and know how to make it useful.
- You’re a strong executor, comfortable with uncertainty, and excited to test fast and learn fast.
Benefits
What’s in it for you
- A high-impact role with autonomy and ownership from day one.
- The chance to shape how Workana adopts AI — across real user-facing features.
- A remote-first company with a bias for action and a culture of continuous learning.
- No micromanagement, no red tape — just bold moves, smart people, and meaningful work.
