Full-Stack Engineer; AI

About Sobek AI

Sobek AI is building the secure nervous system for life‑sciences innovation networks and intergovernmental emergency response. Backed by $10M+ in grants and funding, we partner with globally significant organizations to accelerate mission‑critical, distributed workflows with AI—while protecting IP and sensitive public‑health data.

We’re looking for a bedrock full‑stack hire to own product surfaces end‑to‑end—from shaping the UI to the services and data models behind it. This is a high‑impact, high‑ownership role focused on turning complex, Gen AI workflows into trustworthy software.

• Own features across the stack. Take ideas from conception to production: UX flows → React/Type Script UI → well‑scoped Python/Type Script APIs/services → production rollout and measurement.

• Build intuitive, data‑dense interfaces. Tables, complex forms, document views, comparisons for modern Gen AI workflows, while keeping these accessible and responsive.

• Design and operate services. Create clear REST/gRPC/streaming endpoints, model data in SQL/No
  
  SQl + vector stores, use queues/caches when it helps, and add tracing/metrics.

• AI orchestration. Extend orchestration that reliably manages multi‑LLM workflows with the right controls for cost, latency, and security/auditability.

• Ship quickly, iterate with users. Prototype, launch behind flags, collect feedback/telemetry, and refine.

• Collaborate deeply. Partner with engineers across the stack to translate real needs into reliable software.

• Be a force multiplier. Drive reviews and ADRs across frontend and backend and set patterns others can scale.

• 4+ years of full‑time software engineering experience.

• You’ve owned and shipped full‑stack software in production—from UI (bonus for React/Type Script ) through backend services (
  bonus for Python or Node.js
  )—and you understand the deployment pipeline in product environments where quality and speed both matter.

• Comfortable designing API contracts (paging, errors, retries) and debugging end‑to‑end with logs/traces.

• Can reason about concurrency, consistency, and event‑driven architectures.

• You care about accessibility, performance, and security hygiene in production.

• CS degree (BS/MS) or equivalent foundation.

• UI/UX design experience: can create wireframes, user flows, and lightweight interactive prototypes

• Worked with sensitive data (life sciences, government) or regulated environments (HIPAA/PHI, SOC 2/ISO).

• Experience instrumenting product metrics that connect UX to system behavior.

• Streaming/real‑time patterns; virtualized data‑grids; compare/diff workflows.

• Compensation: $170K–$230K + meaningful equity

• Location: Hybrid (Seattle, WA)

• Benefits: 100% Company‑paid premium health coverage (including dependents)

• Visa: We do not sponsor visas for this role at this time
