Full Stack AI Engineer

Overview

The TL;DR

We’re looking for someone who can build fast, reliable interfaces for AI systems used by real businesses.

Next.js, React, TypeScript, WebSockets, you should be very comfortable with all of them. If laggy streaming responses or broken real-time updates annoy you more than they should, you’ll probably enjoy working here.

About Alchemyst AI

Alchemyst AI is building the context layer for the agentic web - a verifiable context engine that gives AI agents persistent memory, business data, and operational context so they stay accurate, reliable, and production-ready.

We believe the world is moving toward Agent Era 2.0, where context matters more than prompts. Prompts can be auto-optimized; what can't be faked is deep, tractable, verifiable context. That's the thesis we've bet our entire company on.

We started with context engineering at our core - and we're now horizontally scaling to build custom AI agents across verticals for mid-sized to large enterprises. Our clients include Fortune 500 companies and fast-scaling startups who depend on us to automate complex, domain-specific workflows.

We're backed by both Indian and international investors. We're a team of ~10 today. This is the ground floor.

About the Role

If you’ve used AI products and felt something was off, not because the model was bad, but because the system didn’t behave the way it should , you’ll understand this role.

Do you care about how AI systems actually show up to users?
Do you notice when responses lag, state breaks, or the system stops making sense mid-flow?
Do you think reliability and context matter more than just “getting a response”?

If yes, you’ll fit right in.
As a Full Stack AI Engineer, you won’t just build UI. You’ll own how context-aware agents interact with real users, how they stream, update, expose what they’re doing, and stay consistent under real-world usage. You’re part frontend engineer, part systems thinker, and fully responsible for making the experience work end-to-end.

This is a core team role. You’ll work directly with the co-founders and AI engineers, sit in on client calls, and ship straight to production. There’s no long chain of approvals or handoffs — just you, the problem, and the expectation that you’ll figure it out.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain production-grade Next.js apps
• Own real-time systems, WebSockets, streaming responses, reconnection handling, edge cases when things break
• Design smooth streaming UIs (token rendering, progressive loading, fallback states)
• Write clean, strict TypeScript across frontend and backend boundaries
• Integrate with internal APIs, agent systems, and data pipelines
• Build internal and client-facing tools to inspect agent behavior (logs, traces, context views)
• Join client calls when needed, explain what’s happening under the hood in simple terms

What We’re Looking For

• 0–2 years of experience building production web apps
• Strong fundamentals in React and Next.js
• Solid TypeScript (not just usage, actual type discipline)
• Experience working with WebSockets or real-time systems in production
• Familiarity with streaming UI patterns or async-heavy interfaces

Who You Are

• You care about how software feels, not just whether it works
• You notice latency, broken states, and inconsistent UI — and want to fix them
• You’re comfortable working without fully defined specs
• You can debug issues across frontend and backend when needed

Why Join

You’ll be working on problems most teams avoid — making AI systems usable and reliable in real-world scenarios.

Small team, fast iteration, direct access to founders, and real ownership over what gets built.

Alchemyst AI is an equal opportunity employer.We value diversity of thought, background, and experience.
