Job Description

CPGIO is seeking a Senior-level AI Engineer who thrives in modern, high-velocity development environments using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI-assisted coding workflows. This role is for someone who can build real-world applications end-to-end, move quickly without breaking fundamentals, and help push our platform into the future of agentic commerce intelligence.

CPGIO has been operating for 13+ years and is building the next generation of multichannel ecommerce solutions — including AI reasoning agents, machine learning, and data science systems — supporting 100,000+ active listings across top U.S. retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, TikTok, Shopify, and Target+.

You’ll work directly inside our internal task management dashboard and platform systems, developing features, optimizing performance, refactoring architecture, and building production-ready AI systems that power real business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities — What You’ll Do

• Build and improve our internal task management dashboard and operator tooling
• Create new features, refactor code, optimize performance, and improve UI/UX
• Rapidly prototype and iterate on complex visualization concepts
• Balance user feature requests with technical feasibility and maintainability
• Design pragmatic, scalable event-driven architectures
• Make build-vs-buy-vs-generate decisions for system components and services
• Write detailed technical specs that other developers can execute cleanly
• Prototype complex React components and data visualizations
• Design and maintain database schemas, migrations, and ETL pipelines
• Build proofs-of-concept and production deployments for AI / LLM integration
• Implement unit and integration testing, ensuring reliability as the system scales
• Manage large datasets, data modeling, database performance, and long-term maintainability

Required & Preferred Qualifications — What You’ll Need Think Like This:

• “Let’s keep exploring.” You iterate until it’s right — not just “done”
• “What makes this easier to maintain?” You build for long-term productivity
• “No coding yet—let me think.” You plan before you build
• You love shipping, but you don’t ship chaos

Must Have Experience With:

AI-Assisted Engineering

• Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable AI engineering workflows
• Building real applications using “vibe coding” style environments — but still clean, testable, scalable

Frontend

• React
• Next.js
• TypeScript
• Complex UI systems and data visualization

Backend

• Python (FastAPI and/or Django strongly preferred)
• Node.js (nice-to-have)
• REST APIs and/or GraphQL APIs

Data & Systems

• Managing large datasets
• PostgreSQL (or strong relational DB experience)
• Database migrations + schema evolution
• ETL pipelines, transformations, and data integrity systems
• Cloud databases and production deployments

Quality

• Unit testing and integration testing
• Familiarity with CI/CD workflows and maintaining reliable systems

Huge Plus (Preferred):

• LangChain / tool calling / agent frameworks
• RAG systems and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, etc.)
• Event sourcing and microservices
• Real-time systems and stream processing
• Strong design instincts for turning complexity into intuitive UI

What Makes You Different

• You can visualize complex systems as clean interfaces
• You challenge requirements and propose better alternatives
• You research deeply but decide decisively
• You document your thinking process — not just your code
• You can demonstrate real-world application development (not just tutorials)

What We Offer:

• Salary Range: $80,000 – $120,000
• Performance Bonus: Eligible for performance-based bonuses (amount varies by impact & role scope)

Benefits

• 401(k)
• Dental insurance
• Flexible schedule
• Flexible spending account
• Happy hour

• Health savings account
