We are looking for a </span>Senior Fullstack Engineer<span> to join our IT Strategy function. In this role, you will be the bridge between technical complexity and business utility, sitting directly between our Solution Architect and Platform Infrastructure Engineer.</span></p><p><span>You will own the application layer of our "Agent Factory," specifically focused on </span>building the agentic solutions and workflows that employees need to excel in their everyday jobs.<span> You will be designing "digital teammates" and "Utility Agents" that handle the repetitive, complex, or data-heavy tasks that comprise our future workforce's daily life. You understand that AI is a systems engineering challenge, not just a prompt engineering task. You will have the autonomy to select and deploy the right modern, open-source tools to orchestrate agentic workflows, integrate internal Systems of Record with Sovereign LLMs, and build the interfaces that power our Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) architecture.</span></p><p></p><p><b><b>What You Will Do</b></b></p><p><b><b>1.

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) & Frontend</b></b></p><ul><li><p>Dashboard Development:<span> Build lightweight, secure frontend dashboards where business managers can review, approve, or reject high-risk actions proposed by autonomous agents.</span></p></li><li><p>User Interface:<span> Quickly spin up clean, functional internal tooling and approval interfaces using modern frameworks (React, Vue, or Svelte) that integrate seamlessly into the user's existing workspace.</span></p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>4. Data Engineering & RAG Pipelines</b></p><ul><li><p>Robust Data Ingestion:<span> Design pipelines connecting disparate internal data sources (e.g. Confluence, Jira, PDFs) to Vector Databases to ensure agents have the context they need to assist employees accurately.</span></p></li><li><p>Retrieval Optimization:<span> Optimize chunking, embedding, and retrieval strategies to minimize noise and maximize the accuracy of RAG-based systems.</span></p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>5.
