In brief
Overview This role is for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer specializing in AI Products at Badger Holdings (Pty) Ltd. Badger Holdings is a specialized insurance and related services company, established in 1995, employing over 700 staff across South Africa and Australia, and insuring over 180,000 clients. The position is full-time and on-site in George, Western Cape, within the ARC AI division, where the focus is on developing intelligent agents for a regulated insurance environment. The core of the role involves transforming powerful AI systems into practical, user-facing products. What you will do The Senior Full-Stack Engineer will design and build the interfaces, APIs, and the product layer that bridges AI and human interaction. This includes shaping user experiences with AI through chat interfaces, workflows, and human-in-the-loop review systems to maintain control over agent decisions before they reach customers, ensuring smooth operation even when AI performance is unpredictable. The role involves owning the full stack, encompassing frontend experiences for streaming and uncertain AI outputs, backend services connecting AI to core systems, and the pipelines for shipping these products into production. Additionally, the engineer will be responsible for building observability and feedback loops to continuously enhance AI agent performance in real-world production environments. This is a hands-on role with significant ownership, where the developed products are directly visible to customers and leadership. Requirements (from the original advert) * Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience demonstrating shipped production AI work. * 5+ years’ experience in full-stack software engineering roles. * Demonstrated experience shipping user-facing AI or LLM-powered products into production environments. * Experience with non-deterministic systems, variable latency, and designing experiences that gracefully manage failure, partial responses, and uncertainty in AI-powered products. * Confidence across the stack, including: * Modern frontend frameworks (React or similar). * Backend/API development (Node.js, Python, or similar). * REST/GraphQL APIs at scale. * Secure, compliant data handling in regulated environments. * Experience building systems where reliability, security, and control are critical, including authentication, validation, and enforcing boundaries at the API layer. * Comfort owning the full lifecycle: from design and development to CI/CD and deployment. Who should apply The ideal candidate is an experienced full-stack engineer who has successfully delivered AI-powered products into production. They should possess a deep understanding of the unique challenges in building for AI, including working with non-deterministic systems, handling variable latency, and designing user experiences that effectively manage failure, partial responses, and uncertainty. A strong background in building systems where reliability, security, and control are paramount, particularly in regulated environments, is essential. Bonus points are given for experience with conversational interfaces, Azure, LLM observability tools, complex system integrations like CRM platforms, or training/certifications in secure software development or data protection (e.g., GDPR/POPIA awareness).
