The role
Proto is hiring a full stack engineer to build and maintain the software and infrastructure behind our AI agent platform – the products that put AI agents in the hands of governments, regulators and businesses across emerging markets.
You will own features from first idea to production, learn our SaaS products inside out and use AI tools every day to move faster and ship better. You will work in a lean, remote-first team where good ideas become live code in days, not quarters.
Location: Pakistan
What you will do
You will turn complex AI capability into products that people actually use.
Build and develop the applications, servers, services and databases that form the foundation of our platform
Develop a complete understanding of our SaaS products and take part in end-to-end product development
Use AI coding assistants and agentic tools daily to design, write, test, debug and review code – and share what works with the team
Proactively improve the architecture and pay down technical debt
Keep the codebase healthy – maintainable, scalable, secure and bug-free – and hold quality to the highest standard, including for code generated by AI
Collaborate with our product, QA and client support teams
What you bring
You are a builder who is equally at home on the server and in the browser.
3+ years' professional experience with Python and TypeScript development
A proven habit of using AI tools – coding assistants, agents, automated testing and review – to raise your speed and output, while checking everything they produce
Good judgement in choosing the right tool for each task, rather than building everything in-house
Backend

Experience with Docker and Docker Compose
Experience with AWS and managing deployments
Experience with micro-services and Kubernetes
Experience with Celery and RabbitMQ
Frontend
Sound knowledge of React and TypeScript
Understanding of modern web principles, and responsive web design

Nice to have
None of these is essential, but each will help you hit the ground running.
Background in natural language processing or computational linguistics
Previous experience at a SaaS or AI company
Fluency in multiple languages
Experience integrating LLMs or AI agents (APIs, prompt design, retrieval)
Familiarity with messaging channels such as WhatsApp, SMS, voice or web chat
