Careers
Build thoughtful software with us.
At Artdex & Cognoscis, we love tackling real-world challenges with technology. Our current hiring is primarily for Finycs — a cloud-based accounting and analytics platform for growing businesses. If it resonates with you and you are excited to contribute, we would love to hear from you.
What we look for
- Technical curiosity and willingness to learn unfamiliar technologies
- Ownership and initiative without losing sight of team priorities
- Clarity in communication and openness to feedback
- Product awareness — why a feature matters, not only how to build it
- Care for quality, security, maintainability and the end-user experience
Open roles
Full-Stack Developer
Python/Django, React and Applied AI
Own useful features end to end across Django APIs, React interfaces, data workflows and carefully chosen AI capabilities. You will work closely with a small team, take meaningful ownership and help turn real business requirements into reliable software.
What you will do
- Design and deliver complete product features across Django/DRF backends and React frontends.
- Translate business and customer needs into maintainable technical solutions.
- Design REST APIs, database models and background-processing workflows.
- Write tests, review code, debug production issues and improve performance and reliability.
- Work with PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch and cloud infrastructure as the project requires.
- Build or integrate applied AI capabilities when they create measurable user value.
- Communicate progress, technical trade-offs and risks clearly within the team and with clients.
Core requirements
- 3+ years of professional software-development experience.
- Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with Django and Django REST Framework.
- Experience designing, testing and maintaining production REST APIs.
- Practical React experience using modern JavaScript (ES6+), hooks and reusable component patterns.
- Familiarity with TypeScript or the ability to become productive with it quickly.
- Strong SQL fundamentals and experience with PostgreSQL schema design, indexes and query troubleshooting.
- Understanding of authentication, authorization and secure API development.
- Experience with automated testing, Git-based workflows and collaborative code reviews.
- Working knowledge of Docker and application deployment.
- Ability to independently break down moderately complex problems and deliver maintainable solutions.
- Clear written and verbal communication, ownership and care for product quality.
Applied AI experience — preferred
This is a full-stack engineering role with applied AI responsibilities, not a model-research position. We value practical experience shipping reliable AI-enabled software.
- Integrating an LLM or ML inference API into a production, open-source or substantial personal application.
- Structured model outputs, tool/function calling, embeddings, semantic search or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
- Evaluating AI output with representative test cases and measurable acceptance criteria.
- Awareness of hallucinations, prompt injection, sensitive-data exposure and unsafe model actions.
- Handling model latency, retries, rate limits, token usage, observability and cost.
- Responsible use of AI-assisted development tools, including reviewing, testing and owning generated code.
- Good judgment about when a deterministic software solution is more appropriate than AI.
Good to have
- Celery, RabbitMQ or other asynchronous processing systems.
- Elasticsearch, Redis, MySQL or MongoDB.
- AWS or GCP, CI/CD pipelines, Nginx and production observability.
- Experience with multi-tenant SaaS applications or data-intensive products.
- Pandas, scikit-learn and practical ML fundamentals such as validation, precision/recall, data leakage and model drift.
- Experience working directly with customers or converting ambiguous requirements into deliverable increments.
