Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Senior Full Stack Engineer role in the AI Lab at The Economist Group, focused on building interactive prototypes that bring AI models into user-facing tools, particularly via web and mobile interfaces, to reimagine journalism for an AI-driven world.
- • Day-to-day responsibilities include building interactive prototypes with LLM capabilities (chat/audio agents), implementing voice interaction flows, collaborating with design to integrate Figma flows, integrating LLM outputs and voice services into frontend experiences, contributing to React/Next.js frontend components, and working with Python-based AI infrastructure (FastAPI, LangChain-like pipelines) for model calls and audio processing.
- • The AI Lab is a small, fast-moving innovation unit within The Economist Group, operating as a dedicated team of engineers, designers, and product leads, working globally with colleagues in the UK and Europe to explore novel AI-driven interactions in text, voice, and visuals.
- • In this role, you will ship products from zero-to-one, directly influence how millions of readers interact with journalism, gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge GenAI technologies, and develop expertise in multimodal interfaces, rapid prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration in an R&D environment.
🎯 Requirements
- • 5+ years of experience in frontend or full-stack development with strong UX instinct
- • Fluency in React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript, ideally with Next.js
- • Strong working knowledge of browser audio APIs and libraries for voice interaction (e.g., Web Speech API, MediaRecorder, Web Audio, or integrations with ElevenLabs/HeyGen/VibeVoice)
🏖️ Benefits
- • Highly competitive pension or 401(k) plan
- • Private health insurance and 24/7 access to counselling and wellbeing resources via Employee Assistance Program
- • Work From Anywhere program allowing up to 25 days per year of remote work from any location with legal right to work
- • Selected Category: Full-Stack Engineer
- • Parent Category: Engineering
- • Confidence: 0.95
- • Reasoning: The job title explicitly states 'Senior Full Stack Engineer', and the description emphasizes full-stack development with React/Next.js, frontend/backend integration, and UI-focused implementation—clearly aligning with the Full-Stack Engineer subcategory under Engineering. No ambiguity exists; the role is not primarily focused on data science, design, or other engineering specializations despite mentioning AI tools and Python collaboration.
