Python React Full Stack Jobs in Boston, MA (NOW HIRING)

Plastik AI is harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to revolutionize the plastic and plastic compounding industries, bridging the gap between engineers using plastics and manufacturers creating them. At the core of our platform is Herman, an advanced AI agent designed to match product requirements with ideal plastic compounds. Herman leverages a combination of public and proprietary data to enable rapid and precise material recommendation, which can be easily ordered within a marketplace.

We are looking for a skilled Full-stack Software Engineer to play a key role in building the front-end and back-end infrastructure for tools and interfaces that make Herman accessible to engineers and manufacturing companies. In this role, you will mainly drive and implement the design, development, test, and delivery of UI features that expose the portfolio’s rich capabilities for users while providing exceptional easy-to-use experiences.

Our ideal candidate has more experience with front-end development but is capable of interfacing with the entire stack for rapid feature deployment. We see a combination of these skills as crucial for helping us meld our novel user experiences with AI Agents to enable easy plastic selection, sourcing, and logistics. This transformative approach unlocks new possibilities in plastics innovation, enabling faster, smarter, and more efficient product development and material discovery.

As part of our cross-disciplinary team, you will work alongside MIT-trained engineers, scientists, and business professionals to build a groundbreaking AI platform for the plastics industry. Join us in transforming how the world approaches plastic materials through cutting-edge technology and innovation.
