Who We Are
At Bluehost, we believe all small businesses deserve the opportunity to succeed. Our mission is to give small businesses the confidence to think big. We're the all-in-one platform for small businesses to grow with powerful simplicity, premium performance, smart tools and human support.
Bluehost is in growth mode, and this role is part of the team building the next generation of AI-powered customer experiences. You'll work across the stack, from React front ends to Java/Spring Boot services, APIs, data layers, and AI/LLM integrations. You'll have the opportunity to design and ship production systems while developing strong skills in system design, scalability, reliability, and AI engineering.
What You'll Do & How You'll Make Your Mark
- Build and ship AI-powered, customer-facing experiences, integrating React with scalable Java/Spring Boot backend services and AI/LLM capabilities.
- Work across the stack, building React experiences backed by Java/Spring Boot services, REST APIs, databases, and AI/LLM services.
- Build production AI features using LLM/model APIs, tool/function calling, and agentic workflows where appropriate.
- Translate product requirements into clean, maintainable, well-tested code, including unit, integration, and API tests across frontend, backend, and AI components.
- Participate actively in code review and pull-request discussions, both giving and receiving feedback that sharpens the whole team's craft
- Debug and resolve production issues across frontend, Java services, APIs, databases, and AI components using logs, tracing, browser tooling, and monitoring dashboards.
- Ship features that reach small-business customers directly, in an Agile/Scrum cadence with real sprint ownership
- Contribute to a fast-moving, modernizing codebase while identifying opportunities to improve architecture, scalability, reliability, AI quality, and developer experience.
- Participate in technical design and architecture decisions, considering scalability, reliability, latency, cost, security, data flow, caching, asynchronous processing, and failure handling.
Who You Are & What You'll Need to Succeed
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally building customer-facing production systems.
- Strong proficiency in React, including hooks, component composition, state management, and building production-quality user experiences.
- Solid grasp of modern JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, and CSS3 fundamentals, with strong proficiency in Java and object-oriented programming.
- Strong understanding of REST APIs and backend services, with the ability to design, consume, debug, and trace issues end-to-end across frontend, Java services, databases, and AI integrations.
- Hands-on experience with Java and Spring Boot, including building production-grade REST APIs and backend services.
- Strong understanding of system design fundamentals, including API design, databases, caching, asynchronous processing, messaging/queues, scalability, reliability, observability, and distributed-system tradeoffs.
- Ability to reason about AI and system-design tradeoffs across quality, latency, cost, scalability, reliability, and security.
- Hands-on experience building production applications using Generative AI/LLMs, with experience in or more of RAG, embeddings/vector search, prompt engineering, tool/function calling, agents, or LLM evaluation.
- AI-augmented delivery: you use AI across the delivery lifecycle, not just code generation, and can say which models suit which problems and where you don't use them. You review AI-generated code knowing its failure modes, and you work within clear boundaries for what customer data enters a prompt and what a security or compliance review will ask for.
- Bonus: experience with Python, TypeScript, SQL, AWS/Azure/GCP, Kafka, Redis, vector databases, AI/ML frameworks, LLM evaluation/observability, or AI application frameworks such as LangChain/LangGraph.
