About Neon One

At Neon One, we believe that technology is the key to building vibrant communities of generosity. As a leader in nonprofit software since 2004, we create intuitive solutions that help small and mid-sized nonprofits connect with people, build trust, and make good happen every day.

Our culture is powered by empathy, innovation, and a shared mission to empower organizations making a difference. We operate with a customer-first mindset, take pride in extraordinary results, and grow together by supporting each other and embracing bold new ideas. If you’re passionate about using your skills to drive real impact and want to thrive in a collaborative, fully remote environment, Neon One is the place for you.

The Opportunity: Building the future of Non-Profit Technology

As an Agentic/AI Engineer at Neon One, you won’t just write code—you’ll help shape the future of our nonprofit platform by bringing AI-powered solutions into our products. You will collaborate on building highly performant, serverless applications using Node.js, Vue micro front-ends, and the PrimeVue design system, while integrating large language models (LLMs) and AI agents to enhance workflows and automate tasks.

While our long-term vision is serverless and service-oriented, you’ll also support and evolve our legacy PHP/Laravel applications, ensuring a smooth transition as we scale our modern ecosystem. You’ll experiment with prompts, develop agent behaviors, and work alongside product and engineering teams to apply AI in ways that create real impact for our users.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and Build Modern Solutions: Design, develop, and maintain scalable serverless functions using Node.js/TypeScript, along with modular micro front-end applications built with Vue.js and Single-SPA to support core product features

• Build and Integrate AI-powered Systems: Use large language models (LLMs), including agentic orchestration and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions to leverage proprietary data

• Develop, Refine, and Optimize Prompts: Improve model accuracy, consistency, and overall output quality, providing guidance and best practices to product and engineering teams

• Bridge the Technical Gap: Support and extend existing PHP/Laravel services; while you don't need to be a Laravel expert on day one, you will get the opportunity to modify, debug, and build features within legacy applications and services

• Leverage Cloud Services: Utilize cloud platforms, particularly AWS AI services, to build, deploy, and manage AI-powered features

• Drive UI/UX Excellence: Drive the adoption of our PrimeVue design system to ensure a cohesive, high-performance UI/UX across all services

• Quality & Security Focus: Participate in code reviews and help uphold Definition of Done standards to ensure secure, reliable, and high-quality software with good performance

• Collaborate on Design: Partner with Architecture, Product Owners, and Designers to turn complex nonprofit challenges into elegant technical specifications and high-quality design documents

• Leverage AI Tools: Utilize AI tools to plan better, develop faster, and share expertise in design patterns with the wider engineering team

Key Qualifications

• Professional Experience: Approximately 3+ years of hands-on experience in a full stack software engineering position with exposure to machine learning, agentic AI, or building and deploying AI systems

• Core Technical Proficiency: Proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript, with a solid understanding of both front and backend technologies

• Cloud & Serverless Competency: Understanding of AWS and serverless technologies, with the ability to create software solutions for individual features

• Database Knowledge: Understanding of both Relational and NoSQL databases

• Legacy System Adaptability: A willingness to dive into PHP/Laravel applications to ensure a seamless transition as we scale

• Collaborative Spirit: A proven team player who enjoys working with internal cross-functional departments and acts as a technical consultant for integrations

• Educational Background: A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, related fields, or equivalent experience

Nice to Haves

• Experience building AI Agents and associated technologies like MCP, RAG, and Agentic Patterns

• Strong experience developing client-facing user interfaces

• Prior experience working with or a passion for the non-profit sector
