Full Stack Engineer

At UniSystems, we are working towards turning digital visions into reality. We are continuously growing and we are looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join our UniQue team in Brussels!

What will you be doing in this role:

• Support programmes of work in the area of software development for digital innovation and technology applications.
• Develop advanced application capabilities for analysts, enabling the exploration, analysis, and synthesis of strategic foresight data through complex, multi-step user workflows, including cross-article reasoning, topic engineering, source intelligence, and relevance assessment.
• Develop full-stack integrations with AI-enabled backend services, exposing AI-driven analytical functions, retrieval mechanisms, and automated synthesis capabilities in a controlled and user-transparent manner.
• Apply sound software design principles to ensure transparent, auditable, and controllable analytical workflows, including clear traceability between inputs, sources, AI-assisted reasoning steps, and generated outputs, suitable for high-trust analytical and policy environments.
• Deliver deployment-ready solutions compatible with restricted and secure environments, including systems operating under governance, security, and operational constraints beyond standard commercial environments.

Requirements:
What do you need to succeed in this position?

• A BSc degree in a relevant field (or 3 years of Higher education).
• At least 8 years of experience, covering frontend and backend development, system architecture, integration, implementation and end-to-end ownership from design through deployment.
• Extensive knowledge in frontend (Vue.js, React, Astro) and backend frameworks (Python, FastAPI), including Frontend application architecture and state management, backend API design, schema validation, and service orchestration.
• Proven experience integrating frontend applications with backend APIs and data services, including high-volume data ingestion and querying, search, retrieval, and analytics oriented backends, performance-aware UI–backend interaction patterns.
• Practical experience integrating AI and LLM-based services, including LLM-powered analysis, synthesis, and content generation, retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) or hybrid retrieval approaches and deterministic, traceable, and auditable AI outputs suitable for policy and analytical use.
• Experience with designing and implementing analyst-facing workflows, with emphasis on transparency of analytical results, traceability of sources, reasoning, and outputs, user control over inputs, filters, and relevance criteria.
• Experience working in analytical decision-support contexts or strategic foresight, including Topic engineering and thematic analysis, source intelligence and relevance assessment, multi-source analytical synthesis.
• Ability to work independently at senior level, including structuring complex systems from high-level requirements, translating abstract objectives into concrete technical deliverables and delivery constraints.
• Experience with analytical platforms, such as strategic foresight analysis, emerging and disruptive technologies assessment, or decision-support tooling.
• Experience deploying solutions in restricted, controlled, or secure environments, including separation of environments, controlled AI service integration, deployment constraints beyond standard commercial cloud setups.
• Excellent command of spoken and written English (C1).
