Lead Full-Stack Engineer (AI, Automation & Product Development)
Accepting Applications
Zino Group is entering an ambitious phase of expansion across aviation, artificial intelligence, technology, consulting, media, education, and future ventures.
As we continue to build and scale multiple companies, we are seeking a highly capable, innovative, entrepreneurial, and execution-focused Lead Full-Stack Engineer (AI, Automation & Product Development) to help build the technology backbone of the Group.
We are specifically seeking a highly capable Full-Stack Software Engineer with strong AI and automation expertise.
This role is designed for someone who can independently design, build, deploy, and maintain complete technology solutions from concept to production. The successful candidate should be comfortable working across frontend development, backend development, databases, APIs, cloud infrastructure, automation systems, AI solutions, and modern software architecture.
Rather than hiring multiple specialists, we are seeking a versatile technology builder who can take ownership of projects end-to-end and transform ideas into working products.
The ideal candidate should be equally comfortable building customer-facing applications, internal business systems, websites, learning platforms, AI-powered tools, dashboards, automation workflows, and intelligent agents.
A significant portion of this role will involve leveraging modern AI-assisted development tools and workflows to accelerate product development and innovation. We are therefore looking for someone who actively uses technologies such as ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, OpenAI APIs, Anthropic APIs, AI coding assistants, agent frameworks, and other modern development tools to build faster, smarter, and more efficiently.
This is ultimately a role for a builder — someone who enjoys solving problems, creating products, experimenting with technology, and turning ambitious ideas into reality.
Initially, this role will support technology and product development across:
-
Zino Aviation
-
KUUZA AI
-
Songscribe AI
-
Zino Ventures
-
Zino Mario Personal Brand
The successful candidate will work directly with leadership and play a central role in transforming ideas into real-world products, systems, automations, and technology solutions that support the continued growth of the Group.
Role Scope
The Lead Full-Stack Engineer will operate across the entire Zino Group ecosystem and will be responsible for software development, product development, AI implementation, automation, systems architecture, technical innovation, and digital transformation initiatives. This role will work closely with leadership, operations teams, marketing teams, consultants, external vendors, and future technical personnel to identify opportunities, solve business challenges, and create technology solutions that drive efficiency, scalability, and growth. The successful candidate will be responsible for building products, creating systems, implementing AI solutions, reducing reliance on third-party software, and helping establish the technological foundation for future growth.
