Job Description

About the Role

We’re hiring a Full Stack Engineer to build and scale end-to-end web applications across our platform. This role sits at the intersection of product, infrastructure, and applied AI, working closely with a small, fast-moving team to ship features that directly impact customers.

You’ll own development across the stack: from frontend interfaces to backend APIs, data models, and external integrations. The environment is highly iterative, with a strong bias toward shipping, learning, and refining quickly. If you enjoy operating with autonomy, working on ambiguous problems, and building systems from first principles, this role is a strong fit.


What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain full-stack features across frontend (React) and backend (TypeScript APIs)
  • Design and implement scalable data models using NoSQL databases
  • Integrate third-party services (e.g., APIs, auth, payments, document systems)
  • Work with AI coding tools and agent-driven workflows to accelerate development
  • Own features end-to-end, from initial concept through deployment and iteration
  • Collaborate closely with product and design to translate requirements into shipped functionality
  • Improve system performance, reliability, and developer experience over time
  • Contribute to architectural decisions as the platform evolves

Qualifications

  • 2–5 years of experience building production-grade web applications (excluding internships)
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and modern React frameworks
  • Experience designing and working with APIs and distributed systems
  • Familiarity with NoSQL databases and flexible data modeling patterns
  • Comfort using AI-assisted development tools (e.g., code generation, copilots, agents)
  • Experience in a startup or high-velocity environment preferred
  • Ability to operate independently and take ownership of ambiguous problems
  • Strong product intuition and focus on delivering user value
