Full Stack Software Engineer, Applied AI

Build tools and workflow infrastructure that let operations, sales, and customer success teams operate the platform themselves, without filing engineering tickets

Translate what internal teams need into automated, reliable systems

Help non-engineers understand what is possible and then make it happen

Build features across the frontend and backend: React/TypeScript on the front, Node.js or Elixir on the back, Postgres underneath

Own the full lifecycle from requirements to production

Debug issues across the entire stack

Actively observe the production environment: usage patterns, agent failures, edge cases, provider behavior

This role requires a high degree of personal accountability for system health. When things are running well, that is because you have built the monitoring and alerting to catch problems early. Getting there takes commitment.

5+ years of experience as a full stack engineer

Hands-on experience with AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor, or similar) in a real development workflow

Strong product instincts: you can take ambiguous user signals and turn them into concrete technical requirements without heavy PM support

Proficiency with React/TypeScript and at least one backend language (Node.js, Elixir, Ruby on Rails, or similar)

Experience with Postgres or similar relational databases

High ownership mentality: you do not wait to be told something is broken

Clear, direct communication skills, written and verbal

Experience building or operating agentic workflows in production

Experience designing feedback loops that improve AI output quality over time

Background at a startup or high-growth company

Experience with CI/CD, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure

Experience with REST or GraphQL API design

This is not a 9-to-5 role. At this stage, getting AI agents to ship reliable production code requires close observation of what is actually happening in the codebase. When the system is working well, that monitoring is lightweight and mostly automated. Getting it to that point requires genuine commitment: watching the system, catching failures before they compound, and iterating fast.

We are also not looking for engineers who want to write code in isolation. If enabling non-technical teammates and removing yourself from repetitive engineering work does not sound appealing, this probably is not the right fit.

Base salary: $140,000+, depending on experience, skills, and location. This role is also eligible for equity and other forms of compensation.
