Key skills for this role
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the founding team and own the technical backbone of Scope. You'll work directly with the founders to design, build, and deploy features end-to-end, spanning TypeScript/Node, React/Next.js, Python/FastAPI, and the LLM and agent frameworks that power the Scope Context Layer.
This is a senior IC role for someone who can move from rough idea to production system without hand-holding, and who has the technical judgment to make architecture decisions that hold up as the company scales. You'll be one of the first engineering hires, so you'll have real influence over architecture, systems, and product direction while building the technical backbone of a new generation of AI-driven tools.
Scope is an applied AI company. We build custom AI systems and agents that run real workflows inside enterprises, things like customer onboarding, contract drafting, campaign launches, and the operational work that today eats hours of human time.
AI has flipped the economics of enterprise software. It's now faster and cheaper to build a custom system per client than to force that client to bend their processes around off-the-shelf tools. The results: customer onboarding compressed from days to hours, contract drafting reduced by 90%, campaign launches that used to take days now ship in under an hour.
Scope is backed by Pear VC, one of Silicon Valley's most respected pre-seed funds and an early investor in DoorDash, Gusto, Dropbox, and Vanta.
