ABOUT THE ROLE This is a full-stack product engineering role at an early-stage AI startup in the recruiting and talent space. You'll work closely with a small founding team — spanning product and design — to own features end-to-end, integrate AI/LLM capabilities into core product flows, and help shape the technical foundation as the company scales. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own product features from scoping through deployment, including API design, data modeling, and frontend and backend implementation. - Ship user-facing experiences that balance usability and performance, iterating based on feedback and metrics. - Integrate LLMs and AI services into production product flows in a reliable, user-focused way. - Design and implement scalable backend services, data schemas, and operational tooling including CI/CD, monitoring, and automated testing. - Collaborate directly with founders, product, and design to prioritize work and define success metrics. - Participate in architecture and roadmap discussions, making pragmatic tradeoffs suited to early-stage growth. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 2–8 years of software engineering experience with a track record of shipping user-facing products. - Strong full-stack skills: TypeScript and React/Next.js on the frontend; Python or Node.js on the backend. - Experience with PostgreSQL and cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP. - Hands-on production experience integrating LLMs or AI services (engineering focus, not research). - Solid product sense — ability to translate user problems into practical, measurable solutions. - Comfortable operating in small teams with limited process, high ambiguity, and shifting priorities across frontend, backend, and DevOps. - Experience implementing monitoring, observability, and automated testing as part of CI/CD pipelines (metrics, tracing, logging, health checks). - Familiarity with multi-tenant or enterprise-ready systems, real-time architectures, and high-throughput application design. - Experience in or familiarity with regulated industries (healthcare, fintech, legal) or complex internal tooling is a plus. - Comfort with AI-assisted development workflows (e.g., Cursor or similar) is a bonus. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $150,000 – $300,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION On-site in San Francisco, California, United States.
