Senior Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer | AI Startup | NYC

Primis is partnered with a well-funded, early-stage AI startup in NYC building intelligent fraud detection software.

ARR is growing fast, they have enterprise logos, and they're backed by strong institutional investors. Small team, real ownership, meaningful equity.

They're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own meaningful parts of the platform end-to-end.

What you'll work on:

• Own features from design through deployment - pipelines, workflows, internal tooling, and core platform capabilities
• Build systems where correctness and reliability aren't optional
• Work directly with product and operations to turn real business needs into scalable software
• Mentor junior engineers and help raise the bar across the team through code reviews, on-call, and incident response

What we're looking for:

• 5+ years building large-scale distributed systems in production
• Experience with high-reliability, high-accuracy, or high-security systems - you understand what it means when things can't be wrong
• Track record designing and launching backend architectures that serve multiple users and tenants at scale
• Able to move between rapid prototyping and production-grade development without losing either speed or quality
• Writes clearly, communicates well, and can hold a conversation with both engineers and non-engineers
• Self-starter who's energized by unsolved problems, not intimidated by them
• Strong collaborator - direct, open to feedback, and comfortable giving it
• Tech-stack: Python, JavaScript/Typescript
