$160k - $250k
Full-time

True Talent Solutions Partners

About the Role

Join an early-stage AI operations software company as its first in-person engineering hire in New York City. You will own the core systems that connect AI-powered workflows with business platforms and keep critical wholesale operations running reliably.

What You'll Do

  • Take customer-facing features from discovery through design, implementation, and production.

  • Design secure, auditable data models and event-driven pipelines for AI-powered workflows.

  • Develop internal and external APIs and a real-time operator console for operational visibility.

  • Build integrations with ERP, logistics, retail, and freight platforms, along with a resilient synchronization layer.

  • Establish observability, service-level objectives, and on-call practices for mission-critical workflows.

  • Work across backend, data engineering, and frontend systems to address high-impact problems.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to six years of software engineering experience, including hands-on product development at a startup or small team.

  • A strong full-stack foundation and experience building robust, reliable production systems.

  • Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, Tailwind, Postgres, queues or streams, and AWS or GCP.

  • Ability to lead work end to end, with strong systems thinking and product intuition.

  • Strong technical fundamentals and experience in a high-growth environment; early-career candidates with especially strong technical signals are also encouraged to apply.

  • Interest in AI-enabled business operations and integrations is useful.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary is $160,000 to $250,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is available.

Location

On-site five days a week in New York City, New York, United States. Candidates must be willing to work on-site or relocate.
