The Role

We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join our team. You'll work across the stack, own projects end-to-end, and make foundational technical decisions that will shape our product and culture for years to come.

Some of your work will involve AI/LLM-based systems, but just as much will involve building the surrounding product and infrastructure that makes those systems valuable to our customers. If you enjoy tackling different kinds of problems, moving quickly, and taking ownership, this role is for you.

What You'll Do

• Build features across the stack based on your strengths and the business's highest priorities: backend services, frontend interfaces, integrations, agents and infrastructure.
• Design and implement AI/LLM-driven workflows as part of our automation platform.
• Translate ambiguous requirements into clear, functioning software.
• Balance speed with technical rigor, knowing when to optimize for learning and when to invest in durability.
• Help define and evolve our engineering practices and technical culture.
• Collaborate closely with the founding team and customers to shape product direction.

Is this you?

• 3+ years of software engineering experience, ideally with exposure to fast-moving or startup environments.
• Strong technical depth: you can design systems, not just implement them.
• A generalist mindset, with the ability and confidence to work across multiple parts of the stack.
• Pragmatism: you can ship quickly without sacrificing critical quality.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate technical tradeoffs clearly.
• Comfort with ambiguity, and a bias toward ownership and action.

Bonus

• Experience working with LLMs or building AI-driven applications.
• Background in fintech, insurance, or workflow-heavy enterprise products.
• Prior experience as an early-stage engineer or founder
• Contributions to open-source or research projects.
