Full Stack Software Engineer

We’re a fast-growing AI startup focused on fintech and compliance. We received from $1M to $2M ARR in under two months after their Series A. A small, elite engineering team of four with diverse backgrounds. The team is flat, moves quickly, and is known for shipping high-quality product. Engineers talk directly to customers, drive the roadmap, and are expected to operate at a near-founder level.

About the Role

We’re hiring Full Stack Engineers to expand both product lines:

Vendor Risk Management (frontend-leaning): Own and build the frontend experience for the company’s vendor risk product, working across React and Next.js to create a best-in-class interface for compliance teams managing third-party risk

Marketing Compliance (backend-leaning): Own the backend infrastructure for the company’s marketing compliance product, building the APIs, data pipelines, and systems that power automated compliance review at scale in Python and FastAPI

Marketing Compliance (ML Engineer): Own the ML layer for the marketing compliance product, building the models, eval frameworks, and AI pipelines that make the product intelligent

You will work directly with customers on a weekly basis, drive roadmap items based on your own interactions and product vision, and have a real path to leading expansion into new product areas as the company scales in H2.
