Founding Fullstack Engineer (3–8 Years Experience)

Location: New York, NY (In‑Person)

Compensation: Top of Market + Equity + Benefits

About Everstar

Everstar is a nuclear AI company accelerating regulatory and compliance processes through tactical AI applications. Our flagship platform, Gordian , equips nuclear licensing teams with precision‑engineered AI tools for search, research, and compliance document drafting. Built by a world‑class team of domain experts and engineers — including a former senior NRC executive and talent from SpaceX and Silicon Valley startups — we move with wartime urgency to solve one of humanity’s hardest problems: powering the planet safely and at scale.

You’ll be joining a team that:

• Cares about climate and recognizes it as the most ambitious problem of our lifetime.

• Wakes up every day on fire about solving energy for the betterment of our future.

• Believes in building shit that matters, not just apps for clicks or ad dollars.

The Role

We’re looking for a Founding Fullstack Engineer with the skill and leadership to shape Gordian’s user experience and technical foundations. You’ll obsess over clean code and practical solutions, but also step up as a leader who owns problems end‑to‑end. This is a chance to leave a real mark: the products you build will directly support the operators keeping 20% of the U.S. electricity grid safe and reliable.

Who You’re Building For: Know Your Customer

Our customers are the critical operators in the nuclear industry. They’re overworked, under‑resourced, and carrying the weight of the grid on their backs. The tools you build will help them:

• Onboard and train better

• Execute safety‑critical workflows more efficiently

• Keep vital infrastructure safe and reliable

  This is meaningful work in the truest sense — you’re giving frontline professionals the tools they need to secure the energy backbone of our society.

What’s at Stake

• If We Succeed: Operators get world‑class tools, nuclear scales to meet exploding energy demand, and we power the AI era with clean energy.

• If We Fail: Nuclear remains stuck in red tape, operators stay overworked without modern tools, and humanity misses a once‑in‑a‑generation chance to solve climate.

You’ll Do

• Architect and build user‑facing features across frontend + backend

• Translate complex regulatory workflows into sleek, intuitive UI/UX

• Lead by example: set standards for code quality, product ownership, and design taste

• Collaborate with AI engineers and nuclear SMEs to ship impactful features

• Balance speed and rigor — knowing when to optimize and when to ship

You Bring

• 3–8 years fullstack experience; strong TypeScript/React + backend fundamentals

• Product sense: you care about usability, business outcomes, and design

• Demonstrated leadership and ownership in past roles or projects

• Bias towards action and problem‑solving without waiting for permission

• Bonus: experience with physics models, technical SaaS, or regulated industries

Why Everstar

• Top of market salary + equity

• Full benefits, wellness stipend, and education support

• Work IRL in New York with a mission‑driven founding team

• Build products that keep the grid safe and accelerate the clean energy future
