  • Rapidly prototype, test, and iterate on tools in response to real-time feedback
  • Contribute to architectural discussions and help establish best practices for reliability, scalability, and security in high-impact deployments
  • Document solutions and help create technical playbooks for repeatable, scalable deployment processes

Requirements:

  • 0–2 years of professional software engineering experience (internships, co-ops, or project-based work count)
  • Familiarity with ReactJS and TypeScript, with an eye for detail, usability, and accessibility
  • Foundational understanding of relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL) and data modeling concepts
  • Some exposure to cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP) and deployment pipelines
  • Passion for clean, maintainable code and building reliable, performant systems
  • Strong communication skills and a willingness to collaborate across technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with a hunger to learn and grow

Nice to have:

  • Coursework, projects, or internship experience involving LLMs or other AI-powered products
  • Familiarity with component libraries, design systems, or building reusable interfaces
  • Interest in or exposure to performance optimization and scaling of frontend or full-stack applications
What we offer:
  • Equity in a fast-growing company
  • 401(k) match, competitive compensation, financial coaching
  • Paid parental leave, fertility benefits, parental coaching
  • Medical, dental, and vision, mental health support, $500 wellness stipend
