Full-Stack Engineer

Who you are

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong frontend skills with React and TypeScript, including complex application state and data-dense interfaces
• Solid backend engineering ability. We use Go, PHP, and Python, and we expect strong engineers to pick up a new language
• Working knowledge of relational and non-relational data stores (Postgres, DynamoDB, or similar)
• Real product judgment: you can look at a workflow, decide what to build, and say what to cut
• Interest in the problems that come with non-deterministic systems — uncertainty, partial failure, and designing for human correction rather than assuming a correct answer every time
• Proven ability to navigate ambiguity, close your own knowledge gaps, and deliver in an evolving environment

What the job involves

• This engineer owns the product surface that turns agent capability into something teams will actually rely on for business-critical work — and the services behind it
• Design and build the interfaces business teams use to configure agents, review their work, approve or correct actions, and understand what happened and why
• Build observability and evaluation tooling that makes agent behavior legible — where it succeeded, where it failed, and whether a change made things better
• Work across the stack, from React and TypeScript through service code and data models, owning features end to end through build, test, launch, and iteration
• Partner directly with the business teams who use what you build; translate ambiguous operational problems into working software
• Own the full lifecycle of your work, including monitoring and post-launch improvement
