Senior Full Stack Engineer (Back-End)

This is a role that TechTree is recruiting for on behalf of one of our clients. TechTree is an AI-driven recruitment platform working with high-growth companies.

When you apply, our AI Agent matches you not just to this role , but to other relevant opportunities across our network, so one application can unlock multiple roles. Senior Full Stack Engineer (Back-End) — Own the backend of an AI agent runtime. San Francisco, on-site. We're a small, fast-moving team (~20 people) building a hybrid of AI and software standing on one shared brain — real software that acts on your context instead of waiting for you to paste it in. We're backed by top-tier VCs with a $30M seed, and we work from an office in San Francisco's Presidio.

You'll write and ship full-stack features end to end — from the agent runtime and backend APIs to the web and desktop UI — while making the calls that decide whether the system holds at 1000x today's load.

What You'll Do → Build and operate the sandbox infrastructure where agents execute code — process isolation, resource limits, secure credential handling at scale

→ Design the deployment/migration pipeline for a Cloudflare Workers + Fly.io architecture, including blue-green rollouts

→ Instrument real-time workloads: SSE streaming, task queues, multi-model LLM provider routing

→ Ship new backend capabilities — tool integrations, scheduled tasks, memory indexing — and see them used within the week

What We're Looking For → 5+ years building and operating backend systems in production; you've been on-call

→ Fluent in TypeScript, comfortable across the stack, but your instinct runs backend-deep

→ You've built real-time systems (WebSockets, SSE, event streaming, or message queues) in production

→ Distributed systems intuition — you have opinions on consistency tradeoffs

Base salary $180K–$240K + meaningful early-stage equity, plus health, dental, 401(k), and considerable PTO.
