About this role
TL;DR:
We're looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer to lead and own large parts of the product, from ideation to implementation
AI-native work style is a requirement, not a nice-to-have. You reach for AI tools before writing boilerplate, debugging manually, or scoping cold
Balanced frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend (Python)
SF & NY offices are hybrid / 3 days in office!
How We Work:
AI is a core part of how our engineering team operates - not a productivity hack, but a fundamental shift in how we scope, build, and ship. We use AI coding assistants in production workflows, LLMs for planning and spec-writing, and agentic tools to reduce manual toil. We expect every engineer on our team to work this way and to raise the bar over time.
If you're still getting started with AI tooling, this probably isn't the right fit yet. If you have opinions on where it breaks down and you've already changed how you work because of it, we want to talk.
About You:
AI tools are your default starting point - you can speak concretely about how they've changed your output or pace in the last 6 months
You've used AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, etc.) in real production delivery and have opinions on where they help and where they don't
You're comfortable using LLMs beyond code generation - for planning, spec-writing, debugging, and code review
You are proficient in TypeScript to power our frontend React app. Familiarity with Firebase is a plus
You are strong with Python to power our backend. Familiarity with Flask is a plus
You possess a customer-centric mindset and have strong empathy for creators
You have familiarity with SQL and Postgres
You enjoy and have experience working at small, fast-paced startups
You thrive in ambiguity and enjoy scoping solutions with your teammates
You play for the front of the jersey, love to learn, and bias toward action!
What You'd Be Working On:
Building and iterating on AI-powered creator tools: you'll work alongside AI PMs and ML engineers and be expected to have a point of view on what AI can and can't do in product
Building products that get millions of page views a day and scaling to billions
Leading frontend development with delightful UI/UX
Creating systems and seeing how all the moving pieces interact
What We Can Offer (FT):
Competitive salary and equity grant. We have a standard four year vesting schedule with one year cliff
We give 4 weeks off total and we want you to use them! This is on top of federal holidays ๐บ๐ธ๐
Platinum level medical, vision, and dental insurance with 99% employer-paid premiums for employees and coverage for eligible dependents
401(k) retirement savings and investing plan
$100 monthly gym stipend
Computer, monitor, and home office setup reimbursement. We will get you what you need to do your best work!
The cash compensation range is $180-230k for this role dependent on skills and experience
