Job description

Senior Engineer. Builder Mindset. AI-first delivery. Full ownership

We are looking for a builder.

This is a high-ownership backend role on a lean team for someone who wants to take responsibility, move fast, make strong technical calls, and turn ambiguous product needs into production-ready systems. The default mode of execution here is AI-first. Engineers use a squad of agents to research codebases, plan changes, generate code, create tests, run tests, and harden the code. 

Your role is to use AI to deliver high-quality systems at AI velocity while retaining full ownership of architecture, correctness, security, performance, and production reliability.

The work

  • Design and own backend services in NestJS, and TypeScript, from schema to production

  • Architect for scale, not just for the feature in front of you

  • Build and maintain GraphQL APIs across a microservices environment

  • Own database design, optimization, and reliability in Postgres

  • Set and enforce quality standards across agent-generated and manually written code alike

  • Shape requirements with product before they become tickets

  • Contribute to technical decisions across architecture, infrastructure, testing, and developer productivity

  • Do all of the above with an AI-first approach 

This is a fast-paced environment with real production stakes. You will be expected to build fast and keep raising the bar. If you thrive when the pressure is on and the standards are high, you will feel right at home.

Details

  • Fully remote

  • Paid in USD

  • EST or PST aligned hours
