Founding Full Stack Engineer
About the Role
This is a founding engineering role at a consumer health and wellness company sitting at the intersection of AI and ecommerce. You will own the entire engineering function, from a near-term membership platform MVP to a React Native consumer app and LLM-powered automation tooling, working directly with company leadership to move fast and build right.
What You'll Do
Build and launch a consumer membership web application on Shopify and Recharge, then own ongoing maintenance and improvements after launch.
Monitor and optimize page speed, app performance, and third-party script and pixel behavior across the storefront.
Keep tracking and consent tools properly configured and compliant with privacy regulations such as CPRA.
Own engineering architecture, stack choices, security decisions, vendor and contractor selection, and the databases underpinning the membership platform.
Lead development of a consumer-facing React Native app from the ground up, with iOS as the first priority.
Build LLM-powered agents and internal tools that run unattended in production, with evaluation frameworks, monitoring, and human-in-the-loop safeguards.
Leverage AI, automation, and low-code tools to reduce manual operational work and improve execution speed across all functions.
Tackle high-priority, ad-hoc problems directly with the CEO, moving fluidly between product and infrastructure decisions.
What We're Looking For
3 or more years of full-stack engineering experience shipping consumer products to production, with 5 to 10 or more years of overall software engineering experience preferred.
Strong proficiency in TypeScript and React, with shipped production applications to demonstrate it.
Proficiency in Python or Node.js with a track record of writing fast, reliable code.
Hands-on experience with the Shopify platform and Recharge integration.
Experience building and shipping consumer-facing React Native applications, ideally iOS-first.
Demonstrated expertise in web performance optimization, including page speed, bundle size, and third-party script management.
Experience implementing privacy compliance tooling such as consent management and CPRA or GDPR data handling.
Comfort making architectural and security decisions independently with minimal guidance.
Familiarity with AI-powered development tools, LLM agent frameworks, and automation workflows is a strong plus.
A degree in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or equivalent demonstrated experience shipping software products.
