About the Role
We're looking for an ambitious early-career Software Engineer who wants to build real products and grow quickly in a startup environment.
You'll work across the product and engineering stack, ship features directly to users, and take meaningful ownership much earlier than you might at a larger company.
We care less about years of experience and more about technical ability, curiosity, speed of learning, and evidence that you love building things.
What You'll Do
Build and ship production features end-to-end.
Work across backend, APIs, databases, and user-facing applications.
Turn loosely defined problems into working software.
Prototype quickly, gather feedback, and iterate.
Debug and improve existing systems as the product scales.
Use modern AI development tools to increase engineering velocity.
Work directly with experienced engineers, founders, and product stakeholders.
Take increasing ownership of features and technical decisions.
What We're Looking For
Strong software engineering fundamentals.
Proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Java, or C++.
Experience building real software through internships, professional work, side projects, research, open source, or your own startup.
Understanding of APIs, databases, data structures, and application architecture.
Comfortable using AI coding tools as part of your development workflow.
Strong problem-solving ability and willingness to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly.
High ownership, resourcefulness, and comfort with ambiguity.
Strong communication and ability to work collaboratively.
Strong Plus
Previous startup or high-growth company experience.
Impressive side projects or independently launched products.
Full-stack development experience.
Cloud or infrastructure experience.
AI/LLM product experience.
Open-source contributions, hackathons, technical competitions, or research.
Founder or entrepreneurial experience.
