The role and why it matters
You will join a small, product-led engineering team and own meaningful parts of the platform across the front end and back end. This is a high-agency role for an engineer who wants broad responsibility, works quickly with real customer feedback, and uses AI fluently to increase the speed and quality of delivery.
What you'll do
• Build across the stack and own features from technical design through production launch.
• Treat the front end as a product surface by understanding user behavior and improving the experience, not only implementing designs.
• Design and extend backend systems, APIs, data flows, and integrations that power an AI-native commerce platform.
• Use AI tools as a core part of the development workflow to automate work and accelerate iteration.
• Ship quickly, learn from real users, and improve the product based on direct feedback.
• Work closely with the founders and engineering teammates to make product and technical decisions.
• Take initiative on ambiguous problems without waiting for constant direction.
Requirements
What we're looking for
• 2 or more years of professional experience as a full-stack software engineer.
• Strong ability across both backend and frontend development, with examples of features owned end to end.
• Experience at a high-caliber engineering organization, preferably a venture-backed startup or another product-led, high-growth company.
• Practical fluency with AI development tools and a track record of using them to scale or automate work.
• High agency, strong product sense, and a bias toward action.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach to feedback and decision-making.
• A strong technical education, founder experience, or another record of exceptional technical achievement.
Bonus points
• Experience as a startup founder or early engineer.
• Personal projects or products that demonstrate curiosity and ownership.
• Experience with modern commerce, marketplace, or creator-economy products.
• Experience building AI-native product experiences.
Benefits
Compensation and benefits
• $200K-$250K base salary.
• Competitive equity.
• Company-paid relocation support, including travel to San Francisco.
• A paid one-day virtual work trial during the interview process.
Location and work model
• Full-time and on-site in San Francisco.
• Nontraditional startup hours; this is not a 9-to-5 position.
• Candidates must already be in the San Francisco Bay Area or be willing to relocate.
• Eligible visa transfers, including OPT and H-1B transfers, may be supported.
