Full-Stack Software EngineerBuild foundational infrastructure for next-generation AI-native workflows in biopharmaWhat you'll be doing Build backend foundations - Architect our core data systems - Design versioned, auditable, high-throughput infrastructure to power Equator's knowledge graph.
- Think deeply about scale, correctness, and complexity - Tackle real trade-offs around read/write balance, lineage, branching, and consistency.
- Model intelligent collaboration - Build APIs and workflows that enable humans and AI agents to coordinate through structured + unstructured data.
Craft modern, flexible frontends - Design intelligent UIs - Build clear, composable interfaces for users to navigate, edit, and understand complex workflows.
- Invent new UX patterns for LLM-era software - Go beyond forms and dashboards; blend structured UI with natural language interaction.
- Own our design system - Extend our Tailwind + Radix UI + shadcn/ui setup with ergonomic, accessible components grounded in our product's semantics.
- Work directly with users - Partner with designers and early customers to refine UX and ship features that matter.
What you need to succeed - You're a first-principles thinker who deeply understands systems, from data modeling to UI ergonomics.
- You have hands-on experience designing data-intensive systems, ideally with PostgreSQL (bonus for versioning, RLS, concurrency control).
- You're proficient in both frontend (React, Next.js, TypeScript) and backend (Node.js, SQL, RPC) development.
- You bring a strong bias toward shipping, even in ambiguity. You know how to build robust systems iteratively.
- You're pragmatic, adaptable, and unafraid to change course based on user feedback or better ideas.
- You're a clear communicator - whether explaining a database migration or discussing product tradeoffs with non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience with our stack is a plus: Next.js, Supabase, Inngest, Modal, shadcn/ui, Tailwind, Radix UI, Zod.
