These are the key ways you'll contribute and create impact in this role:- Help lead the design and development of scalable full stack systems using React (frontend) and Ruby on Rails (backend)
- Own complex features end-to-end-from ideation to production-focused on Hiring Assistant workflows
- Architect and evolve systems that support AI-driven hiring experiences (screening, matching, automation)
- Integrate and apply AI/LLM tools, agents, and automation frameworks to improve product capability and team velocity
- Partner closely with Product, Design, and Data to deliver fast, high-quality outcomes
- Drive technical decision-making, including system design, performance, and scalability
- Improve engineering velocity through tooling, experimentation, and AI-assisted development workflows
- Mentor other engineers and raise the bar on code quality, testing, and execution
The Foundation for Success - These are the experiences and strengths that will set you up for success in this role:
- 4+ years of full stack engineering experience (Ruby on Rails + React strongly preferred)
- Proven ability to design and deliver complex systems end-to-end
- Strong experience with APIs, distributed systems, and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL)
- Demonstrated ability to retool workflows using AI and measure impact (Mid/Senior IC expectation)
- Hands-on experience or strong curiosity with LLMs, AI agents, or automation tooling
- Strong product mindset-you build for real users, not just technical elegance
- Ability to operate with high velocity and ownership in ambiguous environments
- Actively use AI tools to improve development speed and quality
- Identify and implement opportunities for AI-driven product improvements
- Measure and communicate the impact of AI-enabled changes
- Continuously evolve workflows to leverage new AI capabilities
