Full Job Description
Senior Software Engineer

Location: New York, NY (Hybrid) | Type: Full-Time | Reports to: Head of Revenue

The Role

We're looking for a senior full-stack engineer to build product across the Nomic platform. You'll work on the interfaces, APIs, and backend systems that enterprise customers and developers use daily - from our web application to our Developer API.

Most of your day-to-day coding will involve directing and managing AI coding agents. We're not interested in people who are curious about this - we need someone already doing it, with the architectural judgment to use it effectively. That means knowing how to decompose work for agents, reviewing output with a critical eye, maintaining codebase coherence when code is being generated at speed, and never letting velocity become an excuse for slop. The bar is engineering excellence: clean architecture, thoughtful abstractions, code that other people can work in.

What You'll Work On
  • Product features end-to-end - UI through API through data layer
  • Backend services in Python and TypeScript
  • Frontend in React/TypeScript
  • APIs that serve both our product and external developers
  • Integration points with our AI and agent systems


What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong full-stack skills - you're comfortable owning frontend and backend
  • Production experience with Python and TypeScript
  • Active, intentional use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) - not as a novelty but as your primary workflow
  • Good instincts for API design, data modeling, and system architecture
  • You write code that's clear, tested, and easy to change - whether you typed it or an agent did
  • You care about the end-user experience, not just the implementation


Even better if you have:
  • Experience building developer-facing products or APIs
  • Familiarity with AI/ML systems - embeddings, retrieval, model integration
  • Background in enterprise software or B2B products


What We Offer
  • Competitive base salary and performance-based compensation
  • Equity participation
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Flexible PTO
  • Hybrid NYC work model (3 days in office)
  • High-visibility role on a small team
