Full Job Description
What you'll do:
  • Drive end-to-end design and implementation of product requirements including task break-down, delivery, testing, monitoring, and maintenance.
  • Consistently generate simple and elegant designs, and write high-quality code that can be easily understood and leveraged by others.
  • Collaborate closely with product, design, and the rest of engineering to turn feature/product specs into reality.
  • Influence the features and direction of the platform with your own ideas and proactively identify opportunities to improve business processes.
  • Run the full software development lifecycle - problem definition, design, development, testing, demoing and supporting production use of the features you own.
  • Balance immediate business objectives against long-term architectural vision.

What we look for:

Must have:
  • 2+ years industry experience as a Software Engineer
  • Fluency in an AI-forward SDLC - using LLMs/agents to move fast without sacrificing production-grade quality
  • Experience with one or more of:
    • Go (or comparable strongly-typed backend language)
    • Distributed systems / infra & scaling
    • LLM harnesses / agentic systems
    • Concurrent or async processing
  • Strong fundamentals in software design principles (SOLID or equivalent) and knowing when to apply them
  • High degree of autonomy - comfortable taking an ambiguous problem to a well-reasoned design and shipped solution with minimal hand-holding
  • Testing, monitoring, and reliability aren't a separate step - they're built into how you write code
  • Comfortable owning a feature end-to-end, front-to-back, when the problem calls for it

Culture:
  • Passionate about Attention's mission; the ability to empathize with our users and how they'll use our product.
  • Prior experience building, launching and maintaining products in a fast-paced environment and at scale.
  • Enjoying working cross-functionally and collaboratively with both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Grit and adaptability; ability to thrive working with an early-stage team and navigating the unknown.

Our Tech Stack:
  • Backend: Go, Postgres, Kubernetes, AWS, Kafka, Redis, Temporal workflows
  • Frontend: React, Tailwind, Next.js and GraphQL.

Benefits Include:
  • Competitive salary + equity.
  • Your choice of new equipment and software.
  • Health, dental and vision insurance.
  • Autonomy at work.
