Senior Full-Stack Engineer (NY)

We’re looking for a thoughtful Senior Full-Stack Engineer (6+ years experience) who thrives owning problems end-to-end. You’ll design and build AI-powered features that reach millions of job seekers, make pragmatic architectural decisions, and balance speed with long-term quality. This is not a backlog-ticket role; we want someone who takes a concept all the way to production, not just executes what’s handed to them.

This is a NY based role with regular in-office presence required (hybrid schedule).

What You’ll Do
  • Design and build AI-powered products and features that deliver meaningful user impact
  • Build and maintain scalable backend services and user-facing applications
  • Collaborate closely with product and design team, and other engineering teams to deliver high-impact features
  • Make structural technical decisions and clearly articulate trade-offs when solving complex problems
  • Take ownership of a product area, service, or technical domain and drive it forward
  • Continuously improve system performance, reliability, and developer experience
What We’re Looking For
  • 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong foundation in programming and software design principles
  • Proven experience building well-scoped, performant modern web applications
  • Production experience with React or Next.js and at least one of the following languages:
    Go, Python, or Java Script
  • Comfort navigating the full stack and pulling in what’s needed to ship
  • Strong ownership mindset and ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams
Nice to Have
  • Experience working with AI tools, prompt engineering, or integrating AI into development workflows
  • Search infrastructure experience (Elasticsearch or similar)
  • Familiarity with message brokers (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS)
  • Database optimization experience (e.g., MariaDB or similar relational databases)
  • Experience with modern frontend tooling (e.g., Vite)
  • Background in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
What Success Looks Like
  • Consistently delivers product features with high quality and strong attention to detail
  • Uses AI-assisted development fluently, producing clean and maintainable code at higher velocity
  • Builds strong partnerships with engineers, product and design, contributing to team and organizational growth
  • Proactively surfaces problems and drives them to resolution
  • Makes the codebase, the system, and the team around you measurably better over time
Compensation & Benefits

$200,000 - $220,000 a year

  • Competitive compensation: base salary $200,000 ~ $220,000 + stock options
  • Home office setup stipend
  • Gym membership reimbursement
  • Commuter benefits program
  • Comprehensive health coverage: medical, dental, and vision
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Health Savings Account (HSA), Health Care FSA (HCFSA), and Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA)
