Software Engineer, Full Stack Developer, Backend Developer

Software Engineer (Generalist)

Location: New York City (Hybrid / Onsite options)

Type: Full-time

Level: Mid to Senior

We are looking for a Software Engineer (Generalist) as a generalist, you won't be boxed into a single layer of the stack—you'll own features end-to-end, tackle high-impact bottlenecks across the codebase, and help shape technical architecture as we scale.

If you love shipping product fast, diving into unfamiliar technologies to solve tough problems, and balancing speed with high-quality engineering, you’ll fit right in.

• End-to-End Ownership: Design, build, test, and deploy features across entire stack—from frontend UI/UX to backend services and database schemas.
• Problem Solve Across the Stack: Jump in wherever the product needs you most, whether that’s building an API, optimizing SQL queries, or setting up a deployment pipeline.
• Product
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with product designers, founders, and engineers to turn ambiguous ideas into production-ready software.
• Architect for Scale: Help maintain clean abstractions, write maintainable code, and ensure system reliability as user base grows.

• Broad Engineering Foundation: 3+ years of professional software engineering experience working across both backend and frontend systems.
• Language Agnostic: Fluency in modern languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, Type Script/Node.js, Go, React, Rust, PostgreSQL) and a track record of learning new technologies quickly.
• Product-Minded & Pragmatic: You prioritize delivering value to users over tech stack dogmatism, preferring rapid iteration over over-engineering.
• Strong Ownership: A track record of taking complex features from concept to production with minimal supervision.
• SF Bay Area Presence: Based in or willing to relocate to the San Francisco Bay Area for collaborative in-office work days.

• Experience in fast-paced startup environments or early-stage team dynamics.
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform).
• Interest or experience building with AI/LLM frameworks and APIs.
