Amboras is an AI-native commerce platform that bundles every merchant tool natively, with an AI agent as the primary interface. It is building a direct alternative to Shopify and the legacy commerce stack. The company was the fastest-growing company during Y Combinator P26, has secured a $7M round, and already has a real product with 30k active users and a substantial codebase in place.

• AI-native from the ground up: A direct alternative to Shopify and the legacy commerce stack, with an AI agent as the primary interface.
• Real traction, real code: 30k active users and a substantial existing codebase — not a zero-to-one blank slate.
• YC breakout: Fastest-growing company in the YC P26 batch, backed by a $7M round.
• End-to-end ownership: Own features across the whole stack in a high-velocity environment, with relocation support to San Francisco.

• Startup founded ~10–11 months ago; hiring has so far relied on referrals. Part of YC, fastest-growing in batch, 30k users.
• Role: full-stack engineer developing new features and maintaining scalability.
• Work model conflict (flag): Intake transcript says "remote work allowed with flexible hours" and "onsite work in SF with remote options available," and a "six-day work week expected but not strictly enforced." The current role posting lists the role as On-site, San Francisco with relocation support and the Miscellaneous requirement "must be willing to work on-site in SF with nontraditional startup hours."
  
  Treat on-site SF as the operating assumption; confirm current remote flexibility with the client.
• Candidate profile: startup mentality, works independently, ~2–3 years experience; technical assessment focuses on system architecture.
• Technical: no specific programming languages required; focus on system architecture knowledge. Technical interview is a deep dive plus a brief live coding exercise.
• Compensation conflict (flag): Intake mentions an initial 120–250k range, with a recommended adjustment to 180–250k. The current posting lists $200K–$250K
  . Using the posted $200K–$250K as authoritative; flag if a candidate lands between 180–200k.
• New office opening in ~1.5 months.
• Visa: only transfers considered; no new H-1
  
  Bs due to current visa complexities.
• Timeline: ready to interview immediately; will hire as soon as a suitable candidate is found. Fast recruiter response times and detailed candidate feedback both emphasized.
• Seniority conflict (flag): The role page and intake both call for ~2–3 years and "avoid overly senior candidates." However, an HM announcement dated Aug 16, 2026 from Imad Mokadem states: "We realized that we need more senior people, and where we pay much more." This directly contradicts the posted seniority band and comp.
  Confirm current target seniority and comp with the client before sourcing — this materially changes who is in scope.

A Full-Stack Engineer who owns features end-to-end across back end and front end, treating the front end as a product surface rather than just implementing designs.

• Build across the stack — back end and front end — and own features end-to-end.
• Treat the front end as a product surface: understand UX and user behaviour, not just implement designs.
• Ship quickly and iterate on real user feedback.
• Work directly with teammates to make smart decisions and move the product forward.

Tech stack: Not specified by the client. No specific languages required; the technical screen focuses on system architecture and general problem-solving.
