Senior Software Engineer

About the role

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
