Software Engineer

What you will do

• Own engineering problems end-to-end within your scope: understand the requirement, scope a solution with your team, ship to production, and measure what it changed.
• Ship regularly in weekly loops with a clear answer to "what shipped this week and what did it tell us?" every cycle.
• Build across the full stack as the problem demands, including backend services in TypeScript, Node, Postgres, NATS, and Redis alongside UI in React and React Native.
• Use AI tooling as a daily part of your workflow, including Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude for code review, and own everything you ship with it, reviewing output critically before it lands in production.
• Leave the systems you touch better than you found them, with attention to code quality, test coverage, and maintainability.
• Get context directly from the people closest to the problem, ask scope questions early, and keep stakeholders informed rather than going dark mid-cycle.

What you need to have

• 2+ years of experience building production software with a product engineer orientation: you are more comfortable with "here is the problem, go figure it out" than with perfectly-specced tickets, and you have shipped real things that real users have used.
• Working range across the full stack, including backend systems in TypeScript or Node.js and UI work in React, with the willingness to go wherever the problem leads rather than staying in one lane.
• Active use of AI tooling in your day-to-day development, whether Claude Code, Cursor, or a similar agent, with the judgment to review what it produces before it ships.
• A habit of asking hard scope questions early and communicating proactively with the people around you, rather than waiting to be told what to do or going quiet when something is unclear.
• Enough systems awareness to write code that holds up under load and think past the happy path, even if you are still building intuition for large-scale architecture.

Bonus points for

• Shipped production code with Claude Code or a similar agent and can describe concretely where it saved you time and where it steered you wrong.
• Experience in a startup or small-team environment where you had to turn a vague requirement into a shipped outcome without much hand-holding.
• Exposure to distributed systems concepts such as message queues, caching layers, or event-driven architecture, even if you have not owned them end-to-end.
• Examples of improving a system rather than just adding to it, such as a refactor that paid off, a performance win, or a test suite that caught real bugs.

What is in it for you?

• Real ownership over engineering problems at a company that will put you on real features from day one, not maintenance queues or internal tooling backlogs.
• A genuinely AI-forward engineering culture where Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Bedrock are in daily use, with room to develop what AI-paired delivery looks like at your level and beyond.
• Competitive salary, equity compensation, and comprehensive benefits (health, dental, vision, 401K).
• Remote-friendly with flexibility, or based at HQ in Ventura, CA.
• A high-growth, mission-driven environment where your work has direct and measurable impact.
