About this job
Job Title: Software Engineer, Platform Engineering
Job Type: Full-time
Location: Remote
The Role
You'll work across our internal platforms, products, and AI-driven workflows, owning solutions from initial concept and system design through implementation, launch, and iteration.
Ideally, you've been part of an early-stage engineering team at a fast-growing startup, where you've helped shape technical architecture, made key product decisions, and built systems that evolved alongside the business.
We're looking for someone who thinks beyond code, understands the why behind what they're building, and leverages AI to move faster and solve problems more effectively.
What You'll Own
• Build products from 0 to 1, translating business needs and ambiguous ideas into well-designed, production-ready solutions.
• Own the end-to-end engineering lifecycle, from problem discovery and system architecture to development, deployment, and iteration.
• Design scalable, reliable systems, making thoughtful decisions around architecture, data modeling, APIs, and integrations.
• Work closely with product, design, and operations to define requirements, challenge assumptions, and deliver meaningful outcomes.
• Build and evolve internal platforms, tools, and AI-powered workflows that improve efficiency and enable business growth.
• Leverage AI-powered development tools to accelerate engineering workflows, improve productivity, and deliver high-quality solutions.
• Make pragmatic technical trade-offs, balancing speed, simplicity, performance, and long-term scalability.
• Take ownership of technical challenges, continuously improving system reliability, architecture, and the overall product experience.
What We're Looking For
• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a strong foundation in full-stack development and backend systems.
• Strong system design and architectural thinking, with experience designing, building, and evolving production systems.
• Proven 0-to-1 product development experience, taking ideas from concept to launch in fast-moving environments.
• Experience working as an early engineering team member at a startup, contributing to both technical and product decisions.
• Product-oriented mindset: You understand user needs, business goals, and how engineering decisions translate into product outcomes.
• AI-native mindset: You actively leverage AI coding tools (such as Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) in your daily workflow and know how to use them effectively to accelerate development and problem-solving.
• Strong understanding of backend architecture, APIs, databases, and modern software engineering principles.
• Experience building across the stack using modern frameworks and technologies, with the flexibility to choose the right tools for the problem.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, challenging assumptions, making independent decisions, and taking full ownership of solutions.
• A pragmatic, hands-on approach to engineering, with a bias toward shipping, learning, and iterating quickly.
Nice to Have
• Experience building AI-powered products, agentic workflows, or LLM-integrated applications.
• Experience designing internal platforms, developer tools, or workflow automation systems.
