Job Description

What You’ll Do

  • You will be building an AI paywall editor that serves millions of customers everyday, including touching the front-end Next.js application and back-end high performance Python server.
  • Integrating the latest coding models, APIs, and techniques into the editor to improve generation performance.
  • Writing and deploying Python code that serves hundreds and thousands of requests each second globally.
  • Work cross functionally with the founders, and directly with customers, to design, implement, and deliver the best experiences!
  • Wearing a lot more hats than listed above 👷.

What We’re Looking For

  • Keen problem solving skills: you are able to cut down ambiguous problems down to first principles and deliver a working solution.
  • Strong programming/full-stack foundation: You’re comfortable working on both backend code as well as frontend React code.
  • Experience working directly on user-facing products: you are able to figure out and understand what the user needs, including talking to customers
  • Stellar cross-functional communication skills: you are able to adapt to our ways of working and be an efficient/effective communicator.
  • Owning features end to end: you’ll write your own PRDs/quick specs when necessary, and you test your features end to end to make sure they work and satisfy the requirements

Nice To Haves

  • Experience with ML/AI/LLM integration in applications
  • Background working with design tools, chat experiences, or vibe coding tools
  • Previous experience founding or working at a high-growth startup
  • Mobile engineering/mobile experience is a plus

Reasons This Role Might Not Be A Fit

  • You’re uncomfortable with ambiguity, or need super structured requirements
  • You prefer to only one part of the stack, and aren’t willing to work across everything
  • You’ve never worked on systems with many moving parts: Our software has many different moving parts that you will be required to ramp up on

This is a full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco - we work from the office 6 days a week (Mon-Sat)
