Full Stack Software Engineer, AI Features

At Skylight, we thrive on innovation and creativity, building products that bring families closer together. As a Full Stack Engineer within our new AI products team, you'll be at the forefront of developing features that enhance user experiences across our platforms. This is a unique opportunity to work on both the frontend and backend aspects of our applications, contributing to a product loved by millions of users.

We're looking for a high-speed, product-minded, entrepreneurial Full Stack Software Engineer (Senior, Staff, or Principal level). In this role, you will work directly with our GM of New Businesses to build out new AI-powered features across our platform. You’ll build primarily in Ruby on Rails and occasionally in Typescript (React and React Native), integrating with LLMs from vendors like OpenAI. You should have deep expertise in both front-end and back-end technologies, with mastery of Ruby on Rails or a similar back end language and at least a working knowledge of (and willingness to learn) Typescript / React Native, and you should have at least some cursory experience building features that leverage Gen AI / LLM APIs.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and launch new user-facing features powered by large language models (LLMs)
• Own major product initiatives from zero-to-one, in partnership with a small but mighty team
• Collaborate with Product and Design to shape new products and features : bringing your creativity and ingenuity to our roadmap as well challenging assumptions, refining scope, and helping us ship elegant, focused, customer-centric MVPs and iterations.
• Integrate with third-party APIs like OpenAI and explore new model capabilities
• Build exciting new features in Ruby on Rails, Typescript, React Native, and whatever other languages / technologies we adopt to best serve the needs of our customers
• Write code that is simple, clean, tested, and pragmatic : fast enough to validate, solid enough not to drag us down later, and scrappy enough that we’re willing to throw it away.
• Mentor other engineers through code reviews and design discussions
