Job description

Job Title : Sr. Full Stack Engineer

Salary : $200K - $275K + Equity

Location : San Francisco, CA (near Jackson Square)

Based in San Francisco, we're building a new medium for communication - one that allows people to interact directly with digital minds that capture voice, perspective, and expertise. Instead of passive feeds or static profiles, we're creating an interactive layer of identity where others can experience how you think, not just what you write.

We've already seen strong traction! We've tripled our users, interactions, and revenue in the past six months purely through word of mouth, and we're scaling quickly. Backed by top-tier investors, and advised by some of the most recognized voices in technology, media, and culture, we're looking for engineers who thrive in early-stage environments, and enjoy owning projects from concept to launch. This role is highly product-oriented : you'll design, build, and deploy new experiences across our digital mind studio, interactive features (text, voice, and video), and discovery platforms.

What You'll Do :

  • Drive key product initiatives end-to-end, from idea through architecture and deployment.
  • Build scalable systems with Next.js, Python, and AWS , ensuring seamless and reliable performance for a fast-growing user base.
  • Design resilient system architecture, including versioned APIs, caching, queues, and self-healing patterns.
  • Contribute to frontend React experiences while leading on backend design and infrastructure.
  • Integrate large language models (LLMs) via API, optimizing for user experience and performance.
  • Collaborate with a small, senior team to ship ambitious features quickly.

What You'll Bring :

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree preferred
  • 5 - 8+ years of experience in full stack development, with a strong backend foundation
  • Strong expertise in TypeScript / Next.js and Python
  • Strong background in SQL, database design, cloud infrastructure, and containerization
  • Experience designing scalable, resilient systems (APIs, caching, distributed architecture)
  • Nice to have :

  • Hands-on experience integrating LLMs via APIs
  • A track record of building and launching products, ideally in startup or early-stage settings
  • Background as a founding engineer or early technical hire
  • Familiarity with prompt engineering and fine-tuning LLMs
  • Work that demonstrates an eye for user empathy and experience design
  • If this sounds like you, and you're looking to join a thriving start-up that is scaling quickly, apply today!
