    Job Description

    Full-Stack Engineer | AI/ML Start-up | Competitive Salary + Equity


    We're partnering with a fast-growing technology start-up that's building intelligent, adaptive systems powered by real-time machine learning. They're looking for a talented Full-Stack Engineer to join their team and help scale their platform.


    About Our Client


    Our client has developed a sophisticated learning engine that processes live user behavior data to optimize digital experiences. They serve a growing base of mid-market clients and are expanding their platform capabilities. The company is well-funded, technically strong, and positioned for significant growth.


    Why This Role Stands Out


    This isn't your typical full-stack position. You'll work at the intersection of engineering and applied ML, building systems that process real-time data and deliver measurable impact. You'll have genuine ownership, ship meaningful features, and grow alongside a talented team solving complex technical challenges.


    The Opportunity

    • Build and maintain APIs and data pipelines connecting real-time behavioral data to ML systems
    • Ship features to production that directly impact customer outcomes
    • Collaborate with cross-functional teams across engineering, product, and data
    • Contribute to development infrastructure including CI/CD, testing frameworks, and code quality
    • Debug production systems using modern observability tools (logs, metrics, traces)
    • Increase your technical ownership and responsibilities as you develop expertise

    What You'll Need

    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent experience)
    • 1–5 years building and supporting production web applications
    • Strong backend or full-stack fundamentals: APIs, databases, asynchronous processing, testing
    • Production experience with Python and SQL
    • Familiarity with Git and CI/CD workflows
    • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
    • Interest in applied ML or LLM-based systems (production experience is a bonus, not required)

    Nice to Have

    • Exposure to LLM-driven systems (prompt management, caching, streaming)
    • Experience with Docker; Kubernetes knowledge is a plus
    • Passion for exploring new technologies and continuous learning

    Compensation & Benefits

    • Competitive base salary (commensurate with experience)
    • Meaningful equity stake in a growing start-up
    • Full health benefits: medical, dental, vision
    • 401(k) with employer matching
    • Remote work stipend
    • Generous PTO

    Next Steps


    If you're interested in working on challenging technical problems involving real-time data, ML systems, and production-scale infrastructure, we'd love to connect. We can share more details about the company, team, and tech stack in a confidential conversation.
