The Role
A full-stack product-engineering role where you own features end to end across frontend and backend systems, work directly with customers to understand their problems, ship frequently, and set technical direction within your product area.
Tech stack: TypeScript (non-negotiable — the two-day live work trial is built entirely in it), Node.js, React, Next.js; Temporal a plus.
Requirements
- NY-based, on-site, and a US person who can legally handle ITAR/federal data
- 2–6 years of professional software engineering, ideally startup-heavy with a founding or early-stage background followed by a Series A/B
- A strong full-stack engineer comfortable across React/Next.js frontends and Node.js backend service APIs, with TypeScript as a hard requirement
- Owns features end to end with real autonomy — can take a fuzzy customer problem and scope and ship it without hand-holding
- A product-minded, customer-facing engineer who obsesses over usability and builds interfaces that help users trust AI-powered workflows
- Sound engineering judgment, solid architectural instincts, and a strong GitHub contribution history
Nice to Haves
- Exceptional GitHub activity (3,000–5,000 contributions/year pre-2024)

- Experience with government contracting or public-sector software
- Experience with complex integrations and syncing with external systems
- A founding-engineer or early-stage startup background
- An ex-athlete (especially D1 level)
