    Location: [Location / Remote / Hybrid / In Person]

    Experience: 0–2 years
    Compensation: $130.000 - $ 180,000 + equity

    About the Role

    We're looking for an ambitious early-career Software Engineer who wants to build real products and grow quickly in a startup environment.

    You'll work across the product and engineering stack, ship features directly to users, and take meaningful ownership much earlier than you might at a larger company.

    We care less about years of experience and more about technical ability, curiosity, speed of learning, and evidence that you love building things.

    What You'll Do

    • Build and ship production features end-to-end.
    • Work across backend, APIs, databases, and user-facing applications.
    • Turn loosely defined problems into working software.
    • Prototype quickly, gather feedback, and iterate.
    • Debug and improve existing systems as the product scales.
    • Use modern AI development tools to increase engineering velocity.
    • Work directly with experienced engineers, founders, and product stakeholders.
    • Take increasing ownership of features and technical decisions.

    What We're Looking For

    • Strong software engineering fundamentals.
    • Proficiency in at least one modern programming language such as Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, Java, or C++.
    • Experience building real software through internships, professional work, side projects, research, open source, or your own startup.
    • Understanding of APIs, databases, data structures, and application architecture.
    • Comfortable using AI coding tools as part of your development workflow.
    • Strong problem-solving ability and willingness to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly.
    • High ownership, resourcefulness, and comfort with ambiguity.
    • Strong communication and ability to work collaboratively.

    Strong Plus

    • Previous startup or high-growth company experience.
    • Impressive side projects or independently launched products.
    • Full-stack development experience.
    • Cloud or infrastructure experience.
    • AI/LLM product experience.
    • Open-source contributions, hackathons, technical competitions, or research.
    • Founder or entrepreneurial experience.
