Job description
About the Company
Our client is a venture-backed company building AI-native software to automate a large, traditionally manual corner of financial services. They are well past early traction, with major enterprise customers live on the platform and several more in late-stage sales, and they run a fully remote team with multiple years of runway. This is an environment built for engineers who thrive on autonomy, ownership, and shipping quickly.
Founded around 2020 ยท Fully remote team ยท Industry: Fintech, AI, B2B enterprise software
The Role
This is a senior/staff full-stack individual-contributor role where you ship to production early and quickly take ownership of mission-critical work.
What you'll be doing
-
Designing, building, and launching complex, multi-step AI agents that customers rely on to automate operational workflows.
-
Integrating with third-party services APIs for document generation, automated decisioning, and fraud prevention.
-
Building the next generation of the platform's job-processing infrastructure on AWS for a more observable, reliable back end.
Tech stack: TypeScript, React, Node/Express (containerized), GraphQL/Apollo, PostgreSQL, AWS (ECS, RDS, ElastiCache, Kafka, ElasticSearch), Terraform.
Requirements
-
7 to 25 years building software, with at least 5 years at a senior level, owning full-stack web applications end to end from design through deployment.
-
A track record at product-led technology companies where the software itself was the product, such as high-growth VC-backed startups or major tech companies, rather than internal tooling at non-tech firms.
-
Genuinely full-stack, splitting your time roughly evenly across frontend and backend (around 50/50 or 60/40 either way). Strongly backend-only or frontend-only profiles are not a fit for this role.
-
Deep, recent, hands-on TypeScript experience in production, with concrete examples of complex systems you have shipped.
-
Experience building and scaling high-throughput distributed systems in the cloud on AWS, managed with infrastructure-as-code such as Terraform.
-
Working fluency across a modern web stack: React, Node/Express, GraphQL/Apollo, and PostgreSQL.
-
A sharp eye for security, given the sensitivity of the data involved.
-
Able to work remotely on U.S. business hours, with a history of steady tenure and clear progression (typically at least 2 years per role).
Nice to Haves
-
Experience designing and scaling complex relational database schemas.
-
Background in fintech.
-
Familiarity with modern AI product development practices such as evals, experiment design, and dataset curation.
-
An SRE-minded approach to building reliable, observable, low-maintenance infrastructure.
-
An active GitHub and personal side projects.
Why Join
-
Build AI-native automation in a large, traditional industry that is overdue for change.
-
Ship to production from day one with real autonomy and end-to-end ownership.
-
A modern, well-invested engineering environment: TypeScript monorepo, end-to-end type safety, 100% infrastructure-as-code, and per-PR staging environments.
-
Strong commercial traction and several years of runway.
-
Fully remote across the U.S. and Canada, with strong benefits including full medical premiums for employee and family, dental, vision, 401(k), HSA/FSA, and flexible time off.
