About the role

  • This role sits on the AI/ML Engineering team.
  • The role is full stack, but intentionally backend-leaning.
  • We're looking for someone who is comfortable owning product behavior end to end while being especially strong in APIs, backend systems, data flows, and the logic that makes great products actually work.

Responsibilities

  • Build new product experiences from 0 to 1 across backend services, APIs, integrations, and frontend workflows.
  • Design and implement backend systems that power product logic, orchestration, data access, and AI-enabled workflows.
  • Work closely with product, design, operations, and AI/ML partners to turn ambiguous ideas into shipped product.
  • Build internal and customer-facing workflows that use AI, structured data, and software automation to increase leverage.
  • Improve product quality through instrumentation, testing, thoughtful system design, and strong engineering hygiene.
  • Use AI actively in your own workflow for coding, debugging, investigation, product exploration, and iteration.
  • While processes like IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) were designed to promote fairness, they're often administrative-heavy, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without the right tools.

Requirements

  • You are full stack, but your center of gravity is backend systems and product logic.
  • You are comfortable moving quickly in ambiguous environments and can make good decisions without waiting for perfect clarity.
  • You have a high ownership mindset and like driving work from rough idea to production.
  • You are an AI power user yourself.
  • strong backend experience in Python, FastAPI, or similar service-oriented systems
  • experience contributing meaningfully to modern React-based frontend applications
  • experience with TypeScript, React Router or Remix-style frameworks, and product UI development
  • experience with PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, or other relational data systems
  • experience with GCP or similar cloud environments

Skills

  • Python and FastAPI on the backend
  • PostgreSQL and relational data models
  • React-based web applications with modern routing and TypeScript
  • GCP-hosted services and internal APIs
  • AI and workflow systems that combine application logic, structured data, and model-backed experiences
  • deep backend engineering and pragmatic full stack product development.
  • Competitive compensation, including equity
  • Full health, dental, and vision coverage
  • Retirement savings plan through 401(k)
  • Flexible time off
