About the role

Every engineer is provisioned with Claude Code and Cursor, and we expect AI agents to be your default starting point before you open a file.
The role has shifted: you are not primarily a writer of code.
AI handles a growing share of implementation.

Design, build, and maintain web applications, APIs, backend services, and lambdas for the Loop product line. Match the level of rigor to the stakes. Craftsmanship doesn't mean polish everywhere
Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers. Don't wait for someone else to make the connection
own the outcome in ambiguity.
Make the system around you more effective, not just your own output.
2-4+ years building web applications, backend services, or APIs.
You've caught AI-generated code that looked right but wasn't. You treat it the same as code from any other source: you own what ships, regardless of how it was generated.

You have a point of view on where AI helps and where it gets engineers into trouble, and you can speak to both from real experience.
Experience with PHP/Laravel, AWS Serverless, or Vue.js is a strong plus, but not required.
You care about well-tested, reliable software and have worked in agile, CI/CD environments.
You operate with intensity and hold a high bar
You give direct feedback, ask for help early, and respond to setbacks with ownership rather than withdrawal.

We expect you'll grow quickly, learning skills that last far beyond your time here.
Loop is a formative chapter in your career - a chance to shape the future of commerce and to leave better than when you arrived.
Include meaningful test coverage in every PR and contribute to a healthy CI/CD process.

protect margins, delight customers, and help merchants build businesses that last.
Life at Loop is rooted in our core values.
We balance high empathy with high standards, knowing that work is better when we can show up authentically and resilience is built by facing challenges head-on.
