You will design and implement end-to-end features across the stack. This includes React-based frontends, TypeScript APIs, and backend services in Kotlin and Go deployed on AWS.

What you will do

• Design and build full-stack systems that integrate frontend and backend seamlessly
• Develop scalable APIs and backend services in TypeScript, Kotlin, and Go
• Deploy and operate services in AWS and other cloud providers
• Own problems end-to-end from design through deployment to production support

• Collaborate closely with teammates across the stack, including AI researchers, Security researchers and backend engineers

Required qualifications

• Experience building and operating full-stack systems
• Proficiency with TypeScript
• Experience designing and consuming APIs (REST or GraphQL)
• Strong backend development experience (Node.js, Kotlin, Go, or similar languages)
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work with incomplete information
• A thoughtful communicator who values clarity and simplicity
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment

Nice to have

• Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or async workflows
• Experience building scrappy, iterative frontends where speed and feedback loops matter more than polish
• Familiarity with AWS or similar cloud platforms
• Comfort working with infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform or CDK)
• A strong appreciation for user experience and design
• Comfortable prototyping quickly in React/TypeScript and turning ideas into working features fast
• Experience designing and optimizing relational databases (we use Postgres)
• Background in systems programming, networking, or performance tuning
• Experience with hybrid deployments (cloud + on-prem)
• Experience working in an early stage startup
