You write crisp requirements and drive cross-functional delivery with minimal supervision. * Experience (or a deep interest) in integrating AI APIs and handling complex document extraction workflows. * You are energized by working shoulder-to-shoulder with founders in our San Francisco office., * Only big tech experience, no startup background * Needs heavy management or hand-holding. Look for vague ownership language or roles where someone else made the calls. * Motivated primarily by base over equity and ownership. Signals misalignment with early-stage tradeoffs. * No experience with data-intensive or real-time systems. Filters out candidates who've only worked on simple CRUD apps. * Internships counted toward years of experience. Years should reflect production ownership, not learning environments. * Large company only, no startup-speed execution evidence. Big tech tenure without a scrappy chapter is a real risk at this stage. * No end-to-end production ownership. Has contributed to systems but never owned one fully from build to maintenance. ## Description Own core systems across the full stack - from backend services and data pipelines to the product surfaces operations teams use every day - with full production ownership., * Build and scale backend services using Python, FastAPI, and TypeScript that power AI agent workflows * Design and optimize PostgreSQL data models and queries for high-throughput document processing * Build and manage infrastructure on AWS and orchestrate workflows using Temporal * Architect and ship React frontend surfaces that give operations teams visibility and control over automated workflows * Build human-in-the-loop AI interfaces that make AI outputs transparent, explainable, and manageable * Own AI agent integrations, document ingestion pipelines, and real-time processing systems * Work directly with founders and customers to ship fast and iterate on what matters Tech stack: Python, FastAPI, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, AWS, Temporal, * Production code on both Python/FastAPI and TypeScript/React. Not "familiar with," actually shipped to prod on both sides without handing off either. * AI API or document extraction in a real product. LLM integrations or OCR that went live; filters out tutorial experience. * Concept-to-production under startup timelines. Moved fast with minimal direction; look for specifics like "built X in N weeks." * Held uptime during a scaling event. Didn't just build green-field, kept something running while it grew fast. * Enterprise-adjacent exposure (security, compliance, data retention). Signals they've thought beyond the happy path. ## Related Videos - [Build and Deploy a Fullstack App with Open Source Tooling](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/775-build-and-deploy-a-fullstack-app-with-open-source-tooling) - [Rest API Antipatterns](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100208-rest-api-antipatterns) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this)
