Job description

We’re a seed-stage, Y Combinator-backed AI marketing automation company building a full-funnel platform that automates market intelligence, content production, campaign management, and analytics for enterprise brands. Our technology replaces manual campaign execution with intelligent, AI-driven automation - helping marketing teams improve return on ad spend, lift conversion rates, and dramatically cut production costs., * Take full ownership of features across the entire stack - frontend, backend, infrastructure, and data.

  • Build and maintain frontend experiences using Vue.js / Nuxt.
  • Develop robust backend services with Node.js and TypeScript, including event-driven background jobs via Inngest.
  • Architect and manage PostgreSQL schemas (via Supabase), ensuring data integrity and performance.
  • Manage deployments and infrastructure on Render and maintain dedicated deployments on Microsoft Azure.
  • Integrate AI agents and language model workflows using LangGraph and LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google).
  • Collaborate closely with the operations team and customers via Slack and Notion to keep solutions tightly aligned with real user needs.
  • Contribute to product thinking, applying user-centric design principles across the full product lifecycle.
  • Work with Linear, GitHub, Slack, and Notion as core collaboration and delivery tools.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of software engineering experience delivering full-stack web applications in production.
  • Hands-on, proven experience with TypeScript / Node.js backend development.
  • Solid command of PostgreSQL - schema design, query optimization, data integrity.
  • Experience owning end-to-end features or projects, from initial concept through deployment and ongoing maintenance.
  • Frontend development experience with Vue.js + Nuxt or React / Next.js.
  • Willingness and ability to work on-site in San Francisco (relocation required if not already local).
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience deploying and managing applications with Render and Inngest; familiarity with Microsoft Azure deployments.
  • Previous exposure to marketing technology, AdTech, or digital advertising platforms.
  • Experience integrating language models and AI/ML APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.).
  • Familiarity with serverless workflows or event-driven architecture (e.g., Inngest).
  • Comfort working directly with customers and translating feedback into product decisions.

You’ll thrive here if you:

  • Are energized by early-stage ambiguity and the chance to shape a product from the ground up.
  • Prefer breadth and ownership over narrow specialization.
  • Are a self-starter who moves fast, communicates openly, and takes pride in shipping things that matter.

Benefits & conditions

  • Salary: $175,000 - $200,000 USD per year
  • Equity participation at a founding-team level
  • Visa sponsorship available
