Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Full Stack Engineer - **Company:** OPSWAT INC - **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Systems Engineering, Distributed Systems, Node.Js, TypeScript, ReactJS, Backend, Crud - **Published:** August 11, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=e58f2222c2b9a702 ## About the Role * Proven, demonstrable proficiency using AI as a force multiplier - you already operate as a 10x engineer, orchestrating AI tools and agents to design, build, and ship far beyond what you could alone, while keeping the judgment to know what "correct" actually looks like. * 5-7+ years building and operating production services and front ends, with real experience owning something end to end and carrying the weight of it once it's in front of real users. * Hands-on experience with TLS / MITM inspection and the security-sensitive edge cases that come with sitting in the middle of live traffic. * A real track record of taming latency in streaming and distributed systems - you've chased down p99 tail latency and know that "fast on my machine" means nothing until it's fast in production, under load, with observability to back it up. * Strong command of a modern backend language (Go, Rust, or TypeScript/Node) and React/TypeScript on the front end, with a deep working grasp of HTTP, TLS, gRPC/REST, and async/streaming I/O. ## Description We're assembling a small founding team to build something genuinely hard: high-throughput services that inspect live traffic, terminate and analyze TLS in the data path, and hold near-zero latency while doing it. This is real systems engineering - streaming, distributed, latency-obsessed - not another CRUD app behind a form. You won't be starting cold. You inherit real infrastructure and real users, which means what you build reaches production in weeks, not years. The work is high-leverage from day one, and there's nowhere to hide - in the best way. AI-native. Non-negotiable. You leverage AI to operate as a 10x engineer - demonstrable AI proficiency is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have. What You'll Own You take a capability from a rough idea all the way to production, and then you keep it alive and healthy there - meeting its latency and reliability targets, instrumented well enough to prove it, and hardened to survive real load and real failure. You own the outcome, not the ticket. You'll lead a functional area end to end: set its technical direction, make the calls that matter, and pull other engineers along with you. Who You Are * You see what needs to exist and you go build it - you spot the gap, scope it yourself, and start, instead of waiting for someone to hand you a task or a spec. * You lead by taking the hardest, least-defined part of the problem and making it work, and others follow because your judgment and output earn it - not because of a title. * You own the entire arc - design, build, ship, operate - and you treat what happens in production as your responsibility, making sure the system behaves exactly within the parameters it's supposed to, not just that it passed in staging. * When you hit the edge of what you know - a protocol you've never touched, a failure mode you've never seen - curiosity and sheer grit carry you across it faster than most people expect. * "Good enough" makes you uncomfortable; you hold a high bar for yourself and ship work you're genuinely proud to put your name on. ## 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) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
