Job description

We are hiring a Senior Full Stack Engineer to help take a complex, multi-module platform from “working” to enterprise-grade.

This is not a maintenance role.

This is a build, unblock, and scale role.

You’ll join a tight, high-performing team and immediately contribute to expanding and hardening multiple core modules. The work requires someone who can move fast, make decisions without hand-holding, and use modern tools (including AI) to accelerate execution.

What You’ll Do

  • Own and ship features across a large, multi-module platform
  • Take existing systems and scale them to enterprise-level reliability and performance
  • Move quickly from idea * implementation, even when requirements are incomplete
  • Unblock yourself without waiting on product, design, or other teams
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, QA, and leadership in a highly interactive remote environment
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term system design
  • Use AI tools to accelerate development and problem solving, Experience with any of the following is a strong plus:
  • Computer vision
  • OpenCV
  • Trimesh
  • 3D / imaging / spatial data systems

These aren’t required for this role, but may open opportunities to work on additional projects as the team grows.

Team & Culture

  • 11-person technology team (engineering, QA, product, design)
  • Highly collaborative and interactive remote environment
  • Heavy use of Slack, huddles, and live problem solving
  • Weekly 1:1s and strong leadership support
  • “Fun” is a core company value
  • No silos. No coasting. Everyone contributes.

Requirements

  • Senior-level engineer with strong full stack experience
  • Background in environments where you had to do more than just code(ex: product thinking, design input, leading decisions, or wearing multiple hats)
  • Able to make decisions quickly, execute, then refine with feedback
  • Strong problem solver who can operate with high autonomy

Technical Stack

  • Backend: Ruby on Rails (experience preferred, not required)
  • Frontend: React (or Vue / modern JS frameworks)
  • Comfortable working across the entire stack

Mindset Fit (This Matters Most)

  • Passionate about building and solving problems
  • Highly communicative and engaged (camera-on, collaborative culture)
  • Comfortable jumping into discussions and contributing ideas
  • Thrives in a fast-moving, highly interactive remote team
  • Not someone who disappears after standup, * Will you be able to collaborate 9am-5pm Eastern time?
  • Do you have experience with React, Vue, Open CV, or Trimesh?
  • Do you have experience with Enterprise SAS?

Experience:

  • Ruby on Rails: 2 years (Preferred)

Benefits & conditions

  • Remote (U.S.-based only)
  • Must be available 9am-5pm Eastern for team collaboration
  • No visa sponsorship at this time

Why This Role

  • High ownership and real impact on a growing platform
  • Work on meaningful technical challenges, not just incremental features
  • Join a team actively investing in engineering, not cutting corners
  • Opportunity to grow as the team expands (multiple hires planned)
