Tech stack

Artificial Intelligence Amazon Web Services Software as a Service Python (Programming Language) Large Language Models Machine Learning Operations Front End Software Development

Job description

As our Senior Fullstack Engineer, you’ll be hands-on across the stack - designing, building, and scaling systems that power our AI-driven platform. Expect autonomy, speed, and a ton of ownership.

  • Architect and build scalable systems - from backend APIs to frontend dashboards - that process tens of millions of web events per day.
  • Design large-scale data infrastructure that explains how websites are built, why they perform the way they do, and how to optimize them.
  • Train and integrate LLMs into production to automatically hypothesize, generate, and validate website variants.
  • Shape engineering culture & practices - your fingerprints will be all over our tech stack, architecture, and team processes.
  • Experiment, prototype, and iterate - research + product + AI + scale, all at once.

This isn’t about maintaining yet another SaaS app - it’s about building an AI engine that redefines how digital products are created.

Requirements

  • A software craftsman - you write clean, scalable code and know how to ship at speed.
  • 5+ years fullstack experience (Python, JS, AWS preferred, but not a blocker).
  • Experience leading teams or driving major projects.
  • Background in CS, EE, Math, or equivalent hands-on mastery.
  • An AI enthusiast who wants to build with LLMs and shape how they’re applied in the real world.

Bonus Points:

  • Startup experience (you thrive in zero-to-one).
  • Experience training or deploying ML models in production.

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive compensation
  • Meaningful equity - real ownership in Moonshot AI’s success.
  • Full health coverage (medical, dental, vision) for you + your family.
  • Unlimited PTO - we trust you to take the time you need.
  • Tax free commuter and parking benefits
  • Office-first culture (4 days/week) - Midtown Manhattan, in the middle of it all.
  • Work directly with the founding team - your impact is immediate, visible, and career-defining.
  • Free One Medical Membership
  • 401k
