Able to explain what a genuine review process for AI-generated code looks like, not "vibe coding" without review or understanding. * An entrepreneurial mindset: someone who understands and accepts the trade-off between a pre-seed company's risk and its potential reward. Desirable Experience: * React Native and Expo. * Experience with monorepo tooling (turborepo, pnpm workspaces, or equivalent). * Experience in insurance, fintech, or another regulated/compliance-sensitive industry. * Side projects, open-source contributions, or prior startup/founder experience. * Some exposure to C#/.NET is a bonus (not required) as the team may occasionally use it for specific future services, though it is not part of the core stack. ## Description If you're looking to join a pre-seed startup at the ground floor and help shape both the product and the engineering culture from scratch, and you're comfortable with the risk-and-reward trade-off that comes with that, this could be the right opportunity for you. About the Role We are seeking a Full Stack Software Engineer to help build the adjst.ai platform from an early stage. This position offers a distinctive opportunity to work across the full stack, from React/TypeScript interfaces through to a TypeScript/Node.js back end, with real influence over technical decisions and engineering standards as one of the company's earliest engineering hires. This is a pre-seed company: it's not a guaranteed path, but when we succeed, the upside is significant. This role won't suit a typical career developer looking for a safe, well-trodden path., * Designing, building, and shipping features across the full stack, from database to UI. * Working closely with the founding team to translate product requirements into robust, scalable systems. * Building and maintaining APIs and services in TypeScript using Node.js and Next.js, backed by PostgreSQL, with attention to query performance and tuning. * Building responsive, accessible interfaces in React and TypeScript, using the team's front-end toolkit (Vite, turborepo, pnpm, Radix, ShadCN, Tailwind, Zustand, Tanstack Router, Tanstack Query). * Contributing to the mobile experience using React Native and Expo, sharing patterns and tooling with the web codebase where sensible. * Using AI coding tools as part of your workflow: critically reviewing, testing, and taking ownership of AI-generated code rather than accepting it uncritically. * Participating in code review, architectural discussions, and establishing engineering practices and standards as an early hire. * Helping build a culture of strong engineering discipline (clean code, sound OOP design, and a proper test pyramid) in a company operating in a regulated, data-sensitive industry (motor insurance). ## Related Videos - [GraphQL + Apollo + Next.js: A Lovely Trio](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/311-graphql-apollo-next-js-a-lovely-trio) - [Stop using Node.js like in 2020!
