Artificial Intelligence Cursor DevOps TypeScript Backend Front End Software Development

Job description

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll join as one of a small cohort of early builders, owning the hardest and most ambiguous features end-to-end, making the architectural calls that keep the team shipping fast, and acting as a force multiplier for a lean engineering team.

What you’ll be doing

  • Own end-to-end development of the platform that automates data-production pipelines for frontier AI labs
  • Make architectural and design decisions independently, raising the bar for how the product looks, feels, and performs
  • Act as a technical lead for a small pod of engineers, mentoring and unblocking teammates
  • Partner directly with operations to turn high-leverage problems into product solutions
  • Use AI coding tools daily to multiply your output while critically evaluating their results

Tech stack: TypeScript · Full-stack (frontend + backend) · AI coding tools (Cursor, Copilot)

Requirements

  • 5-10 years building full-stack product engineering, with a track record of owning architecture decisions or mentoring other engineers Hands-on experience at a startup or small team shipping products from 0
  • 1
  • A product-minded builder who talks to users and makes design calls independently
  • A CS or technical degree (Math, Physics, Engineering) from a strong program
  • A full-stack generalist comfortable working across frontend, backend, and infrastructure
  • Daily, critically-evaluated use of AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor, Copilot)
  • Clear communicator who works well with non-technical operators and stakeholders

Nice to Haves

  • DevOps / infrastructure experience
  • Strong product and design taste - you care about how things look and feel

Benefits & conditions

  • Join an early-stage AI company already working with top AI labs while still in stealth
  • Real ownership and outsized impact as one of the first engineers on a lean, high-caliber team
  • Competitive cash compensation plus meaningful equity

About the company

Our client is an early-stage, still-in-stealth AI data-infrastructure company building the data-production pipelines that power the world’s leading AI labs, with particular depth in high-value domains like finance. The founding team comes out of a major AI-data company and a frontier AI lab, and the company already partners with top labs on some of the most important capability areas in AI. This is a rare chance to join a small, high-caliber team as an early builder.
